It seems to be because the Surrender Limit for Skukshin is messed up so once the war starts, you instantly have 100% capitulation progress (as for some reason it sets you to surrender once you have 100% or less victory points which is... instant surrender) but I figured out a fix.

First, you'll need to go into the HOI4 where the save games are, and there will be a settings.txt, in that find "save_as_binary=yes" to "save_as_binary=no"

Once that's done, load up an auto-save before the war, and then save the game, then exit out to the main menu and open the new save file in your text editor of choice.

Once in here, you'll need to find your countries "rus_surrender_limit", and there's a lot of them, mine was all the way down on line 3,967,317, if it's the same as mine which I'm not sure, you should be able to just search for "rus_surrender_limit=-1.650", if that doesn't work you'll need to just search for "rus_surrender_limit" and look for the one which is yours, the easiest way to tell is that right beneath it'll have the nuke program progress, so just make sure that is the same as your program progress in your game and that'll be the one.

Once you found this, set it to "rus_surrender_limit=0.0" and then save the file and load the save.

You'll know it's working if you open debug mode and mouse over yourself and the "Surrender level" part has "0.00" as the number, if it's "1.00" then you did something wrong.

At that point you can keep playing and experience the rest of the mod.

If you have any questions let me know, this worked for me so hopefully it'll fix the issue for you too, and hopefully the devs fix whatever is causing it soon.

Update: Since it seemed to happen multiple times in my run, I've had to edit the save files a few times and found the easiest consistent way to find the line I need is to search "rus_surrender_limit=-1" as usually this takes me straight to the relevant part, hope this makes it easier!

Update 2: Make sure that when you're setting "save_as_binary=no" that the game is NOT running. If you change this while the game is running then it will revert back and your save files will continue being in binary, and look like gibberish. Make sure the game is fully closed, and then after saving and closing the file, run HOI4 and then double check the file to make sure it still says "save_as_binary=no".

Update 3: For anyone still experiencing this issue, there has since been a console command added that fixes it. Load up a save before the war starts and type into console: "e RUS_reset_war_weariness" and that'll prevent the bug from happening and do all this automatically for you.

Tried to use your method, but it didn't work. In the safe-file there is some nonsense from the signs. I'll wait for a fix from the developers themselves.

Unfortunately this didnt work, all I could find is rus_surrender_limit
(the square is intended). There is none near nuke progress

If you're unable to read the save file it's because it's not saved as binary, make sure the game isn't running when you edit the settings.txt and that it saves properly, and then load the game and make a new save.

That's strange, so none of the rus_surrender_limit are followed by a number? And searching rusnukes doesn't send you near to a rus_surrender_limit line? If possible could you add me and send me the save file so I can take a look at it myself?

Does it have to be an auto-save? I tried doing it on a normal save and it says: This save is from another version and cannot be loaded

It shouldn't matter if it is an auto-save or not, so long as it's a save from the most recent version of the game, I'm not sure if it will work with outdated saves, which is what that message means. Either the version of the game, or the mods in use, or the version of the mods have changed since you played on that save, would be my assumption.

Nah it's all up to date, I just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up somehow

That's strange, if you want you can send me the save file and I can take a closer look on what's wrong and see if I can fix it?

I get corrupted text when I try to open the save file, I can see the surrender limit tag but the values are corrupted so I don't know which one to edit. Do I have to get a special text editor to view it?

You shouldn't need any special text editor, while I messed with my save files using Sublime text, notepad works fine and displays everything fine for me too, so I'm not sure what causes that square to appear. As before if you could add me and send me the save file I can take a closer look, and maybe figure out what causes that square to appear and how to fix it. I have a few guesses on what might be causing it but it's hard to know without being able to see it and mess with it myself.
