I just lost my +80 hour campaign to a bug that causes consistent crash
I’ve hit a wall in my 80-hour save where my game crashes to desktop the exact moment my character dies. I’ve checked the error logs, and the fatal error is always the same:
Error: Failed to fetch variable for 'task_contract_destination' due to not being set Script location: file: common/task_contracts/laamp_extra_contracts.txt line: 1144
It seems like a vanilla bug with the Roads to Power (LAAMP) contract cleanup system. When the game tries to invalidate an active "Steal Artifact" contract upon death, it fails to find the destination variable and crashes.
Has anyone else ran into this exact problem and found a fix for it? I also found a report on it from the forums from 1 year ago https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/crash-due-to-the-scheme-steal-artifact-targeting-non-existing-ruler-character-in-1-16-2-1.1759861/
