Game freeze after capturing settlement

[senosoloma]

I playing Americas campaing for Spain, and I am trying to capture New France last settlement Louisiana, each time I am capturing that city game just stop responding and I have that hour glass spinning endlessly. I really want to finish that campaign but idk what to do at that point to fix that bug

Probably crash from the succession, I guess the leader of new france is in the settlement and the heir is outside. This is an vanilla bug caused by the WhenToTest BecomesFactionLeader condition in the export_descr_character_traits file and only mods do fix this but I´m not aware of any mod that does this for the america campaign.

Easiest way to work around this is just killing the new france faction via cheat, open console and type in surrender_regions france , press enter. Other way would to kill the heir outside the last settlement of new france or better any family member of new france outside the settlement, or kill any family member inside the settlement with assassins before it gets under siege, or delete the trigger section from the export_descr_character traits file in the americas folder ( you might have to unpack the americas folder with the unpacker tool in the medieval 2 main folder when you see no such file on first try ) for the specific turn/occasion and add it again when the faction is dead or in the next turn.

Wow! Thank you for quick answer, I think you are right cause there is a heir outside the settlement. I will try to solve it and I'll see if that works, hope it is :)

UPD: I typed down cheat code and this time everything worked correctly. Thank you for help!

Yup, you need the export_descr_character_traits file to disable the triggers temporarily. Every mod has it ready to access, obviously the default game has it only packed.

Nice job, mekkerman. Radical, but nice.
