HRE disappeared on me, bug?

[wizardchakka]

Ironman game, year 1470, playing Savoy, no mods. I was in the middle of a war with provence and genoa, and after winning the war and coring the provinces I was about to add provence to the HRE when I noticed that I cant do it and that the HRE button was gone from the interface. Imperial mode shows nothing on the map, and the HRE definitely hasnt been dismantled. What the hell?

if you are absolutely sure the HRE wasn't dismantled, it sounds like a bug to me

There have been no large scale wars in the empire yet, and Austria hasnt really been occupied at all, I've been their ally since the start.. God damn. I was off to a phenomenal start after several aborted attempts with Savoy. Is there a way to re-create it?

Got the same bug with my game. Restarting helps for new games, but otherwise the savefile is kind of "corrupted" so the HRE doesn't exist in these files anymore.

Nope if the imperial interface ( the one with electors, reforms and stuff) is gone, so the HRE is gone forever.

Happened to me once when I started the game. Restarting EU4 fixed it.

Restart with an older autosave.

Restart with an older autosave.

Ironman, only one autosave.
