Top bar alerts problem

[Jannik18]

Hello there, I have the following problem: On the top bar, where normal alerts and notifications appear, you normally get diplomacy messages. Like if your liege wants to give you a seat on the council or somebody is inviting you to a plot. When they arrive, there is this specific sound, like someone is walking.
My problem now is: I hear the sound, but the message doesn't appear. I play on speed 3 so I think there is enough time for me to answer the request.
Can anybody help me or was this problem reported before?

Assuming you simply deactivated the alerts, then look at the right of your game window.
There is a box with information (armies, demesne, etc), called the outliner, which has a configuration button.
To quote the Wiki:

In order to restore disabled or dismissed alerts:
Open the outliner category configuration

1. Check the box Disabled alerts
2. In the outliner, click on the alerts that need to be restored

After you clicked the disabled alert it will pop up again at the top, if the reason for the alert is still true.

Nope there is nothing there. Also I think this is the wrong messages. For example your liege wants you on the council, you get a little circle with his portrait in it below all other alerts. And exactly this is sometimes missing, even though I can hear the sounds.
So sadly it doesn't work. But thank you anyways

Has this always been the case ever since you've had the game? Or only since what change or update?


Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.


If that doesn't help, Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.

Well, after a short time for reinstalling, it worked
I now get every message and everthing is working fine again. Thank you
