Hello, I've been having a problem with my dynasty coat of arms. I decided to start a new game using ruler designer as a norse pagan. I created my coat of arms and played the game for some time without any problems. Then, the next day, I load my game to find that my CoA has changed. I found out that every time I loaded the savegame I had a different, seemingly random, CoA.
When I had quit the game, the day before, my CoA was completely fine. I tend to save the game a lot so I decided to try and load older saves to see if they had the same problem. I discovered that the "random CoA" thing only started to happen after I reformed the Norse religion and became Fylkir.
I tried re installing the game but it didn't work. The only changes I've made when I started the game were that I added more people to my dynasty(so I wouldn't feel lonely, lol) through the savegames file. I did this kind of thing before and had no problems.
So, in a effort to solve the problem on my own I went through the save files to check my dynasty CoA. My dynasty had nothing changed, except for the decadence value that was something other than zero. So I figured that changing the dynasty's religion to "norse_pagan_reformed" instead of just "norse_pagan" would solve the problem, but it didn't. I also tried changing the data of the coat of arms to something else but the CoA kept changing, no matter what I did.
So I am here asking for a solution to this really annoying problem. Keep in mind that my dynasty itself is fine. The dynasty tree looks fine and there seems to be no problem anywhere else, just the CoA. Oh, and another thing I noticed, when I load the save file with the random CoA and keep playing for a while the coat of arms changes again to some other random coat and then it seems that the coat doesn't change anymore.
Thanks for taking the time to read and trying to help me.
EDIT:
Just found this save repair tool right here in the forums. Tried it and it worked! Turns out there is a issue when changing religion as a norse pagan that will cause this problem. All is fine now and it even corrected some other issues! Sorry about creating this thread without looking at that tool first.
Anyway, thanks!
