Vichy France Event is COMPLETE Bull!!!!

[Feej]

Playing as Italy in ironman mode ...... Form my own faction, take ALL of France, fully occupied by Italy (Paris, Bordeaux, ect) ........ Not allied with Germany at all, Germany controls less then 5% of France, then POOF...... Northern France is German and southern France is a Free State and instantly part of the Axis?!!!!


HOW?!!!!


WHY?!!!!


Ruined my game, I was fabricating on Germany, it removed my battlelines, and attack plans.... ALT F4.........

I LOVE Paradox games, I own CK@ and All DLC, Same for EU4, Stellaris, HOI4 and Cities.......

I am very dissapointed in Paradox over this

Weird, I would report that in the bug section. Was Germany also at war with France? (might seem like a silly question, but it isn't )

 

[Feej]

yes, germany was at war with france as well.

should not matter tho, Germany was able to take like 14 states from someone in another faction wiuthout declaring war on them is the issue

Im So Angry

Have checked the code. It's really a Paradox fault. The Vichy triggers if Germany and France are at war with each other and the latter is 70% to surrender. It doesn't count that France can be at war with another faction too.

Unless you're achievement hunting this is why you don't play Ironman. You could fix this in the console otherwise.

Hey @Feej , sorry to hear you're having issues, clearly it should not work like that. And thanks for checking @anbory. I'll pass this one along to the team to check out.

Thank you Everyone for such a speedy response.

I've fixed the offending script so it now no longer fires the event if a player country who is not in a faction with Germany, but is at war with France, controls any French territory (barring Corsica). Your unfortunate sacrifice was not in vain! It'll be in for the next update (when MtG is released).

However, one thing puzzles me. The event already has a check for Paris being controlled by Germany. If Paris isn't controlled by Germany, the event cannot fire. But you said you controlled it and it did fire anyway? That should be impossible, judging by the script.

 

[Feej]

Thank You so much! This is why i love Paradox so much. I was not hostile to Germany at the time and still had some French troops running around in France that i was having trouble catching. Germany was also right on the border of Paris. What im thinking is one of those loose troops grabbed Paris without me noticing and then Germany moved right in.

Thank You again so much!!!!

 

[Bratyn]

Yeah that would be a good explanation. Bad luck!

And no worries! It was a very fast fix, so my pleasure

This right here, happened to me as well, when i was playing Italy.

Could be related to the same bug that results in this outcome:



Capitulations in present patch go to the wrong countries even without specific event interactions. Iran is in a separate war with USSR and a USSR puppet capitulates to them without them putting a single soldier in Europe.

There's no reason in principle France can't just wrong-cap to Germany using the same interaction, just like China wrong-caps to USA or France to USSR.
