[2.3][BTOF] Building Checksum and Ironman Savegame Corruption

[Dracko81]

Description: When launching CK2 now the checksum is not built before buttons are clickable. If you click load game and load your game before the checksum has been created, the loaded game will show as corrupted.

Mods: None
DLC: All

Replication: Relaunch CK2, load an ironman game before the checksum is built.

Clicking the load button at the top and reloading the game after the checksum is loaded will result in the game loading correctly.

How when I know if the checksum is built?

The save game won't load before the checksum has finished building, so if it has loaded the save it means the checksum is already built, but reloading the save again will trash the checksum as the global game state has been modified, its working as designed. Its protection against some old cheats that were used a long time ago.

Waited for the checksum, tried to load game and it is still corrupted.

I don't understand how this could be the case. If I start up the game and load an ironman game before the checksum is actually built(according to the title screen), it will show as broken. If you wait until after it is built it will show as a perfectly working Ironman game.

Nothing has changed other than the fact that I waited for 30 seconds before clicking the load game button. If you are unable to replicate the savegame showing as broken, let me know and I will upload one of mine that I can get to show as broken when it isn't. If that isn't enough I could try making a video and uploading that to youtube, but that is alot of effort.

Savegames should not be appearing as broken, when they are not upon starting a new instance of the game. This can't seriously be working as designed.

@super: Did you load your game and subsequently save the game on exitting? You can not undo making a broken savegame, once it is saved as broken.
