Error loading Flags [Patch 2.2.1]

[YentlBrandt]

Ever since the last patch this afternoon the game has refused to load further than the 'loading flags' bit. It crashes every time when it gets to that point.

I've tried removing the flag folders in both the documents folder and the steamapps folder but neither have worked.

The game worked perfectly earlier today, before the patch.

Delete the whole flag folder, and keep loading only way to pass it.

So the flag folder, not the files inside it, sooner or later it will get passed it.

Don't delete the flags in the steam folder, just the flags in the GFX document folder.
It will probaly crash 2-4 times before rebuilding.

Anyway reported this issue a while back before switching back to 2.20

Guess they say beta tester are no good, they don't take beta testing serious

There landed titles are mess up, so anything added to there landed titles, was so easy to cause flags to crash

I deleted the folder. I also deleted the one in the Steam folder (accidentally)

In total I've tried it around 8 times or so. Nothing fixed it.

Don't delete the one in steam folder, (if you did do a verify games cache to reaquire those missing files)
just the gfx one in documents folder.
Infact before you start up another game. Delete it again.
If am correct you get a big fat windows warning some file is still using it.

If so wait a bit delete it, and reload. If you have modded landtitles_files.
Make sure the modded extra are added at the end not someplace in between (them editing that file already made it unstable )

Please try a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local content" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete all files and folders left under Steam/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.

This fixed it. The Steam Verify is important, it didn't work without it, but as soon as I ran it, it stopped giving the error.

Hope Paradox will take this into their next bug-fixes!
