Version update and weird changes- De jure county change and vassal contract, tax

[leesh909]

Hello all,

I got the update yesterday and while my latest savegame loaded up well enough, a few...interesting things came up. I would like to confirm if they are bugs, and if so how they could be resolved

The start was the tutorial (Munster, 1066), and the game is currently in the early 1200s I have formed the Empire of Britannia (Alba) and conquered parts of Scandinavia.

Also, I do not use any mods.

1. For some reason, two new counties are suddenly considered de jure for the Petty Kingdom of East Seaxe (which I think is basically Essex- the one with London in it).
I now have Khanjargalant and Qyzylustyurt as the DE JURE counties (NOT duchies) for some reason, and they were also suddenly a part of my realm.
This could not possibly be de jure drift so I am very confused.
Inheritance doesn't make sense either since that explains them being in my realm but not being de jure counties somehow

2. The option to modify vassal contracts are not appearing for many of my vassals. They are my direct vassals and they are definitely feudal (King of Wales, etc )
Perhaps related, but they are apparently not paying me taxes either. The tooltip says tax contribution is 0% but also lists several positive modifiers (e.g. absolute crown authority).
King of Wales also has 76 opinion.
I guess this is a bug from the update? If it is, is there any way to solve it?

Thanks.

Major updates break saves. Revert to 1.15 and a save-game in which you hadn't ever used 1.16 on a game from 1.15 yet

major updates break saves, this isn’t an isolated issue nor a new freak accident

re-roll to 1.15.x and load an old save that hasn’t been in the incompatible version

I see.
I was kind of hoping maybe there was some other way like editing savegames or something, but this sounds like the best way to deal with it.
Thanks.

Just wanted to confirm because most other cases I came across mentioned the game straight up crashing- then again the de jure problem probably should have been a definite sign, I suppose.
Thanks.
