What has happened to puppet cities?

[Cromagnus]

I've had a slightly different problem, but it only happened once: There was no "View City" option. This happened exactly once during my first game after the patch, and luckily I was intending on puppeting it no matter what. But it was a bit weird. I think it might have been when an AI offered me two cities for a peace treaty. It was a bit disconcerting though. I worry that it might happen again at a critical moment when I need to choose between razing it or not razing it.

Thanks for everyone's input on this. The issue is caused by certain keyboard shortcuts being used for UI. The work-around for the time being is to not use F-key shortcuts, and use the mouse to open pop-up UI (like victory overview, religion overview, demographics, etc.). Once the glitch starts occurring, it can stop all pop-ups from appearing.

not sure if this helps, but it happens regardless. I just tried a few sessions where I used the mouse instead of F-keys but I still walked into captured cities without the option to puppet

These bugs are especially frustrating for me: I have just started playing at the King level, and the unhappiness from un-puppeted cities is killing me.

I was playing a co-op (2 players, 2 AI, no teams) multiplayer game last night and got the pop-up for every city I captured.

EDIT: So this was already mentioned earlier in the thread, wooops, my bad.

There's also a thread about the bug in the Confirmed Bugs section here on CFC:

FWIW, reloading from the latest autosave and not using any F-key shortcuts "fixed" it for me.
