When the event of splitting lands between Ernst and Animosus comes about I chose to be Animosus and the everything gets completely screwed up. There is some sort of Skull that shows up on the top of the screen, I cant read any of the numbers on the top of the screen either. Its very strange. Is it because Im saxony and Im changeing to Meiflen (I forget how to spell it). I would go into detail but I forget them. If I choose the other option everything is fine but I dont really wont to. If anybody knows what Im talking about please help.

Thanks
 
My brother had the same problem. IIRC it is caused by switching tag but getting your old tag 'back in action' before reloading. The only way to play with the other is to save the game and load it as them. :(
 
That's kind of a serious problem isn't it? Perhaps we can delay the use of the old tag or avoid tag switching all together. To me this is something that needs to be fixed.

Lofman how do you do this. Im not all that familiar with computers or with dealing with this game. :confused:

Thanks bro

After you've chosen the option that doesn't cause trouble in that event, save. Then when you are to reload the game right-click on the shield and select the other country. :)

We'll probably have to avoid the tag switching altogether. Its the same problem I had when I first devised my Morocco-Fez sequence.
 
I'd like to look into this and fix the problem, but don't have an appropriate save at hand right now and don't feel like playing through to 1485. Lofman or Shamrod, can you mail a savegame made shortly before the event to me (Twoflower1@gmx.de)? I think I already have an idea how it could be done and still allow to choose between playing on as Saxony or Meißen (fixing it would be easier if this possibility was not included, yet this would be a pity imo).
 
Sorry to say, but I'm afraid this is not a general problem. Having run a Saxony game until 1485, I managed to pick both options without crashing and everything worked as intended. Hence, I really need a save of somebody who crashed after the event to find out which specific problem may have caused this.
 
Hey Twoflower, I just independently stumbled upon 'the skull' playing with the WotR. I thought Garbon was joking around when he said it was an actual warning on the ECW thread. I was curious though and ran a search for 'skull', lol!

And here I am...

I know exactly how to get mine though. What do you want me to do? play until a crash? Would you want my savegame file right after the skull comes to be? Can I help on this?

and yes, I agree this is a shitty ass problem that should be fixed! I basically get the problem re-creating the old tag I just switched from.

ENG-> ROY ->setting ENG free as vassals ->skull of impending dooooom.
