War that crashes the game when it ends

[Redwood Elf]

OK, I've made a bug report thread for this as well, but I have a war that I can't finish without surrendering, which is a really stupid option, given that doing so gives the enemy control over half my territory. The game crashes to desktop as soon as I try to end the war in a "Status Quo" which would give me all the systems I claimed anyway.

Here is the Bug Report Thread with multiple savegames in various states:

Just so everyone can see how badly this is borking the campaign,Here is a before and after of my only available option. Since the war cannot end with status quo (where I would GAIN systems) because the game crashes, It only allows me to Surrender.

As you can see on the top (the "Before" picture) I own a sizeable chunk of territory to the East, and pretty much the entire west side of the galaxy. After being forced to surrender because of this bug, I lose more than half my territory, including everything to the East and a gigantic chunk to the northwest,as well as being pushed back significantly to the south.

So has anyone even tried looking at these savegames? I did a lot of fiddling to produce the savegames to try to document situations where the bug showed up to help track down the causes, but I haven't seen any feedback at all. Since Crashing the players' game to Desktop isn't a valid tactic in battle in Stellaris for the AI (unless the game is a lot more meta than I think...is that you in there crashing my game, Deadpool?) I've tried to help track down the cause of this so future players won't have this problem.

I do thank you for your activity on this issue. But running it in two forums in parallel has I think stopped it from progressing in either ... it seems you are fairly sure it is a game bug so BR is the right forum for it.

Well I only crossposted it here because I wasn't even seeing any views on the bug report forum after a good stretch of time. I wasn't sure anyone had even read it, let alone downloaded the savegames to try them out. I still don't even know if anyone has even verified that it crashes on any other machine but mine.

It says Views: 44 when I look at it ... note that Paradox have been on a break for the last 4 days so nothing would happen over that period. By all means update that thread so QA can hopefully look at it soon.
