'you must wait a day for an alliance request'...it's been months!

[Iain the Hunter]

i don't get this...i'm trying to offer an alliance, it keeps telling me you must wait a day, and it's been months already! is this a bug?? highly annoying

[Gonio]

You must wait a day? Never seen that, is that from an mod maybe? Anyway only waiting time from an diplomatic actions gives a month that you can't send a new diplomat. So unless you would not meet the requirements, woulds say there should be no issue. Can you take a screenshot? Might be I msis something.

[Gonio]

A ok, didn't encounter that yet.

[Iain the Hunter]

yeah i waited a day, a week, a month, maybe a year. kept saying 'you have to wait a day'. i broke an alliance with another country (was at my max) then i could form another alliance. but it didn't say 'you have too many alliances'. it said 'wait a day'. i think that's wrong/a bug

[Liam N]

I'm having this problem as well but I am unable to make any alliances at all.

[Parkera]

Defo a bug! I get the wait a day thing when I have already offered another Alliance for example, but then the next day all is well. I'd look at the Paradox bug forum and see if anyone else has the same issue. It also may be a mod issue if you are running any.

I had this bug a few days ago. Was unable to request alliances from anyone due to "you must wait a day before another alliance request." I had to restart the game to make it go away.

Same bug -- very annoying. But the good news is restarting the game is all it takes, even with a bugged save file.

perform some diplomatic action like improving relations and then it will let u do things to them.

Two years and a half after the original post above, I can confirm that Paradox completely ignored it.

The workaround of restarting the game works, though it could be annoying if you also experience the history files parsing bug that also exists unhandled for years now.

Menus don't update when open, switching away from the screen and then back will fix 99.9% of cases such as the complaint above...

It's nearly 2019 now and this is still a bug...

[khrysenthem]

Now well into 2019 and it is still happening.

[pmpdadypenguinmn]

It's a bug. Restart the game

[Psychotic Fury]

Well it doesnt happen particularly often, ive had it twice in about 1800hrs. Usually goes away after a few months to a year.

Not to mention that a bug that clears itself on a reload is very hard to find and fix.
