It would be great if we'd get some feedback on this.

Same issue here.
Iron man 867 Robertine start (Save attached)

I am literally friends with the Pope; but when I request to divorce and spend 100 piety it doesn't do anything but take my piety away.
Tried twice, and I have no more piety to try again.

I am legit bummed that the game I spent hrs on is effectively lost because of a bug.


C'mon paradox, I paid you 30$ for the new DLC, please fix the bugs from over a year ago.

Issue still occurring.
So much for CRUSADER kings when the main religion still have a major unfixed bug for almost a year now

 

[M_Dragon]

Issue still persists, can we get this fixed? I had to stop an ironman save because my player had only daughters and I lost my dynasty

Hello. I presumably have found a solution for the issue. I don't claim that everything in the way I used is flawless, but at least it is working as it was intended, I think. So, let me share. (My version of the game is 1.9.2)

1. We go to the folder with the game itself to find the file with such the path: "Crusader Kings III\game\common\character_interactions\00_marriage_interactions.txt"

2. There are at least five types of interactions defined in this file: divorce_character_interaction, divorce_character_house_head_interaction, divorce_character_rel_head_interaction, divorce_character_dynast_request_interaction, divorce_character_dynast_request_rel_head_interaction.

3. As far as in my own playthrough I encountered the issue regardind specificaly the case, when I try to ask a religious head to divorce a member of the dynasty of my character, I'm going to tell about my interruption in the divorce_character_dynast_request_rel_head_interaction part of the code (starts on the line 4435). Though the same solution could be applied to other parts of code as well, maybe.

4. I see two main problems in this interaction definition code. The first problem is in the cost section, and the second one in the is_valid_showing_failures_only section.

5. Speaking about the cost section, we see that renown is stated as equal to minor_dynasty_prestige_value. This value is defined in this file: "Crusader Kings III\game\common\script_values\00_basic_values.txt" (line 1193). And in its definition there is another value used: scale_dynasty_prestige_by_era, which in its turn is defined in the same file on the line 1212. And the code computing the scale_dynasty_prestige_by_era value requires to be executed inside a scope with the culture type. And since the cost section of our initial file is placed not in such scope, I suggest to replace

this neat and laconic, but unworkable code:
cost = { piety = divorce_cost renown = minor_dynasty_prestige_value }

with this bulky and unwieldy, but working one:
cost = { piety = divorce_cost renown = { value = { if = { limit = { scope:actor.culture = { has_cultural_era_or_later = culture_era_late_medieval } } value = 200 } else_if = { limit = { scope:actor.culture = { has_cultural_era_or_later = culture_era_high_medieval } } value = 150 } else_if = { limit = { scope:actor.culture = { has_cultural_era_or_later = culture_era_early_medieval } } value = 100 } else = { value = 50 } } } }

6. And then, speaking about the is_valid_showing_failures_only section, we see a requirement which sould be met to let you just click on the "Request Divorce" button, after you've clicked right mouse button on a character you're going to divorse:

scope:actor.dynasty = { dynasty_prestige >= minor_dynasty_prestige_value }

This requirement, in my opinion, might be completely omitted, becuse if it's not met, you won't be able to actually send a request anyway, even if you'll open a respective intention window. Hence I suggest just delite this part of code I cited above.

This bug is still not fixed. I just had this happen when trying to get my heir a divorce. It took the points(dynasty points included) but the divorce did not fire. This is on an Ironman save. What is going on that it is taking more than 2 years to fix this bug? I can include a save game if needed.

Please provide a saved game, I didn't reproduce with the old ones here, also you could check with the unofficial patch mod, there was some divorce fixes in it, so it may help you with this issue.
