CK II - CKII - [3.3.3] All reformed pagan god names are not separated in the localization after restarting

[Bombenkrieger]

One line summary of your issue
[3.3.3] Hellenic EDIT: All reformed pagan god names are not separated in the localization after restarting

Game Version
3.3.3

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
1. When playing as Hellenic, I became the Sword of "ZeusPoseidonHadesHeraDemetraAthenaAresHapheaestusAphrediteApolloArtemisHestia"
2. In certain events, the whole text gets mushed together and becomes unreadable because it is overlaid with all the god names
3. Localisation of gods seems to be broken in general.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Quickest way would be:
-Start off as an unreformed religion.
-Reform it
-Save and quit
-Return to your game
-Hover over your deities list and see that the commas and spaces are all removed and it's all mushed together

Version 3.3.4, Here I was hoping that they might actually fix the bug. I didn't play yet to test it, but I am sure they didn't

You are right.

Are there even any workarounds for this?

Don't reform the pagan religions or convert to Christianity/Islam/whatever already organised religion is nearby. Since I couldn't roleplay reformed Hellenism like I wanted to intially, I took full control of Catholicism in my current Roman Empire playthrough.

As in, controlling the Pope, all cardinals, holy orders and having 90% of Christian/Jewish artifacts for massive stat boosts. Being the Pontifex Maximus of reformed Hellenism is no longer a concern or desire if I could still "cheese" my way towards absolute rule via Catholicism.

This will not help Ironman players, but it would seem a Steam Workshop mod fixes this issue.

The name of the mod is "Reformation: God Names fix"
(I hear posting links is not allowed here)

Just did an ironman Zun reformation and found out the hard way that this is STILL a bug. This can't be a hard localisation fix, and it's very noticeable and obstrusive looking, but it hasn't been fixed in two years?

They stopped caring about fixing bugs in CK2 right about when they started working on CK3.

At this point, they really need to just open-source CK2 and let the community fix the leftover bugs.

....and let the community fix the leftover bugs.

The closest to it is the CleanSlate mod project by the CK2plus and co. brigade.
No idea if that specific issue is fixed as well, but would think so.

Was messing around to see what happens when I try x, and it appears that the bug is no longer happening for me, at least in-game. The names are still smooshed together when I use "load game" and examine it at the world summary screen, but when actually in the game they are properly separated and the nickname command doesn't give the overflow result. I didn't really do anything, but I can confirm that both hellenism and suomensko have worked correctly, even with 2 name changing doctrines applied. I have no idea what happened, my best guess is that something in the september 28 update either fixed the bug or allowed the Reformation: God Names Fix mod on steam to work again - can anyone else confirm this, or did I just get extremely lucky?

The problem always occurs after saving and loading.

 

[DMoney1331]

Right - I all the testing was done by reforming, saving, then loading. God names didn't go screwy on most recent tests

Interesting, I'll have to conduct some tests of my own. Thanks!

Edit:
Still breaks every time for me.

 

[DMoney1331]

Huh, odd. Like I said, no idea what if anything changed. I'm still subscribed to a fix mod on steam that stopped working a while ago - maybe something allowed it to start working again? Other than that no ideas. Only other atypical thing I did was add a nickname "sword of god" to my character to see if the name glitch still applied there. Just ran another test letting it run for a bit before a second save - stable names don't seem to wear off. I'll see if I can figure out anything more, but again my best guess is that the mod is working again for some inexplicable reason

The God names fix didn't stop working for me at any moment, when did it stop working for you?

 

[DMoney1331]

Few months ago - hard to pinpoint but I think some time around march. Based on steam comments hit other people too after a paradox update - maybe the new one undid whatever was causing problems with the mod.

 

[Reverend Belial]

Yep, this is happening to me too in my Reformed Zunism game.

I know there's no point in replying to this, but maybe *someone* in Paradox will stumble across this and fix it. It's really really annoying.

 

[GuardianGI]

You can half-fix it by completely removing the god_names and evil_god_names entries from the save file. This will make the religion use the default names, so hellenism will use roman god names and there is no resuffling of gods based on the tenets you took, but atleast you won't have garbled names.

If you want to 100% fix it you have to check the 00_customizable_localisation.txt file (localisation folder) for greek god name entries and then for example replace the GOD_SATURN with GOD_KRONOS in 00_religions.txt file (common folder). You have to do this for every greek god.

 

[GatorByte]

Necroing this because I too have this issue after all these years. I'm linking my negative review in the hopes that Paradox sees it and it draws their attention. Feel free to leave your own reviews.

It's a great game but there is an immersion killing bug that has been present and unfixed for years. Specifically, "All reformed pagan god names are not separated in the localization after restarting" One user reported it like this. 1. When playing as Hellenic, I became the Sword of...

-- edit --
Just did another hellenic reformation and it broke again. I deleted the above, as it was probably not that which fixed it, but maybe the choices I made in the previous reform.
