How much "pain" is this causing you?
7

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
At the end of every successful war, when I'm called in as the ally, my war participation is showing 0% and I get no prestige. This even happens for wars where I heavily participate or single-handedly do all of the work.

In the files I shared, I was called in by my vassal & ally to defend against a peasant revolt, despite doing all the heavy lifting including winning all battles, sieging the enemy holding, and capturing the enemy leader, my computed war contribution is 0.

We win these wars with 100% yet I don't get any credit/reward for saving the day for my ally.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
1. Wait until an ally calls you into a defensive war
2. Do everything for your useless ally
3. Get 0 war participation score
4. Cry over your wasted money and manpower for literally no gain

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?

I have quite the opposite issue. I got 100% war contribution, even though I did next to nothing . I was called into a Holy War by my ally and all I did was besiege 1 county. Meanwhile, my ally took control over 3 counties and won a battle. Somehow, I got 100%. contribution... Doesn't make any sense.

Quite a few people are encountering this bug.

I have myself, twice now, and every time I intervene to save my fool vassals from peasant uprisings. The war contribution is always "0" no matter what you do.

After playing more I'm starting to think this is by design, though poorly communicated. When defending against a Peasant Rebellion I think the intention is that there's no prestige/reward to be had. I think that's fine (though you really should get an opinion bonus from the person whose butt you're saving).

I think this is somewhat hacked in by giving 0 participation to all the defenders. To be honest it would make a lot more sense to have participation work like any other war but just have the reward be the change in opinion which can be surprisingly useful if you're coming to the rescue of a particularly unruly vassal.

You also get zero contribution in regular feudal wars of your allies, not only defensive wars against uprisings. Only wars in which the contribution system actually works are Holy Wars.

This bug is pretty glaring and should be fixed ASAP. I have opinion to lose or gold to lose when it comes to joining an allies war.

Yeah, the issue still persists. Either you get 0%, or 100%, there's no in between.

I think you get contribution if the war is between two different kingdoms, but not if it's between two vassals of the same kingdom (even if it's not your kingdom)? I've gotten contribution points from some of my allies' wars, defensive and offensive, and 0 contribution from a bunch of others. None of the wars were holy wars since we're all unorganized northerners, but a couple may have been subjugation wars?

Maybe also succession plays some role in it? On some wars my ally's king died and was replaced and I get the whole "your alliance is no longer valid", "new alliance heir has joined the war [that they started]" and I ended up with 0 score for that war despite doing most of the work. Definitely not the only cause, but could be multiple bugs in play?

I’m still experiencing this on console in 2024.

I see those too, but a thouth is not a bug. I only see 0% in Peasant/Faction wars, instead this you no gain nothing when finish this wars... i thinking is right. Because you gain a lot of respect in ally's war battles, and gain gold in siege and prisoners.
And sometimes, in other type of ally wars, when i have only one battle and lost them (in siege of enemy city), i had a 100%... is because this percentage is only for aliances, not for war leader, instead this, if you are only one who help your ally, and got a 100 (maybe) war points, you had a 100% of contribution.
