Loyalty is really Buggy!(quick-load?)

[war_blah]

loyalty seems really buggy. It's the year 1370 and i already got 65% of the whole land, fighting with Byzantine is a pain because some how he has 6 generals with command either 8 or 9 and shitload of other command 5-6 generals.(I think strong king give strong heir, since his king is a command 8, i think this need to be addressed because getting free high level general is really no fair)

Ok, back to the issue, i have one level 9 general and all others are level 4-6, have a stack army of 9000 on the east front line(Constantinopl) and about 2000 on the western front line (spain). AI been keep attacking me with stack of 3000-6000 each turn, I could fend them off with my level 9 general but casualty is high because the AI take forever to rout with their level 8 commander. So i decide to make use of my level 7 assassin.

One by one general falls, after after 50 quick-load I finally wiped out all but 1 of their high level generals. Then, problem cames. I failed to kill the last general, but i did a quick save before attempting that, so I quick load the game and click on end turn, now, on my western part of the empire, 50% of them revolt. 2 turns ago i checked their loyalty, all around 150%+(i have about average 150 man in each region). And now suddenly everyone dropped to 46%-95%.

The weird thing is, on the turn which i first try to kill the general, no one revolt after my assassin failed. Right after i quickload and click on end turn again, everyone is revolting. Alot of land in that area i have been controled for over 150 years and the population loyalty is always 200%, they just drop straight down to like 70%. I have church and monstrery in every region too.

I'm sure i saw something like this after i Quick-load the game before, but it's just never as serious as now. Now it just basicly killed my game.

The shift-key thing is.. really buggy, often when you hold shift u saw all green, but some region is actually below 100%. If you manually right click on that region and check loyalty, then hold shift again, it will change to yellow. Ok, now move some troops to that region and hold shift again, it's still yellow, now right click on that region again, hmm, loyalty is about 100% so why it's yellow. Hold shift again, it's back to green again!

I really wish next patch could address this issue, loyalty sudden drop across half of my land(for no reason) is just purely evil. (Quick-load is buggy?)

Try checking the dread on your King. If he's got a really low dread rating, then your provinces are a lot more likely to revolt. I know my biggest troubles with revolts came when I lost my Merciless 7 dread Monarch and he was replaced with a 1 dread Gentile Knight. Things dropped instantly from 200% to as low as 0% in some places and I spent the next 20 years putting down rebellion and excuting prisoners to make the King more scary.

Can some one help me on this one.
What are the quick-load and quick-save keys?
I cannot find them in the manual.
Knowing them might help reduce my "esc" crashes to desktop.

Ctrl+s and Ctrl+l

Well, its entirely possible that the AI is countering your mass assassinations by flooding your provinces with spies. Do you have watchtowers and at least one spy in all of you provinces?

[war_blah]

Yeah, i actually have guard tower(forgot the name, the upgrade of watch tower) on all my regions. Since those region has been conquered long time ago they definely have those.
