This was already reported Objects renamed with "Object Name ID" will show their INTERNAL NAME after loading a saved game

@Felizon89

Funnily enough, I don’t experience the Object Name ID bug on my game, but the Change Icon ID is bugged.

Upon loading a saved game in which icons have been assigned a new string through the Change Icon ID effect (Modify Attribute), then the game reads the original string, and the icon appearing is the regular one.

I guess all effects using ID to identify a string and read it are bugged to some capacity upon loading a saved game.

EDIT: So in my game, the names appear correctly because the strings the effect are supposed to read are custom ones. But if you use IDs linked to strings already existing in the game, then the names are bugged in my game too.

Conclusion: It means that all effects using ID to identify a string are currently bugged upon loading saved games, if these strings are already existing in the game. The fact that custom strings work 100% should pretty much allow you to identify the origin of the bug I think.
