Checksum changes after I start a campaign

[ramblymanguthri]

So while preparing to bugreport that my character does not receive an education trait upon adulthood (a big problem in and of itself!) I noticed that when I start a game and then resign my checksum has changed from UUYR to TUYR. Does anyone have any idea what is causing that, and if it will have any impact on my game?

If it is of any relevance, I haven't bought the new DiseaseLC yet, and neither do I have Conclave (which I figured the education problem might be related to).

The checksum only matters for multi-player, don't worry about it. In a multi-player game, you'd have to restart your game in this case, since everyone has to have the same checksum to be able to connect to each other.

If the checksum is off then either you have a mod installed or something is deeply wrong with the game. Try verifying your games cache on steam and see if you have the correct checksum for the recent patch.

Same here, if I click to start campaign and go back to main menu I get an information the game is corrupted

I have it too, except for the corruption part, no mods at all, I checked

this checksum change upon resigning-reloading should not be a problem. But there's definitely a bug in what you describe. I'm gonna revert to 2.5.2 to finish my current ironman i guess.

Thanks for the answers, everyone. I made a real bug report here.

I tried verifying it and it didn't find any problems, and the problem remains. The correct checksum is, I believe, UUYR, which is what I have when I start up the game. I also have no mods installed.

Checksum always changes when you return to the menu from character select page or resign from a game.
So after going into "Single Player" and playing an MP game.
What matters is the checksum you get first after start.

There is no bug and no issue, not with the checksum.
klopkr must have missed the part where you said that you resigned a game.


The bug seems to be about the education trait though.
I read another post saying so. MIght be indeed related to not having one of those DLCs or continuing an old game.
