Game Crash and Bug with successor nomination

[sdarkpaladin]

I'm playing in ironman mode and suddenly my game crashed. When i re-loaded the game, all the succession candidates got reset. I am in elective monarchy. No matter how many times i elect a successor and save the game, when i re-load it is gone. Also, when i load the game, it crashes when i proceed a few days.

I am using the steam latest version on a PC.

Unfortunately, Ironman saves are encrypted and so cannot be edited to save them, not even by us.

One remote possibility is that the local cached version of that save was not affected by the crash. The default location for this cache is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YOUR STEAM ID>\203770\remote\save games
