Me and some other players have reported this:
These "---" nations pop up every now and then, I've seen some of them turn into vassals of their former ruler. It's quite strange.
If you switch to Debug Mode and try to look for their tag they don't have any (but have ID). In its place is written "---" which I suppose is the game's way of saying NONE, and as far as I know that's the same "tag" given by the game to Unpassable or Uncolonized terrain . Definitely not a simple localization issue, these are emergent countries somehow not getting a tag.

I had the same problem. Then I updated to Windows 8.1 and now it works. You need d3dcompiler_47.dll (a component of DirectX)to play the game. My windows 8 did not have that file, so I updated to win 8.1 to get it automatically (updating to win 8.1 also updates directx related files). So either try to update to 8.1, or download that file and put it to necessary folders. It worked for me. I hope it works for other win8 guys, who couldnt launch the game yet
For me, the game freezes after only a few minutes of actions, but the buttons still make noises when clicked or hovered over. Alt tabbing and waiting don't seem to fix the issue. Very bizarre...
For some reason the declare war button is missing in the diplomacy screen for just (afaik) this one faction.
yesterday i plaied for 3 hours without problem, today play button in launched pad, doesn't works because i've error message " game executable is invalid"
someone has same issue?

Game was running low on high graphics, so I figured I might try switching them to low. As soon as I did, the game froze, and eventually crashed. Now, every time I load a save file or a new game, it freezes as soon as I click anything. Alt+tab also causes freeze+eventual crash.
I had played for about an hour before this.

My game has no audio at all. When I open the audio tab in the options menu, it's just a blank page. I've tries re installing the game and validating the game cache, but nothing works. Is anyone else having this issue?

I just wish to say, Imperator Rome is a great concept.. I love how my Spartans look, and am eager to found Akkadia on equal rights [first thing I always do! some of those women are great senateheads!] then "visit" spanish Iberia.. probabs Emporion first.
This aside, until I can get past November 16 freeze issue, right now, maybe going back to my eu iv as Aragon where most of NAfrica is my Algeirian slave state and things are happening is just a better thing to do. Yesterday I had virtually 0 progress due to always having to reload.. at least though, there is the fact, I now know my opening moves in IR when it is ready.
On to Aragon, Algeirs, Naples, Castille, and Navarra unity! Convert those muslims, and make preSpaniola great again! (Come on Portugal, I don't want war, we are allied and married, so join me haha)
To the playerbase, politely, lets not wordshame these devs who have provided us options until these issues get sorted. You know you're playing another paradox game meanwhile, no reason to be as nasty as some comments were. Humanity people, please! Thank you.

Thank you for the Spanish section close up, it helps me plan my future Spartan invasion so much better! Once this becomes playable for me lol.Quite a few text kerning/spacing issues on Linux here. Can't tell if it's the string you're rendering, or the way the text is being presented that's the issue. One example attached, in the meta-text on the tooltip where "character's" appears as "character' s" - other than that, the game' s excellent.
the link for reporting stutter lag is broken:
"The game is "stuttering" heavily when unpaused
Please help us out by posting your CPU and GPU specs in this thread. Also tell us if you are playing on ironman or not."

Theres a fix for the november thing btw, in the main menu go onto the console and type TH then press tab and input 4, found this on a steam thread.
Had been looking for this and I'm happy you helped point me toward the file location. The illustrations in this game are simply gorgeous. It's a great deluxe edition bonus to be able to pore over it all in one art book.
in the main menu press the key left of 1 and type th then press tab and type 4
This thread is meant to be presenting both problems and solutions, right? Here is an Issue I ran across and a fix for it:
Issue:
"out of synch / desynch in Multiplayer."
... often combined with the error that it would be caused by looking at the diplomacy screen. But occuring at seemingly random times and without even touching mouse/keyboard at all.
Fix:
Synchronising your Game-Language across all players in that match.
We had 3 players playing in German, and I was playing with the game set to English, so whenever I hosted the game, the others would simultaneously crash to the main menu, and whenever one of them hosted, I regularly crashed out. After I set my Game to German as well, the test run went smoothly without incident.

So there's a bit of a glitch/oversight regarding barbarians.
When a barbarian group has taken a fort that neighbors my territory, it keeps auto-sieging my cities and there's nothing I can do about it. I can't go into my neighbor's territory and liberate the fort, so I just have to keep military units parked there until my incompetent neighbor deals with the barbarians. Either it shouldn't siege my cities or I should be able to go clear out the barbarians keeping the fort.
Reported this on reddit but was told to post it here as well.

I thank you for this advice, will try it when I get home tonight! At work now.
After tapping 4, close console and carry on as usual?

Unfortunately not, I'm already on Win8.1 and tried the .dll manual fix, yet it doesn't work along with all the other checks and fixes proposed thus far. At this point I'm more or less just waiting on a update to the game fixing my problem as nothing else but the game itself seems to be causing it.I had the same problem.
