Checksum suddenly changed from WQLL to CWCM

[ragekage8]

I've played CK2 multiplayer several times since 1.103 was released. Just now the checksum changed and I can no longer player with my friends. All I've done since the patch is delete unneeded saves. I've tried reinstalling, deleting the map cache, and restarting my computer. Unfortunately none of those fixes solved my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ragekage8,

Please try a full clean reinstall of your game.

• Important:: Go to '..\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\save games\' and copy all the save games you want to keep outside the folder.
• Uninstall Crusader Kings II
  For Steam users: uninstall the game from within steam by right clicking on the game and select "Delete content"
• Go to the folder where you installed Crusader Kings II in, and check if the Crusader Kings II folder is removed. If not, delete the entire folder.
  For Steam users: Installation folder can be found at: '..\Steam\SteamApps\common\'
• Go to '..\Documents\Paradox Interactive\' and remove the entire Crusader Kings II folder
• Reinstall the game, make sure you install the game outside the 'C:\Program Files\' or 'C:\Program Files (x86)\' folders, as it can cause issues with permissions.

Hi,

I do have a similar issue. First after starting the game the checksum in v1.103 is correctly displayed as WQLL but after playing a single player game and returning to the main menu it changes to VQLL! However I had the same issue with 1.102. When I restard the game the checksum is again correctly displayed until I play the next single player game. I do have the Steam version, no mods installed, already checked the integrity of the game cache, completely reinstalled the game like IcratoX described it but none of this helped.

Regards

hi XiDragon,
thats not a bug - its a feature.
it should prevent multiplayer from using different savegames in the same season.

if you quit the game completly (not only the partie) and start it new from the launcher, the correct checksum should be shown.

Yep mate0815 is correct, the checksum will always change when you have started a game, hence that a new checksum shows up when you go back to the menu. To get the original checksum you've to entirely restart the game.

However from the thread starter I understand that he is getting the wrong checksum even after restarting the game, in that case the first thing you should try is a full clean reinstall.

Good to know. Thanks for your help.
