I know there was already a post about this. But I can't see it on the first page, so I though I re-highlight the problem that seem to have made a even greater appearance with the new patch. With the patch 0.981, it seems like I see the headless sovereign on game creation quite often. I am pretty sure it has something to do with loading a save where sovereign is already wearing armor (suspecting headgear especially). Any time I had loaded a save game, when I start a new game in the same session, BOOM, headless sovereigns all around.
Debug.err file attached.
Cheers.
PS: Loving the game so far, the last few patches have been brutal on solo sovereigns.
