108 & 246) BUG: Some message boxes settings have no effect...

[FrEDa]

Marriage proposal offer don't want to pause

I can't seem to get the Pause function to trigger when I get a marriage proposal. I know from previous Pdox games that sometimes the re-setting doesn't work, i.e. you might have to go Options->Message Settings and try a couple of times before it's registered. This time however, I've done that.. and the message setting says it should pause (did the old set-to-not-pause, then set-to-pause thing as well).. but it doesn't.

Anyone else? WAD?

Anybody else who's seen this problem?

I've had the exact same problem.

Message boxes do not appear during game

I think that it's pretty important to see what's going on around my duchy, especially when other leaders die, inheritance, and so on. I've set the message box under the option screen to display a message box during gameplay whenever (for example) another ruler dies. Yet no box shows and no message even appears in the scrolling window at the bottom of the screen. What gives?! I've played several other Paradox games and they all function the same, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the message boxes to appear. I'm using the english version patched with 1.02. Thanks for the assistance!

I'm seeing (or rather, not seeing!!) the same thing.

I'm missing that too. It's rather annoying when you suddenly realize that an important vassal has died and somebody you don't know has inherited - several years ago! Perhaps this thread belongs in the bug-forum?

You may well be right. There seems to be other features missing in the message department, like the little message notifiers.

Can someone at the company answer this...can this thread be moved into the bug forum? Thanks

Hi

You need to click on the menu button on the lower left side of the screen.

Then click on options. In the options window there is a button for message settings. In the message settings window you can set the notifications up for various game events.

 

[Grosshaus]

Are you missing them altogether or just missing some certain kind of messages? If the latter, then you should perhaps turn to the new features thread.

 

[unmerged(3516)]

I have tried changing the settings for the messages to "appear and pause" and they still do not come up. It appears that it's usually the first five to ten message settings (IMO the most important ones) that do not work, the others seem to.

I checked by setting the message pop ups to appear whenever anyone got pregnant (Europe was quite fertile in those days!), and quickly turned it off due to the annoyance factor.

Done.

As much as to investigate it than to test my new super-powers...

Might as well add a specific bug about the message windows... the message when someone is offering a marriage, even if you set it to pop-up & pause it doesn't actually pause the game.

Yes, I know that, and I have set them up to show the messages as dialog boxes with pause on, but no such messages ever appear for deaths outside of my court. Similarly, I am never notified of marriages outside of my court, although I have set the message settings in such a way that a dialog box should appear.

 

[kurtbrian]

so do we all agree that you somehow can't get the game to display a message when another ruler dies?

That's certainly what's happening to me. Likewise for marriages outside my court.

 

[unmerged(3516)]

Yes, I can't tell when another ruler dies in or out of my realm, or inherits a realm.

I'm having this same problem 6 months later. Has it been fixed yet?
