Summary​

Game keeps crashing after founding paper company: Scoped object of type 'company' is not valid

Description​

I was playing as the United States of America and I founded the paper company, ever since it's been crashing after about a minute of gameplay. It's an Ironman save so I cannae reload back to an older savefile. This essentially results in a softlock until the issue is resolved.
