Faction not being eliminated on reload?

With Fire & Sword here.

In the last stage of any of the story line quests, one has to eliminate all the other factions. (I’m playing the Muscovite quest if that matters.) I have already eliminated the Cossack Hetmanate, but by mistake I hit “quit without saving” and it brought me to just seconds before their elimination. Now they persist with no fiefs and no armies. I’ve been running around former Cossack lands and don’t even see any patrol or foragers. During this time I’ve already started a war against Crimea, taken a castle, and still the Cossack faction persists.

On the faction page, it simply says that the Cossack Hetmanate “controls none”, where usually here the faction’s fiefs will be listed. Asking any Muscovite lord about the war only tells me “we have 20 armies and they have none, we’re on the verge of victory”.

Having no other choice, I declared war on the Polish Commonwealth instead. Strangely, immediately as I did so, the Poles and Cossacks have made peace. I can also make peace with the Cossacks, but that doesn’t solve anything.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
