IMPORTANT - Patch 1.10 will break Ironman saves - revert patch level to finish them

BjornB · Mar 12, 2015

Hi guys!

Unfortunately it seems that Ironman saves from before won't work in 1.10. So if you have old saves you want to complete before embarking on the search for El Dorado, please revert back to the previous patch (1.9.2) level and complete the games you started.

Your old saves might still work. But we strongly recommend finishing off any old saves in the previous patch level before updating.

You will still be able to get achievements. Our apologies for the inconvenience caused!
Code:
[b]How to select a previous patch level[/b]
1. Right click the game in Steam
2. Select Properties
3. Go to the tab BETAS
4. Select desired patch level in the drop down list
5. Download update
EDIT - Some nifty information on previous patch levels etc: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...atch-levels-of-Europa-Universalis-IV-How-to-s!

Best Regards
Björn

Well, I was on good progress towards the Danelaw/Electable achievement, bad to see I cant complete it with El Dorado. I'll stick to 1.9.2 until done.
Anyway, thanks for telling us in advance, you saved a campaign for me

Just ironman won't work, or do some of the changes cause problems in all saves?

Sukramo · Feb 26, 2015

Good, I was halfway through Switzerlake, and I DONT want to go through that Coalition hell again.

ParadogsGamer · Feb 26, 2015

Good to know. Thanx for the heads up.
Guess I will be spending some days finishing my current achievements.

Issac1709 · Feb 26, 2015

2 questions, will you be able to use el dorado in 1.9.2? 2nd question can you play a bit of 1.10 and then go back to an old campaign and finish off the achievements?

theKLR · Feb 26, 2015

Will it work to make a Ironman save into a normal? And how can that be done in that case?

Zghuk · Feb 26, 2015

what were the settings in steam to deactivate autoupdate? i dont see in the prop/autoupdate window this option?

Steafun · Feb 26, 2015

Thanks for the heads up. Old saves will be missed though.

CNightwing · Feb 26, 2015

So we should revert using the beta system right?

StatikShocker · Feb 26, 2015

The only way to prevent 1.10 coming down when you next play the game is to take Steam offline or don't run it. And both those stop all achievements. So you'll have to let it update to 1.10 then manually roll back to 1.9.2 as described.

Almost invariably there will be some other issues, how serious we simply don't know as yet.

You can't use DLCs released after any patch when playing with that patch. The code to support that DLC is simply non-existent in eu4.exe until it is updated to the version that was released with the DLC.

He explicitly described how to do that in the OP. I'm really not sure how that was unclear?

Targor · Feb 26, 2015

So the Beta-Old Version 1.9 will still allow achievements (the older ones don't iirc)? How long is this gonna be the case?

emux · Feb 26, 2015

This is frustrating for working parents.

Yes, achievements will continue to work. It should work at least until the next patch.

EDIT - Achievements added with 1.10 will of course not be obtainable in 1.9.2. But all that existed before will continue to work

TheDecider · Feb 26, 2015

It's great that you let us know this beforehand and not tomorrow

Otherwise it feels like this:

ASPGolan · Feb 26, 2015

Good "heads up", saw it on facebook, would have missed it on steam and wouldn't have checked the forums until I would have ran into the issue .

Pfew, might have been days before I continued that save game and it would have taken me some time before realising what was going on...

My bad! I was worried there was some other way to use the previous version that might screw me up.

Regular saves should be fine, but as always it's not guaranteed.

Old achievements always work with old betas.
