I don't know where to post this so here

i don't know where to post this, or if i should pm someone or what, so i guess i'll post this here.
I got a crash last night that turned the entire game into uncolonized land... or at least according to the game.
From my modding experiences i usually got this when i did an event that had a bad scope in it's implementation of commands...
Like, Every_province = without some sort of limit or a bad limit... that sort of thing...
and looked at the crash report and kept seeing something about a volcano... so i looked at the volcano scripting
and saw this, and since i have some understanding of scripts (probably just enough to be dangerious har har)
and i saw this, (which i have never seen before) --->
event_target:volcanic_province = { <--- should that : be there? (that was copied directly from the file no changes) (just trying to be a helpful modding person)

I have had the same problem and I have seen a lot of people who had it as well, I don't think there is a fix as of yet or anything we can do but I hope it gets resolved soon because it is just sad to lose a game you've spent a while on :/

yeah, i don't know what's causing the crash, it might not be the volcano thing at all... the only reason i commented is that one of the big things in the crash report was something to do with a volcano event and I have never seen paradox use a : in their scripts... especially not one that has no spaces in between it.
so i thought i'd try to be helpful.... in my tots not professional way.

event_target:volcanic_province is normal syntax. You can find many examples if you search for "event_target:" in the files. The wiki has some more details: https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Event_modding#Event_targets

The corrupted saves are probably caused by wrong data about the concentrate development cooldown which is written to the save. But if you don't mind losing ironman, you can recover your saves as long as you still have a version which was not loaded with the continue button on the main menu(doing that reduces such a save to 200kb and almost all data is lost).
