Clear or unsubscribe from any other submods. Make sure your data folder is free of old pack remnants, verify your game and grab the latest updates from the forum. Feel free to reach me in case you can't make it work.

Well I already told Dresden on the steam forum that none of the mods are activated
( except those for DeI), the game loads, custom battles are accessible but it crashes when trying to start a campaign.

OK Apparently it works with the latest part 1 from here not from steam BUT after having loaded the game there are textures missing.

Are you sure this isn't caused by the 37 mod limit?

[Fluke]

I've read a lack of parts 9 and 10 on Steam can cause this lack of textures. Try downloading the standalone non-Steam part 2. I bet it will fix this. I've never used the Steam version of DEI and have never had a problem with any DEI version not working.

Just use 2 parts of DeI from here (plus beta compatibility patch) and you will be good to go. It even works better than Steam version.

I would strongly advise you to do that.

Glad to hear that.

Had a bug when starting a new Seleucid campaign using the steam version of the mod, with the steam compatibility patch, that caused Anitochus II to appear under "Other Nobles" rather than as the son of Antiochus I. Also, Seleucus II is a son of Antiochus I at the start year in vanilla now, but isn't at game start in DeI.

Thanks for all the hard work, and getting a quick fix up so soon!

you guys need to edit family member's name and assignment. like antiochos II is son of Antiochos I and Antiochos's dead father was seleucus I nikator.

and you'll edit script that berenice forced wed to antiochos ii not adopt.

anyway thanks for ur hard work!

We're aware of the family tree issues. Thanks for your reports.

Anyone else noticed enemy agents being "Assassinated" but they're just still alive for some reason? It's happened to me twice already.

[♔Greek Strategos♔]

I just saw another post about agents. Make sure to report your issues in the appropriate thread though, so we could easily spot them.

Well yeah it's a bug, but I figured it's probably caused by the beta not the mod, so I posted it here.

And I just now "Assassinated" the same guy again and he's still alive so that's pretty weird.

Reminds me of the story about the five chinese brothers.

Folks, can you confirm if you are seeing only three trait trees for agents? I thought there were four under DeI.
I only have DeI and Softcore mod at the moment. Loaded save file from recently started campaign.

Link 1 and Link 2.

[Benjin]

The fourth trait slot is for marriage, and campaign agents (e.g. spies, dignitaries, champions) can't marry.

[F@32]

So, the plot thickens! Successful diplomatic mission can result in a faction gifting you a settlement! I'd suspect the rate of such occurrence depends on the campaign difficulty setting.

Link to a screenshot. I'm playing as Baktria and have just gotten Kath as a gift.

Thats from the vanilla patch in December

Excellent! What was the mechanics to initiate the action that could result in this outcome? I didn't notice a button for this.

P.S. So far so good: no crashes in my campaign. Appreciate the quick hot fix, Sir!

Update July 14
Things I think I have fixed but need testing:
- Agent actions should now work properly and have the correct effects.
- General abilities in battles now unlock from skills and traits. Basic abilities will unlock for all generals from the start through political ranks. Other abilities will be available through skills.
- Added a note to the Change Capital button that it will also open the game's encyclopedia page. For now its something we have to live with.
