[0.981][Bug] Headless Sovereigns (again)

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. =)

This is exactly the problem I reported. The problem lies in having tooo many units in the fallen-enchantress folder in your documents.

Basically if you delete a sovereign from the main screen the file is not deleted. If you clean this folder up, it should resolve the problem for you. But it makes it a little annoying if you have too many units there.

Hmm, I tried deleting the all units except for the two sovereigns, one in my last save game and the one I wanted to play, and a custom unit in my saved game. Loaded the save game, go to the main menu, start a new game, both are headless. I don't think it's entirely on the units folder.

Funny I saw this too, with only 1 custom sovereign and 3-4 custom units in my file...
I only saw it with my custom sovereign though.

Gotta pay attention to these things obviously :)

I think if you quit a game after just losing a battle you can get headless custom sovs.
