Mercenary captains disappearing.

[pplr]

Hello, noticed a few bugs & this is the first.

If I have mercenaries fighting for me in war and I save the game (in a non-hardcore game) the mercenary captain & officers all disappear and it is like the mercenary troops are now leaderless. If I attach my own army to the mercenary army this matters less because my nobles & leaders can take over but I've found this is a repeatable bug that occurs whenever I save a game and then restart later from that save.

I'm using the Mac version of the game with the latest update (patch 2.1.4 is what the game lists as the latest version).

I'm also using the old gods, Sunset Invasion, & Republic DLCs along with the Mongol face pack, Dynasty Coat of arms 1, and songs of Albion, Faith, & Holy Land.

I desired I add a screenshot but the mercenary army (even if just hired) just turns leaderless when a saved game is started.

No new Bogomil Court Chaplains? Mac

Have a Bogomil dynasty and it seems I cannot appoint a court Chaplain. If I click on the "appoint" button (as works for any of the other councilors) then none of my vassals and none of the characters from my court appear. This continues to occur even if I make sure I have other Bogomils that I should be able to appoint.

I can appoint people to temples if it is under my direct control (recently seized). And the Bogomil function of being able to appoint women priests works then (I can appoint a woman to run a temple but not a city under Agnatic-Cognatic Gravelkind succession.

NOTE: It appears the same thing is happening for Nestorians. The Patriarch appears for them but you cannot appoint a new court chaplain as a Nestorian. I'm not sure but I think at least 1 of the Nestorian bishops (they are in Western Europe so far away from typical lands but still.. ) should be showing up as an Autochepalous Patriarch (on the same display as the Patriarch) and none (from any location) are.

2.1.4 is not remotely the latest version, it's 2.3 . In Steam right-click on CK2 and choose Properties.Click on the betas tab and choose "Opt out of all betas". It should then update to 2.3; if it was already set to that then choose the Verify from the Local Files tab.

Thanks for the reply. I don't use steam (at least not yet). When I start up Crusader Kings 2 there are 3 tabs on the lower right I can click. Check for update (which I did and was told my game was up to date), Register (already done as I can post here), and Start CKII (to play the game).

If the game is not updating like it should how do I fix that without steam?

Whoever you bought CK2 from should be offering you a Steam key. CK2 has been Steam only for many months now. No updates are available for the non Steam version.

The only non-Steam version was GamersGate and that stopped at 2.0.2, see here

If you really have 2.1.4 you DO have the Steam version, and all you need to do to update it is run Steam in online mode, and perhaps run a Verify against the game in Steam.

Thanks for the info. Went to the Steam powered website. Downloaded the steam installer and.. it froze on me after I clicked on create new account. Deleted steam from applications folder & downloaded again.. still stuck.

Thanks for the suggestion seem like I have to email someone new now.

 

[AndrewT]

Can you clearly state please whether you initially installed the game via Steam, or GamersGate, or what?

 

[pplr]

Sure, gamersgate.

OK then, you cannot have version 2.1.4 . Version 2.0.2 was the last GG version ever, there will be no more patches for it. The only way forward is to switch to the Steam version; you'd want to finish your current games first though, as games started under 2.0.x won't be playable under 2.3 I'm sure.

Err WHAT??! You're correct in that I have 2.0.2 (I checked-the game told me the latest patch was 2.1.4 when i first started it up and if I clicked on check for updates it then said I was up to date so I figured it was telling me the latest and that I was using it..) Anyway, whenever I've patched a CK2 game it was still able to play-it may have looked a bit different (in one game a bunch of shields for vassals & dynasties changed)-but it would still work.

Is there a specific reason a 2.0.2 save won't work with a 2.3 update?

Too many changes in game mechanics, the map, and so on. I'm not saying it will necessarily absolutely fail to run at all, but there will be all sorts of weird stuff happen, I'm sure.
