COAT OF ARMS BUG SINCE PATCH 3.0

[Gabriel G.N]

I'm seeing some empty (black) or other empty color of coat of arms in some counties ,dynasty ,and holdings ,since the 3.0 holy fury update.I've tried to reinstall the game and remove the gfx file and entire documents folder as well, i also checked the integrity files from steam. I will post here some pictures from the issue that i'm having.

Obs: I do not own the holy fury expansion yet , i only received the new patch. No mods are installed , fresh install.

From FAQ:

If you get black flags or shields:
Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II. In there, delete the folder called "gfx". Note that this is NOT the /gfx/ folder under Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 .
Now restart your game, it will recreate that folder and fix the problem.

You also need to add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list/whitelist of your antivirus app.

I do not use antivirus, I have friends who are having the same problem, and I see some youtubers with the same problem too, it's something with the game, as long as they do not solve this I'll have to leave the game and come back when fixed. Very disappointed with this patch. I did every fix , i tried even a restoration/rollback of my windows image and didn't solved , i tried to change my gpu drivers as well .

While i don't know what the first two pictures and the fourth one are supposed to show, that seems to be the same issue with only a few black holding shields here
and there others have experienced as well and the issue appears to be by now an acknowledged and internally fixed bug :

Hi Aardvark , if you pay more attention to the details on my pictures you can see ! The first two pictures it's the empty red color bug in the county coat of arms , and the fourth one it's the character dynasty coat of arms empty black bug . For some reason my pictures got duplicated. Sorry for my english , my native lang it's portuguese. And thanks for the link , hope that they fix this in the next update. And wtf is PDXCON dlc ?

It's the same for me with the same counties and dynasties

If you refer with the "empty red.." to the COA of Marsan, that's working as designed.
That county COA looked like this before.

The first, second and fourth are the same pictures, just like the third and the fifth.
The first two and number four

have no "character dynasty coat of arms empty black bug"


The last two pictures are indeed likely the problem or rather the effect of the bug mentioned in the linked thread

And thanks for the link , hope that they fix this in the next update. And wtf is PDXCON dlc ?

I found the answer in another thread on the same issue and edited my post there.

Oh i paid attention.
No worries.

My second post refered to "..and the fourth one it's the character dynasty coat of arms empty black bug", while that was the third and fifth picture,
which you had obviously just confused yourself, which i couldn't know.

Anyway, apparently the bug is fixed and in the next patch, so all is good.
Cheers

PS: When i start the game, Count Adalbert of La Marche (at that date) has a dynasty COA.
I have all four Dynasty shield DLCs though, ..but by the looks i think that's random too. Hmm...
Anyway, please take pictures in game, as can be different from what's shown in game to the character selection menu.
