Playing as King of Bulgaria, 1337 scenario.
In the 1380s, I've had two bugs; in the first one, the province's wealth improves message box with the little houses appeared, but it had a title something like "Missing String Needed".
In the second one, I got two messages telling me one of my courtiers had distinguished himself in battle, despite not being at war.

With the missing strings, if you could remember what the event did (effects that is), it would help track it down.

The second one sounds really odd.
 
Frankly, the second one is impossible since the trigger for that event contains the condition "type = combat" which can only return true if the character is in command of a regiment that is currently involved in a combat. I have tested it and the condition is working properly. There are no events that would give you that sort of message or effect other than the ones in the Battle_events.txt file and they are all correctly scripted.

The one you received is most likely this one:
Code:
character_event = {
	id = 7059
	picture = "event_battle"

	trigger = {
		condition = { type = combat }
	}

	mean_time_to_happen = {
		days = 300
	}

	action_a = {
		effect = { type = create_courtier value = marshal }
	}
}

As to the first bug, we'd need to know the effects to track it down. I haven't seen a USW in a long time so I wonder if you have the files correctly installed or if perhaps you're playing with a very old patch? Is this happening to you with the current May 13th beta or with the official 1.04a?

Nope, the exe file is dated 13th May and a lot of event files have mid-May dates, too, so everything seems to have copied across okay. I don't know what the event was meant to be, except it had the picture of cottages at night, which I presume is the event_town picture. I should have read the little button at the bottom, but the whole thing threw me a little.
 
Too bad.

I guess I'll try having a look through the event files to see how many events use that picture. If there aren't too many of them then I could then do a one-by-one match to try to find an event that has faulty or missing text.

*shudders at the potential time required to actually do that*
