Problem with fixing black flags on PC (known issue solution doesn't work)

[Mister Rifying]

Hey there

I've lastly downloaded the new patch (v1.11) and as always after updating the game the black flags appeared.
Nothing new to me. But when I tried to fix it by deleting gfx and then edit settings.txt. i recognised there was a problem: settings.txt does not exist anymore?!
what should I do?

Have you run CK2 since updating? Once you open a new game in CK2 it should create a new settings.txt.

Also, something I learned to do: Keep an extra copy of your edited settings.txt so that every update, you can just copy it over. It also is helpful if you ever need to do a clean install - all your settings will be ready to go this way.

Tried by opening a new game - settings.txt. still missing.
how do you exactly mean open a new game?

thanks for the advice!

Settings.txt is not missing, you cannot be looking in the right place. By default it's under MyDocuments CK2 folder.
