Can confirm the same issue with Byzantium branching missions. Disabled all mods, no dice.

Same thing happens when you form Persia as timurids you just get 5 buttons but clicking them dont do anything

 

[Pablo_Warhammer]

Yep, I formed Persia as Timurids. I didnt test as Ajam or Ardabil.

 

[Herbata138]

its funny how i get 5 buttons and you dont have any of them

 

[Pablo_Warhammer]

Yeah, what are those buttons? Any mod or something?

 

[Herbata138]

They show up when you can preview the missions but for some reason timurids have them. The only mods that i'm runing are the graphical improvment for the map, stellaris font and different colored rebels.

 

[Pablo_Warhammer]

I dont even had thos buttons as Timurids or Persia. I have stellaris ui font, banners 5.0, graphical map improvements and ad lucem as mods.

 

[Herbata138]

I just checked same thing happens then i start as Ajam

 

[Herbata138]

Ok i think something is wrong with the stelaris UI font mod. When I turned it off the branching buttons show normally and I can chose the branching missions normally

These are mod issues. Mods like banners 5.0 which have not been updated for 1.36 are missing the buttons completely and mods like "UI a la Artemis" or "Stellaris UI Font" which have not been updated for 1.36.1 are showing 5 buttons which don't work.

 

[grotaclas]

I reported this bug to the authors of the mods "UI a la Artemis" and "Stellaris UI font" and both authors updated their mod 30 minutes after I contacted them. If there are any other affected mods, I suggest that you contact their authors, because they might not have noticed the problem themselves.

There are two separate issues here:

first issue: the branching missions buttons are invisible. This is the main issue and affects but is not the same as...
second issue: some UI plugin shows an un-clickable checkmark box and 5 branches boxes with roman numerals. That's an UI plugin issue.

Everything worked fine with outdated plugins (i.e. last night) until the hotfix patch, so...

This issue is caused by mods which have not even been updated to 1.36.0 or by a corrupted installation which for some reason has an older version of the file.
Maybe there is a mod active which you are not aware of(the launcher activates mods automatically in some circumstances). And have you already tried to verify the integrity of game files? If that doesn't help, you can try a clean reinstall as described in my guide on reddit about common startup problems with version 1.29

No, it didn't. Plugins which had an outdated version of the file interface/countrymissionsview.gui have been missing the buttons since 1.36.0 has been released. The OP is using the mod banners 5.0 and if you look at the comments for the mod in the steam workshop, you can see that people have complained about the missing buttons since shortly after the 1.36.0 release.

Or do you mean that the plugins which have been updated to 1.36.0 have been working till last night? That's of course correct, because they were not outdated yesterday. But they are outdated now and need to be updated so that they can incorporate the changes to the buttons which have been done in 1.36.1.

Hello there! The present is a design choice and not a bug. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask about it on the main forum for the game.

 

[Bibor]

Okay, I deleted everything related to EU4 in the /My documents folder and tested the branching with TEU and BYZ. It did fix the issue for new games, but my existing 1.36 Byz save is now broken. Oh well..

 

[grotaclas]

but my existing 1.36 Byz save is now broken. Oh well..

Broken in which way? Just the message that it is incompatible due to missing mods? That message is harmless if they are just UI mods

So, the problem is the banners 5.0 mod? Stellaris ui font is fine (it says is updated)? And ad lucem and graphical map improvements, though outdated, should not have any issues, right?

banners 5.0 definitely prevents the buttons from showing up. The map mods should have no impact, but I didn't test them. The stellaris UI font is not causing the problem anymore after the update.
But if you finished the mission "Our Religious Direction" before the 1.36.1 hotfix and did not select a mission branch at that time, you won't be able to select the branches on 1.36.1, because the hotfix changed how the branches are handled and your old save won't have the correct flags. If it is not ironman, you can use the following console commands to get the persian branch selection:

set_country_flag has_batch_1_active
set_country_flag can_choose_PER_1_branching_missions
