[2.7] [WHGQ] Vassal limit greatly reduced

[Datamoc]

Description: As the game crashed using the old version (using false beta 2.6.3). I've move to 2.7.
The game reduce the maximum of vassals by 26 accroding to an unkwnown Game rule.
My Roman Empire is unmanagable....

I presume that is related to "

• Fixed the "vassal limit" game rule having no effect, as it would use the option of the "demesne limit" game rule instead'

DLC Information: all DLC expect Aztecs and lmonks
Mods: better readable fonts
Reproduction Steps: load the saved game
Attachement : see screenshots, the web site do not let me upload a saved game.

I suppose you've choosen a quartered vassal limit when started that game and now the rule is finally working...

 

[Datamoc]

In theory no... But nobody is perfect.

It looks like you have the "Quartered" game rule option enabled. You can verify if you do by clicking on the "I" icon to the very top left-hand corner of the screen. Just above your character's portrait, then clicking on "Game Rules" to bring up the rules of your ongoing game.

I guessing that the rule might have been set previously, but didn't have any effect since that rule was bugged before 2.7.

The Quartered option is enable... I do not remember that.
That's life.

I have the same issue. I started a game on patch 2.6, and selected some custom rules, such as turning off Aztec invasion, shattered retreat, defensive pacts. When I moved to 2.7, the game automatically enabled "Quartered" vassal limit. I did not select Quartered vassal limit in custom game options in 2.6.

You can change game rules mid-game by editing the save. Conveniently, towards the top of every save file is a list of game rules. Just change the vassal limit one and you should be alright.

Note that this will, of course, not work in ironman. You might also want to make a save with normal vassal limit rules, then check that save file to see what the proper line should look like (i.e. whether it will be "vassal_limit = full", or perhaps just blank because we're aiming for the default rule).
