Ever found it frustrating that you cannot save your game after you lose and the Game Over screen pops up? Perhaps you find your current world way too cool and want to play on as another character after your dynasty expired? One can go back to an autosave, of course, but that's not quite the same world that you left when you lost the game - it'd be much more handy if you could just save the game and then load it right as it was when you lost.
Well, perhaps Paradox will introduce such a functionality some time before the end of the world. Until then, there is still a hack-job way to do this. When you press Escape on the Game Over screen, do you notice how the Escape menu briefly appears and then disappears? Now hold down escape: the menu will rapidly begin flashing in and out. Now, what you have to do is hover your mouse over Quick Save and, while holding down Escape, rapidly begin clicking until a momentary pause lets you know that a quicksave has been created. Now you can quit and load up the quicksave that you created (you may accidentally create two identical copies every now and then, but that's okay, better two quicksaves than none). When I tested it, the game loaded up properly and didn't crash for about 5-6 months (at which point I quit), so I assume the save you create this way isn't broken.
I'm not sure how many people know this, but since it's not exactly an intended feature, I imagine there are quite a few people who didn't know this.
(Also, I'm not sure how this is supposed to work in vanilla, but as my test character - Aella, 867 scenario - I couldn't immediately surrender both wars and thus lose. In CK2+, I was able to do this. Odd - is it normal that you cannot surrender in vanilla unless you are at -100%?)
