It's just the default settings not to bring one up when you start a battle. You should get one when a battle ends, though.
I don't get a pop up for when a battle ends.
That's... not supposed to happen.
I know. It works perfectly in EU3, but in Vicky II, it doesn't (maybe it's because I'm more of an EU3 veteran, but overall, I see much more lag in Vicky II than EU3). Is there any solution anyone has?
As you get an icon in the bottom right by default when you start a battle, you can click on the icon, then right-click on the popup it produces to set the game to produce a popup every time you start a battle. (bypassing the Message Settings)
I try that, but it doesn't work. When a battle ends, there isn't even an icon, and it isn't in the log, either.
