Government window does not display, blocking end of turn.

[wrightc214]

Describe the bug Has occurred during three different games now dating back to March 11. I complete a civic that contains a policy card that replaces an existing card. I have to fill the now vacant slot but something is failing. When clicking the Gov icon, the proper sound effect fires but the window doesn't display. The most recent occurrence happened when I completed the Globalization civic. I had Triangular Trade in play and unlocked Ecommerce. Loading an auto save before the error does not resolve the issue.

To Reproduce IDK. It doesn't happen every time it could, but it does happen eventually in every game (3/3 so far).

Expected behavior The policy screen should be visible.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

General informations

• OS: Windows 10
• Version [e.g. 1.0.11.16 (556634)]
• Expansion All
• Other mods Many, but only Extended Policy Cards seems like a likely coconspirator. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2266952591

Save game and logs I checked the logs after writing the rest of this. Going to post it anyways even though it appears to be the other mod causing issues. Runtime Error: E:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\2266952591\GovernmentScreen.lua:1491: attempt to index a nil value stack traceback: E:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\2266952591\GovernmentScreen.lua:1491: in function 'EnsureRowContentsFit' E:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\2266952591\GovernmentScreen.lua:1460: in function 'RealizeActivePolicyRowSize' E:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\2266952591\GovernmentScreen.lua:2637: in function 'OnRowAnimCallback' Lua callstack:

Additional context

• Quiting to desktop and reloading saves does not fix.
• Reloading an old auto save does not fix. The gov screen is already non functional before the soft lock turn. Its possible something else made it stop working and I don't notice for a few turns.
• Restarting with a new map causes a hard freeze once everything is loaded to turn 1.
• Reloaded even further back (32 turns) and the screen works. It appears the issue is occurring silently. The restart wiped out the auto saves so I can't pinpoint the turn it failed.
• Restarting from the early working save performs as expected.

Indeed is Extended Policy Cards... but doesn't look like it's the fault of the mod? EPC is implemented where the entirety of GovernmentScreen.lua is copied from the Firaxis files and then the mod stuff added, so line 1491 in that mod is the one with SetOffsetX here:

    for _,tSlotData in ipairs(tSlotArray) do
        local inst :table = m_ActiveCardInstanceArray[tSlotData.GC_SlotIndex+1];
        inst.Content:SetOffsetX( nextX );
        nextX = nextX + step;
    end

My guess is that inst object is null, because whatever is supposed to be in m_ActiveCardInstanceArray is not there. I went up and down that code and couldn't find something I suspected as the cause... but it seems likely the fact that you discovered something that then caused that policy to disappear is the reason; which you mostly already knew, but based on the code that is what I figure is happening.

Do you have a save file? If you disable EPC, load the save and then try to continue does it work? (I would not think it should - EDR doesn't appear to do anything with any of the Controls involved with this error!)

Just had it happened. Disabling EPC fixed the issue. Re-enabling EPC made it go back to not working.
