[2.4.2 AJJW] Kingdom-level republic vassels switching to feudal on save.

[Slizaro]

I have an Empire Merchant Republic game save from immediately prior to the Horse Lords DLC and related patches. I can play from this save point fine; however, when I save again and reload my kingdom-level (Most Serene Republic) vassals switch to feudal kingdoms.
This occurs even if I simply load the game and re-save with out un-pausing.
This still occurs with Horse Lords disabled.

DLCs: All except the music dlcs and the Horse Lords Content Pack
Mods: None

Reproduction:
1) Load Old Save - observe presence of Most Serene Republics
2) Save Game
3) Load New Save

Observe: The vassal Most Serene Republics have become Kingdoms

I tried to attach the save file but it keeps breaking on upload, I think it is over the allowed size.

Please upload the save using a file-sharing site such as Mediafire or similar site, without the save there's not much we can do!

Thanks for the report.

OK, good idea, lets try this then:

Seems similar to another issue, I'll update it with information provided here.

Thank you!

I've had the same thing happen when I am a king-tier merchant republic with my duke-tier vassals.
