[2.0] Faction Creation tooltips not working

Many of the tooltips in faction creation are not working (a tooltip shows, but is devoid of any description).

The following traits have no description show up in their mouseover tooltips:

Archers
Assassin's Tools
Binding
Cult of a Hundred Eyes
Enchanters
Axe Mastery (also oddly shows up out of alphabetical order)
Great Hammers
Light Plate
Masterwork Chainmail
Wanderlust

I've made a work around for those and many other missing <Provides> entries from CoreAbilities.xml.

I just finished remaking this file, testing so far is good, some improvements could be done (The Decalon doesn't even mention the books.)

Free for the comunnity to use/modify as long as it's credited to me.

I don't know how I missed there was already a fix... </Reinvent.wheel>

What is the fix, aside from your file modifications? I can't find one anywhere.

Hi jstein4716,

There was a link to it in another reply, I believe it was on nexusmods. I'll look for a link or update mine and post it.

Note: my code above was both meant to be it's own file in the mod directory, and it's beta as I haven't gotten any feedback (logical since it was a duplicate solution.)

The mod isn´t in the mod list anymore and probably I screwed up (lack of experience) but haven´t got your fix to work.

I will get this fixed in the next patch. Thanks for the heads up.

Successfully updated karma reason!

hello? I am in 2017, and this bug isn't fixed. Please fix this bug or refund my game.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Yeah, this is extremely frustrating. Half the time I start up an old game I can't just play it, I first have to research how to fix it myself. I don't even know how mods work for this so I have to figure that out first.

Successfully updated karma reason!

February 2018 and it is still not fixed. Come on guys! Isn't this supposed to be like a simple fix?

Successfully updated karma reason!

I never found the link. I don't know how this would prevent old games from loading.
