== Empty Event Box Bug ==
Sometimes the game fills the screen with empty event boxes. They have no title, no text, no picture and a single button that says "OK". New events like that pop up every day rendering game unplayable. Normally this happens in a modded game.

=== What is happening? ===
This bug is caused by a corrupted event file being loaded into the game. When game encounters a pair of '''curly braces''' in the wrong places, or doesn't find curly braces where they should be, the file becomes corrupted. The events after the syntax error still exist, however their code gets essentially hollowed out – parameters such as title, description and whatever is supposed to keep the event from firing daily on every single object in the game are not read.

Usually this is a result of a mod that hasn't been '''updated to accommodate syntax''' changes between versions – either by modders themselves or new file simply haven't made it to your machine.

=== How to deal with it ===
First you need to find out what events are causing it. By using <code>debugtooltip</code> [[console command]] and hovering over "OK" button, you can find out the event's id. With luck, the modder who made this event would add some kind of identification to help you, such as adding an acronym of their mod's name, or their own.

You would need then to investigate if the mod is up to date. If it is not, you'd have to disable it and wait. If the problem is on your local machine, you'd need to force a re-download of the mod files – starting with unsubscribing and subscribing again.
