Hey there.

For my first game I decided to start as the Duchy of Munster. Later on in the game I granted my Heir the County of Ormond, making him the Lord Mayor (That County has a City as primary holding). At that time my succession law was Agnatic-Cognatic Primogeniture. When my ruler died he inherited the Duchy of Munster and Counties of Dublin and Desmond. However my succession law also changed from Agnatic-Cognatic Primogeniture to Agnatic Open Elective(Which is the succession law of Cities). Which now meant anyone could inherit, and my ruler died before I could change my laws, and some random Courtier inherited it.

As to how to reproduce the bug, find a county with a City as primary holding (not sure if this bug works with Temple holdings as well) and grant it to your heir as his only title. Wait for him to succeed you and that should do it.

Yes I do, and I was able to reproduce the bug myself on this one (Don't worry, its saved maybe few months before my ruler dies!)

I failed to locate where my saves are stored though, so I'd be gratefull if someone could point me in the right direction :rolleyes:

Try looking in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\save games
 
Thank you! That was the last place I would have looked :D

I tried compressing the file (its 25 MB) but the lowest I can get is 2,3 MB. The forums wont let me upload anything bigger then 0,9 MB though. I used WinRAR to compress it.

Almost there... just 1 more hurdle!.. :unsure:

I would have suggested Megaupload but since that has been taken down, try to use Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/

No problem, happy to help. :)
 
Just want to second this. Had this bug aswell. I gave my heir a city and when he eventually inherited my kingdom of sweden and finland the inheritance-laws changed to open elective.

Edited, wrote barony when I meant city ;)

I've got it to. I was Duchy of Munster, gave my son the title of Lord Mayor of a county I took. When he inherited, all the titles under him (I'd gotten another duchy or two by then) went from primogeniture to open elective. What's more, all the titles I took as him after also became open elective.

Even stranger, he was named 'Doge' when he inheritted, and some random courtier was his heir. The guy wasn't of my dynasty (nor were any of the pretenders), but it acted like he was. It wasn't giving me the warning like the game would end or I'd lose titles.

The only thing that fixed it was creating the King of Ireland title, which set everything back to gavelkind. I only barely accomplished that before the guy died.

If you need another save, I'd be happy to help. I think I still have a save from before my ruler died. I definitely have a bunch from when it was all open elective.

I described it in more depth in the post I made here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?586300-Open-Elective-!

I noticed this too, when trying out the HRE, the other titles seem to be set to the HRE laws. Or does the game remember the original ducal and dynastic laws, when the imperial crown is lost? For instance I started a game as king of the Romans Rudolf of Habsburg initially before the conflict with king Ottokar of Bohemia, BTW shouldn't the HRE have claims on the duchies Austria (& Styria) and Carinthia and on the counties Österreich, Steiermark, Kärnten, Krain (Carniola) and Znojmo to recreate this struggle.

I then restarted at the point where Albrecht of Habsburg is duke of Austria (& Styria) with the inheritance law agnatic primogeniture, after he succeeded Rudolf the inheritance law of Austria seems to have been changed to the succession law of the HRE agnatic elective. Now I wonder whether this would change back if the crown of the HRE is lost again.
 
Same problem. I gave my heir a city and then a church. Then when he inherited it changed to open elective from primogeniture. It might have affected the laws of the kingdom as well, it put them back to medium. (But they could've been downgraded also).

This isn't the same thing.

It is a succession change upon inheriting though and IMO posted it here seemed better than to just open yet another thread.

This is the bug report forum. If you have a bug (which I'm not sure yours is, but I digress) you start a thread for it, or put it in the thread describing that exact bug. That way it's seen by the devs so it can be addressed. Burying it in some other bug's thread isn't the best way to get it noticed.
