Greetings all!

Today we released a patch to address some issues that has been brought to our attention since the initial release of the 1.34 Sweden Update.

As usual - we strongly recommend that you finish off any ongoing saves you have in 1.33.x before updating your game. You can read how to revert your game version here! In our tests 1.34.2 saves are working, but this can never be guaranteed!

PDXCON is just around the corner, and thus the Grand Campaign is upon us again!

The Grand Campaign is a mega campaign over 4 weeks where we each week play in a new game. Last week it started with CK3, this week we'll continue in EU4, next week HoI4 and finally it all ends in Stellaris the week after.

Hello!

Today we released a small hotfix for Europa Universalis IV addressing a few crash issues as well as some Out of Sync problems in multiplayer games.

According to all our testing, save files from 1.33.2 should be compatible, but it's never a guarantee. You can read how to revert your game version here!

As always, please report any issues in our ... Read more

Sorry about the missing 1.32.2 version! We're getting that sorted asap!  

Greetings everyone!

The time has finally come to release 1.33 to the world. This is the exact same build that's been up on the open beta for the last couple of weeks, and the version that's going live is 1.33.2 following the feedback we've received during the testing phase.

As always, please report any issues in our ... Read more

grotaclas said: Does this change the technical basis of the subscription and will a game update be required to handle this? Previously it was only available on windows, but the steam store seems to indicate that it also works on macOS and Linux now.

It should work with all Steam platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac). There's a patch coming tomorrow which will improve compatibility.  

Greetings all!

Europa Universalis IV subscription service is undergoing some minor changes. Where you were previously required to start up the game to access the subscription service, you can now buy it directly through Steam in the same manner you purchase any other content for the game.

Beware that Steam will not be able to detect if you already have an active subscription started before March 1st 2022 - existing subscribers from before March 1st 2022 need to ensure that their current subscription has expired before signing up on Steam!

All current subscriptions started before March 1st 2022 will automatically expire once the current period runs out - all automatic payments and renewals are disabled.

If you are an existing subscriber - please allow for your current subscription to expire, then go to Steam and start your new subscription.

The subscription service in itself has not change... Read more

Mindel said: Are there any more patches planned before 1.33 in Q1?

As of now I'm actually not sure. We'll see what the needs are like in a few days I suppose.  

Greetings!

Following almost a week of public testing we are now releasing 1.32.2 for everyone!

You can read what the patch contain below. You may also find some updates to how the subscription service behaves in-game. We are continuing experimentation with the subscription to improve the experience for both old and new players, meaning some of you might see some changes over the coming months - for example, we have removed the widget for all players that already own all the DLC

As always, please report any issues in our ... Read more

bokorthedust said: Is the update compatible with 1.32.1 saves? I don't really see anything that wouldn't be, but better be safe than sorry

Yes, it should be fine  

Greetings!

We are currently working on the 1.32.2 patch and we'd like to invite you all to help us test it before releasing it. This patch is targeting the crash occurring with games using Random New World. Unfortunately despite our best attempts - saves loaded in 1.32.1 and crashing will be corrupted and not possible to retrieve. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Please note that beta patches are only available through Steam.

How to opt-in to 1.32.2:
1. Right click Europa Universalis IV in Steam and go to Properties
2. Go to the BETAS menu and pick 1.32.2-Beta in the dropdown list
3. Close the window and let the game update in Steam

Please report any problems with 1.32.2 in the ... Read more

Greetings everyone!

Europa Universalis IV: 1.32.1 Songhai is now live for everyone on Steam, Microsoft and Epic. This hotfix fixes the issues with Aggressive Expansion penalties from Personal Unions, a recurring crash issue affecting some people at certain dates, a problem with the effect of Army Tradition to Development Cost, and a few other issues.

This is the exact same patch that has been available as an opt-in beta patch on Steam since Friday. You should be able to continue save games from both 1.32 and the 1.32.0.1_beta after updating to 1.32.1.

As always, please report any issues in our ... Read more

//EDIT// PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BETA PATCH IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR STEAM USERS - UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T MAKE IT AVAILABLE ON MICROSOFT OR EPIC - OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES ABOUT THAT //

Greetings everyone!

Yesterday we released 1.32 Songhai for each and everyone. Unfortunately the update contained a fix for Aggressive Expansion from Personal Unions which previously was too low - but with the fix it got too high. This issue has been fixed in this 1.32.1 patch - along with a number of other things like a bug where people without Conquest of Paradise saw an unnatural increase in development cost from Army Tradition. You can read the full patchnotes below.

1.32.1 is not yet ready for full release as it requires more testing - but we wanted to give you a possibility to play EU4 1.32 Songhai without the above glaring issues over the weekend so we'll release it now as an opt-in beta patch.
