Just tossing out that Gury Juve's point is still valid as of the date of this post (for me at least).

Turns out it was just the "Shut up we don't care" mod causing crashes whenever anything vassal related was opened. So that's their problem to fix. Thanks anyway <3

Oh no, I've been prepping for a new member of the household and haven't been able to play since 3.6 released. I'll try and look into this, what error is happening now?

Hello my dear mod developer, I fear your mod may be needed again. I would like it very much if you made an updated version.

This mod is not "no longer needed" it also fixes other mods than the ones listed.
Thank you very much for saving my game lol

Thanks! This was great while it was needed! :-)

Thank you! This mod was very helpful.

I love you.

Main mods updated =)

yes, indeed is saved my saved game as well

KING!

I love you, your mod has salvaged my game

Ah, nevermind, all fixed

Ayo, when I subscribed to the mod it says that it's missing a Descriptor File

This mod should be last. @Tupiks

what is recomended load order? when i downloaded this mod and set it active game will crash at the 100% load mark, when unloaded it goes through without issues

Thank you, havent crashed for 20 years now.

Thank you Mr. LordVisceral, I had been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it was my game was crashing, after loads of testing I figured out it was a AI vassalizing another AI and crashing the game, this fix has completely fixed the issue, I can't thank you enough!

Thank you for your hard work on this. Thought I lost game because of this problem and after few hours of looking what is going on, I managed to find this and you saved me. Thank you.

Fixed my game, Thanks!!

You're welcome, just know that this fix was tailored to this mod and using it to fix other mods may cause unforeseen consequences (namely some economy related modifiers might not work from those mods)

so i actually dont use any of the two mods in the description but i kept crashing on vassal screen and proposing subjucation cuz i use alot of mods, then i subscribed to this mod and it seems to fix the crash with the other mods i had on my load order thanks for this.

@LordVisceral
Well, a contract cooldown might be the most reasonable explaination. While there is no AI empire that does change its status, there is at least one subsidary/vassl nation in the galaxy.
Or the mod solves an economy modifier error.
I'm just happy, that your fix helped.
My current session just perfectly fits my Star Wars "inner movie"

@snipterm
That probably means that something was trying to call a modifier that didn't exist on that day. While the vassal problem was the most prominent, this patch does fix the overall economy file, so if there was another issue that was flying under the radar related to that file this should fix that problem also.
It also could just be the same problem, because if an AI happened to end it's first ever vassal contract cooldown on that day then the game would attempt to call that modifier on that day (and it would also explain the consistency of always being the same day)

Interstingly enough, whille I do not create a vasall, nor do I do anything at the moment of my game crash, the mod fixed my crash at a specific date (1st November 2354).
There is also no AI empire, that changes their status.

thx

Nice, thanks for this you saved me 10 hours I would've wasted

It should be compatible yes

is this save game compatible? I learned too late that it was the tradition mod that was causing my game to crash, I thought I fixed it by disabling some mods that were about vassals.

@Joakim.westergaard
The following is a complete changelog of every piece of code that was added to the 3.3 version of ESTs econ_category file.
I would recommend a couple things. First take note of all of the "upkeep" modifiers added. Second those last few images are very relevant as they create categories for overlords and specialist subjects.

As for fix methodology, I would recommend taking a look at everything that is different between your copy and the base game copy and adding in anything that you're missing.

Wow, this got busy since I last looked. Glad I could help y'all :)
I'll scan through and help with questions as I go.

@aleionx, the patch definitely works. At least it fixes the one problem everyone has been having with the vassal screen. Are you having a different problem? If not, did you load this mod last? (at the end of your mod order)

unfortunately patch doesn't work...but thank for your try

based

Holy crap THANK YOU! This works :) Couldn't figure out what mod was doin it, and I only had a handful. Wouldn't have thought it was those, but woot! Reloaded a save game, worked just fine now!

@jonnyblade38 usually when someone is voting with you their picture is abstained but their vote weight is added to yours

It works, thanks a lot!

don't know where the bug is comming from, so I figured I'd just post here. My Vassals who are required to vote with me, abstained from the Custodian vote.

@Kerya Roketa; but I'm quite sure it'll break other modifiers. I asked @LordVisceral for help a couple of posts ago, so we could get a proper fix for E&CC and still hope for help :-)

This helps with "Ethics and Civics Classic" mod too! Thanks!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU <3

hello，i found i cant annex my puppet through integrate or cheat order “own” or cheat order “force_integrate”
i dont know whether have relation with PT？did anyone have similar bug？

Is it possible that this works for other tradition-mods too? Plentiful Traditions seem to run fine with this too, crashes without when doing vassal related stuff.

@LorsVisceral, We're experiencing exactly the same problem with Ethics and Civics Classic. I'm trying to update the mod as the original author has retired but I'm stumbling in darkness regarding this issue though. Could you elaborate on what changes were made to make it work? Any help would be MUCH appreciated by both myself and the E&CC community.

Found my way here through the original mods workshoppage.
Hell of a job, couldn't figure out why my game crashed after I vassalized someone.
Thanks!

YOU ARE MY SAVIOR

@Th3 Infinite, patch only; this will not provide any of the features of any of the expanded mods. You will need to load those mods above this mod.

Bro, you are the best ever i was going crazy trying to figure out what mod was causing this crash. Absolutely amazing

Genius! Thank you!

you're a frikking lifesaver! This has been bugging me for a while now. Thanks a million

Can confirm it fixes vassalization Problems, gj. Even works on saves. Had the same Problem when vassalizing and the error/exception logs weren't that useful.
Thanks alot!
