Hello all!

As we are busy working on the 1.33 update and going through the feedback we've received so far we'll not be posting any development diary today.

You can check out 1.33 for yourself by right clicking EU4 in Steam -> Properties -> Betas and pick 1.33 in the dropdown menu there.

Origins is included in the subscription - and as pointed out above: You being on 1.31.4 seems to be the issue (1.32 is needed to start Origins). Make sure that you haven't manually opted in to the 1.31.4 version (EU4 -> Properties -> Betas -> Make sure you have 'none' in the dropdown list, in Steam).

If that's not the problem you can try verifying the integrity of your game files (same steps as above, but 'Local Files' and 'verify...' instead of 'Betas').

If the problem persists - please submit a ticket through support.paradoxplaza.com for further assistance.

Hello folks, Gnivom here.

Today I’ll talk about some of the many AI updates coming in the next patch, 1.33. At the end I’ll also mention some minor but impactful changes to the rules of land combat.

Our last major update, we shipped some AI improvements[forum.paradoxplaza.com], but a few new issues slipped through as well. Two of those in particular (advisors and forts) were too complex to make it into any of the hotfixes. For 1.33, we have not only addressed those issues, but done a range of further AI fixes/improvements as well. Because of the large number of changes, some new AI issues will probably slip through this time as well. Our goal is to have a public beta for 1.33, which could help a lot with early feedback and tim... Read more

One of the highlights of the year for the Europa Universalis IV team returns soon, with the Grandest Virtual Party taking place on 11-12 December. 21 teams of three, including an official Paradox team, go head to head in a multiplayer extravaganza that emphasizes role-playing as much as it does game skill.

Check out all special offers on Steam for Europa Universalis IV for this event!

You can follow along with the event and cheer on your favorite council of conquerors by watching the stream live on https://www.twitch.tv/p... Read more

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 bug report forum[forum.paradoxplaza.com] or submit a support ticket[support.paradoxplaza.com]. Than... Read more

Sorry to hear about these issues.

Try restarting steam properly (go to the menu and exit)

Than maybe try a full reinstall of the game and submit a ticket through support.paradoxplaza.com if the problem persists.

Welcome aboard! Glad to see you discovered our little game :)

I'm a bit biased - but I think the subscription service is probably a good idea. I'd also suggest checking out some of all the let's plays and tutorials that you can find on YouTube. I know that we are a bit lacking on the tutorial side from Paradox - but we are blessed with an excellent community of people producing helpful material for newcomers.

Custom hotkeys is a long sought after feature - it's not simple to implement however. If it was we would have done it long ago.

Yes, it should be fine

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

This should be fixed in 1.32.2 I believe - stay tuned for more info (We are really trying to get it out within a few days)
