Summary​

Byzantium - branching mission selection UI is not present

Description​

I realised (quite a few hours after they were supposed to unlock) that the branching missions were not working. I understand there should be some UI elements at the top right of the mission tree which allow selection of the branches, but they do not appear.

I have seen this raised by others, both here and elsewhere - it seems that some people have had issues spotting the UI elements, and some issues with mods causing them not to appear. However, I have checked the screenshots attached in https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...system-mission-bugging.1607941/#post-29245415 and there is a clear difference between the UI shown there and on my save.

I do not have any mods enabled, and just in case I have unsubscribed and uninstalled all mods and restarted. No luck.

Steps to reproduce​

Other than play as Byzantium, I am not sure. It's several hours since I unlocked the relevant mission. I don't *think* the branches appeared and then vanished - at least, I never noticed them.

Hello there! Thank you for the report. I can see the issue after loading your save, but we cannot reproduce it from new game. Could you provide more information and if possible a way to reproduce the issue?

As I said - I didn't notice it initially, and it's hours ago since I should have unlocked it. I found other people with the same issue online, but I'm not sure what I did that was unusual. This is my first full playthrough of the Byzantines on the new patch.

The present is a design choice and not a bug. Issue was probably caused by hotfix that has been implemented yesterday. Everything should work fine on new playthrough now. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask about it on the main forum for the game.

The branch selection buttons did not appear at any time, both before and after the hotfix.

Please record this as a bug, as it is clearly not intended behaviour.

I had a look at the save. The branch previews were unlocked before the 1.36.1 patch on the ingame date 1510.4.7. Since the patch changed how the preview works, they need to be activated again. Since your save is not ironman, you can do that with the following console commands:

set_country_flag has_batch_1_active
set_country_flag can_choose_BYZ_1_branching_missions

If the buttons still don't appear, there is probably an issue with your UI files
