Hit the same bug last night.
As it stands, the full screen and event lockup bugs are for all intents and purposes, game killing. The game is currently virtually unplayable.
Yep also got this bugged event. After closing the game and reopening the auto save file the game continuous like the event didn't happen but after a week it pops up again in all its game ending glory, it really is a game ender.
Kinda disappointing that this bug is still here, considering it isn't exactly a rare bug apparently.
