At all start dates the Title Flags of Western Europe(Leon, Aquitaine, France, England, etc.) are black. Every County, Duchy, and Kingdom in the region excluding Ireland have a black flag. I did not have this issue when I ran the game before this patch and Horse lords DLC. I don't know if this is related, but there is also an issue with the Lombardy and Pannonia flag. Before this patch and Horse Lords DLC the flags of these two nations when I would return to a save reverted to that of Italy and Hungary when they should not have. Now however, they do not even start with the special flags, but now have generic flags with unrelated colors/design. In the example of Lombardy it is just three horizontal stripes (green, blue, and gold.) After Installing Horse Lords when I first went to the launch the game, it crashed while loading (this occurred while the loading bar read "loading flags.") I then attempted a second launch which was successful, and then noted the flag issues. I exited the game, closed steam, restarted steam(which updated) and verified the game cache. The game cache verified and I launched the game once more to see no difference in the flag issue.

DLC: I have all DLC but I am running the game with Sunset Invasion off.
Mods: I am currently not using any mods.

Black flags usually happens when the game fails to generate them properly. Go to the CK2 folder in "Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II" and delete the gfx folder. This will force the game to generate them again and should then appear correctly in-game.

Deleting the gfx folder should solve the issue if the flags of different titles (like the kingdom of Sweden). If it's the different dynasty coat of arms that are black, that would be a separate issue we are aware of. It should be fixed in the upcoming patch, though. Hope that helps!
