Sometimes the projected balance isn't equal to the real balance. I've seen +£8000, while in reality I had -£1500, so that could be really different.Why does my debt go right back up immediately after I pay it off?
Example: I have debt of £500 and £1000 cash. So I pay off the entire £500 debt, and the next day I'm in debt again for £350 even though I still have around £500 cash. I've done this 5 times in a row but it keeps happening. So apparently you can never pay off your debt.
It's the 1850s. In the 1830s and 1840s I was able to pay off the debt entirely but then this started happening. I don't even know how the debt appeared in the first place - I had a budget surplus and a large cash reserve.
I just read your infamy question its that little red flag on politics box you should see it right right middle of the box or tab or whatever you want to call it took awhile for myself to find it.
The space bar toggles the game's pause state. Are you accidentally bumping it?I want to pause the game. So I press the pause button. But the game won't stay paused. I press pause, I wait to see the 2 red pause lines appear, so the game is paused. Then I'm looking at something, trying to understand what I'm looking at, and I notice the game isn't paused.
It is variously good, bad, or a mixed bag, depending on the exact circumstances. You get out of it by another GP unsphering you, by becoming a Secondary Power and using the "leave sphere" action (which may result in you being at war with the GP whose sphere you just left), or by becoming a GP yourself.Another question: Is it good or bad when you get sphered by a GP? If it's bad, how do you get out of it?

Weird. I've never seen this happen. (The auto-pause that occurs when an Event dialog pops up ends as soon as you make a choice, but I've never had a manually-selected pause end without further manual interaction.) If you register your game and post in the Victoria 2 tech support forum, you may be able to get more useful and focused help.No, I'm not inadvertently touching the space bar. I'll pause the game, go do something else, and come back to see the game running. Yes, I double and triple checked to make sure it was paused. I have never seen this in any other game. It seems to happen mostly when there's military action including revolts. I pause the game to figure out what to do, then I notice the game isn't paused any more. This phenomenon isn't limited to when there's military action occurring but that's when it usually happens. It's not me doing something to unpause it. It's a problem in the game.
Nope.Ok, I don't want to fight a GP but I'm suspicious that it's not a good idea to be sphered. Is there a way to get them to unsphere me before I become a Secondary Power?
They're not doing it voluntarily. They're doing it because the factories are running out of money and you either turned off subsidies to those factories or have a government with Laissez-Faire industrial policy (which prohibits subsidies).By lowering relations or something? I can't get into the Secondary rank and stay there because my troops keep rebelling and the Capitalists are completely retarded, they're shutting down factories that were making £40 - £60 a day.

Out of interest, which country are you playing and which GP did you get sphered by?
Not sure if that's wad. However for me the game unpauses everytime I open the detail view of military combat. Maybe, that's the problem here.Weird. I've never seen this happen.

I'm Chile and the USA sphered me. I would have been approaching GP status by now except for those factories disappearing and half my armies rebelling because they're Jacobins and Anarcho-Liberals. I build armies to get my MP up but they rebel and get destroyed. The Capitalists build factories and immediately destroy them.
They destroyed the factories the day the Liberal Party got elected. I was subsidizing some of the factories but not all of them - it didn't make any difference, they destroyed both subsidized and non-subsidized factories. One of them was making £40 - £60 a day without subsidies so it was clearly profitable. Now they have no money (surprise!), can't earn more (because they don't own any factories - they should have thought of that before destroying them all) and all the craftsmen and clerks disappeared around the same time. Capitalists with money still exist in only one state, and they keep building new factories there but since there aren't enough craftsmen and clerks to fill them, they get destroyed after a day or two. Which is completely retarded. I don't even know if I want to finish this game without installing some patches - hopefully they address these issues.
Being sphered can cause this. USA is using you to dump some of their products, so your pops buy some stuff from their factories instead of yours. If you can't subsidize your factories, this can lead to many bankruptcies.
USA is especially bad to be sphered by, it's highly industrialized and not so populous so it produces much more than its population needs and any country they sphere get's drowned in their products. Being sphered by UK can actually be beneficial at times - you become a part of their common market, get access to tons of resources you wouldn't normally be able to get your hands on and there's a huge population to buy your goods.

Ah, yes. First rule of Paradox games: Always check if there's a patch before starting to playThat + the out of control rebellions got me to upgrade to 1.4, (I had version 1.0)
Theres a bug that can make taking a look at a battle cause an unpause.
