Was in the middle of the delightful peasant's war but + a unbelievably ridiculous string of - stab events (15 over 10 years + 2 heirs in a row dead to riding events) and lost all my buttons while alt tabbed.

be nice if patch comes out shortly since that game is toast. The annoying thing is I wouldn't have even lost the Mandate of Heaven and gotten the revolts to begin with if it wasn't for the ridiculous chain of stab and legit penalties.

There is a patch coming out shortly (~2 weeks), but as your issue is not a known bug there's no particular reason why waving the "new patch" wand over it will fix your situation. I rather doubt it has anything to do with the -Stab events you mention. Alt-tabbing is probably not a good idea in general, especially if you are in fullScreen mode, not Windowed.

I was referring to the patch addressing the long known peasant's war bug which it very much should. If it doesn't that saved game is garbage.

I'm assuming the disappearing buttons are related to something else. I was getting some other odd errors where it was notifying me every day that the oirat horde vassal (mongol khanate i think) changed it's capital to U something.

And I was in windowed mode not full. It normally works fine first time I've ever seen an issue

So if you exit that game and restart it and load up that save, is it still missing buttons etc? What if you start a fresh game?
Were you running with any mods loaded?
What version and checksum show on the main game menu with no mods loaded?
