As Chalderan said, RICE update to 1.18 is still being worked on, including the RICE+EPE compatch, as I've been busy in November IRL. There is a WIP RICE beta for the adventurous who are willing to risk the issues (see the GitHub link for more info), but it currently doesn't include any updated stuff for the RICE+EPE compatch since the new version of EPE just came out.

Also RICE hasn't been updated yet

@El Boomer CFP and EPE aren't compatible with each other by default without a patch, and the patch hasn't been updated yet.

I love this mod so much. Could the you update it to version 1.8?

@El Boomer: I don't know what Special World is, but have you tried running with *only* RICE, EPE, and the RICE+EPE compatch to see if those work in isolation, without the other mods?

game crashes to desktop before loading to menus. when using this mod along with these guys: RICE, special world, CFP, EPE. This mod was last in the load order. Any clues? Much appreciated!

@Bipedleek If that isn't a load order or mod compatibility issue (though check to make sure you're not running any mods, not even minor cosmetic mods), then it might be due to the mods not installing properly - so you would have to do the old trick of unsubscribing to the mods, waiting until they uninstall, and then resubscribing and reinstalling, and doing that multiple times until something works. I believe this issue is sometimes caused by stuff being not up to date. Also, make sure you have DLCs that are recommended for EPE.

Characters spawning with just nightgown, mostly English, Scots, and Norman characters from what I can tell. Even when running only this, Rice, and epe with the correct load order.

@live laugh die: No prob!

Yeah i figured the problem wasn't this mod but the mod More Cultural Names conflicting with EPE. Sorry bout that

@live laugh die: As Finarfin mentioned, this is likely a mod conflict or improper load order. Try testing *only* RICE, EPE, and the RICE+EPE compatch in that order and no other mods, not even "minor" cosmetic mods, and seeing if that fixes things.

It means you have a mod conflict.

Baltic and Russian characters spawning with nightgowns in stead of their normal clothing

This problem was related to the More Bookmarks+ mod. When playing from the 13th century.

@Andi As Finarfin that seems to be a mod conflict or load order issue. Try running with *only* RICE, EPE, and the RICE+EPE compatch in that order and no other mods, not even "minor" cosmetic mods, and seeing if that fixes things.

That means you have a mod conflict.

Anybody got the same problem all of the northern characters spawns with that sick/ill clothing

@Tak I haven't had any issue on my end. Try verifying game files and unsubscribing and resubscribing (multiple times if necessary) to any mods that aren't working.

latest upgdate breaks almost all mods

Oh my. Somehow I missed that.

@Finarfin EPE has already been updated for a few days now I think

We are still waiting for a new EPE from that team, though, right?

@Merlin No prob!

thx for update :)

Update to Khans of the Steppe and the Manichean Flavor Pack is out everyone! Thanks all for your patience and understanding.

Remember you may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe for mods to update properly (multiple times if necessary). Please start a new game with this version of RICE, as it comes after a major vanilla patch.

@Swordsman Chinchilla: If you're using the WIP version, just be aware I would not advise using it with a serious long-term playthrough, once the official update comes out (hopefully early next week) I would recommend a completely new game to avoid issues to be safe :)

WIP version here we go, thanks for sharing!

@Allen Thank for the kind words! I don't have any donation thingymajig and haven't really felt the need for anything like that. Your support and kind words are more than enough for me :)

Is there a way to donate to you?

I looked at your website, Discord, and GitHub. None of them asks for donations or anything. So I appreciate you even more but wanted to show mine as well.

Also, thanks for the work that you do! :)

RICE update will hopefully be out within a week or so, but I don't know how far the EPE guys are along, as Finarfin says even if RICE updated right now this compatch would be useless without the corresponding EPE update too.

Both RICE and EPE themselves have to be updated first, guy.

update pretty please with a cherry on top

@Swordsman Chinchilla: That sounds like either a load order issue, mod compatibility issue (especially if you're using a lot of mods) where some mod is overriding another mod's changes for that region, or Steam Workshop/Paradox Launcher did not correctly update one or more of your mods (very common issue, especially with big graphics mods like CFP/EPE for some reason, usual fix is to unsubscribe, wait until the mod is fully uninstalled, then resubscribe, possibly multiple times until it works).

In every new game I start everyone in the Kingdom of Ireland is always in nightgows. I've started roleplaying that in-game they have no sense of fashion and that IRL the irish like to ♥♥♥♥ with me

@Годрик Сторукий: Thank you for the suggestion, I'll have to remember recommending that step too in case someone has issues.

Just also quick reminder for those who have some texture glitches - beside unsubscribe/ subscribe , also delete content of your shader cache in Documents - Paradox - ckIII - shadercache

@TheLandTraveller Have you tried testing this with no other mods, not even other "minor" or cosmetic mods, or other compatches, on a completely new save? i.e. run only RICE, CFP, EPE, and their compatches, and no other mods, even small mods you don't think do anything related.

Also, make sure you're using the latest versions of the mods, especially CFP and EPE, Steam sometimes messes up updating those mods for some reason, so make sure you do the old trick to unsubscribe, wait until the mods are uninstalled (it may take a while), and then reinstall.

If issues still persist after all that, try running with only RICE, CFP, and EPE by themselves each to see if the issues persist to see if it's one of them. If not, try only RICE+CFP, CFP+EPE, and RICE+EPE with their respective compatches, and seeing if that's an issue.

Oh, also, do be aware that EPE requires various DLCs (see their steam page for more info), so if you're missing some you may run into issues.

Hello, I'm running RICE, CFP and EPE altogether with the compatibility patches in the correct order as shown in the photo here. But I still get naked characters in Persia and Steppe regions. Like all the characters of this culture here are naked. I can't seem to fix this issue and like I said I'm running the patches in the correct load order too. I really need some help here with this issue.

@Годрик Сторукий: Good to hear! Usually that trick fixes 99% of mod updating issues from my experience, not just for CK3 but a lot of PI games when using Steam workshop/Paradox Launcher lol.

@cybrxkhan , unsub/resub helped . I hope one day we will receive proper workshop updater. Thx

@Годрик Сторукий Have you tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, and making sure you're running only RICE, EPE, and the RICE+EPE compatch and no other mods (not even minor or cosmetic mods)? It might be that the updates didn't update properly, since Steam workshop/Paradox launcher can be wonky like that sometimes.

Eyepatch issue exists even on fresh save with latest updates :(

Eyepatch might be due to the mods updating to the new 1.15 patch, especially if you were playing on an older version of the mod. Check to see if the issue still persists with a fresh new save, with the latest updated versions of the mods.

the source is EPE it seems

so going back on that, it was back in minutes. i disabled it and the red clothes are still there so might beyond the compatch. if i fiqure it out il post it on here

I see a lot of people with eye patches, as well, but as soon as I click on them the patch disappears.

soooooo, half the world had eye patches, and the shaders on some clothes were bright red with pixels. I managed to fix it buy moving one mod around. dont kmow if was that or rebooting the game thatf fixed. very wierd

@Minipx No prob, thanks for heads up. Guessing it has to do something with the new patch.

Nevermind, shortly after my previous comment, I saw a few eye-patches. :(

@cybrxkhan The save I showed on the screenshots was from a save that started previous to 1.15. I used a ton of mods, but in therms of custom clothing and accessories only EPE, RICE and CFP.
I just started (5 mins ago, so 1.15) a really quick save in Bohemia 1066 to verify, and he still got the crown of Vladimir when I made him king. I don't see any eye-patches though.
