1.8.1 Beta Hotfix update #3 - checksum 9ed6

But you have to have the ability to reset the focus as well, and that's currently done by clicking the active focus. Of course, it should probably have a confirmation window, considering how the choice can't be undone for 25 years.

You're not selecting diplo focus, you're unselecting it. If you look at the NF buttons at game start, the diplo one has a checkmark on it. The tooltip should also tell you that you've currently set your focus on diplo and pressing the button will remove your focus.

Oooh, thaaat green checkmark. Thank you for explaining. Makes sense, sorta, when it is explained. A confirmation window would be nice. Must not push button to keep diplo score, that feels kind of counter intuitive.

Edit: Although it may be better to leave the green checkmark and starting bonus out for the user altogether. As the functionality of the different buttons implies a choice. If it is something that is for the A.I. then only have it for the A.I. It may help keep it simple. If the player is given the choice anyway, I would opt to avoid such confusion altogether, and keep the button simple (on/ off functionality like the other buttons in the game). Another possible solution could be to color code the (border of the) buttons for the national focus: e.g. green (choice can be made), orange (changable choice), and red (set choice). And keep that design flow consistent within the game so as not to confuse the user, and keep the learning curve lower than if similar buttons do all kinds of different things (possibly alienating the user and/ or making the game harder to learn).

There is a know issue with 32 bits. If thats your case I would play with 1.7.3 instead of 1.8.x until a fix

Sorry, can you please tell me how I can play on 1.7.3? I cannot find this option in steam, in game - nowhere. Is there any trick how to do it? Thank you

Right-click game in steam, go to properties, go to beta tab, select 1.73 from dropdown menu.

Whenever I select the beta for EU4, the game still goes to the old version of the beta hotfix. Now I can't play with my friends because it says they have a different version of the game! How should I fix this?

Are you sure he have the correct beta? Check if you have the same checksum.

FWIW 1.8.1 seems to have fixed the stuttering I was experincing. Thanks Wiz!

1.8.1 Beta Hotfix update #3 - checksum 9ed6:

I have believe the LA limit was delete when i conquer provinces from the CN (New Holland). But the LA info say this is a colony and make a rollback to 50%. Is this a bug or a feature?

Crash to desktop when load a savegame in a running game is back.

KI stand with a 18 stack a full war in a ownerless province Bayougoula and don't attack my empty neighbor province Chitimacha. He never move. Self as i conquer his homeland. Ok was not the warleader was his CN. But I believe that the KI have probs with alle the new provinces.

It's a feature. Colonial nations don't produce non-colony provinces, they just get to ignore the LA floor that everyone else faces on same-continent/connected colonized provinces.

Good to know. Now i need a new native strategy. Other point: As Huron first target was conquer Potawatomi (later Ottawa too).The enemy culture was full acceptet with creating core. 70 years later or so the culture was no more accepted. Don't know was it a event or my empire now to big. The prob is i can't convert this red culture. First 1599 as i have annex the 6 provinces of Ojibwisch with the same culture i can convert now all.

For the official patch I´d really like to see some very needed AI improvements. Above all the AI being more careful with DOWing people with higher military tech and where a land route of military access will be impossible. Considering the naval invasion AI is weak, don´t make a country with 20k troops attack one with 15k but with too many allies. Any invasion will be slaughtered.

Also, waaaaaay too many instances of frozen AI that require restarting the save, why people don´t complain about this is beyond me.

Tried the patch, still getting this crash.

Suggestions are welcome...

Have more as one time restart autosaves. The war goes over 10 years but the stack never move. Must i be the save before he freeze?

When you do a clean re-install you are not using beta anymore UNLESS you choose to again in Steam. Are you using beta?
