1.8.1 Beta Hotfix update #3 - checksum 9ed6

[Rey]

Playing Ironman. I'm getting this error every month and the game does not save.

Playing 1.8.1 Beta Hotfix checksum 6f46, no mods, no expansions. I already rolled back to 1.8, then reinstalled 1.8.1 again. Verified files integrity with Steam.

Anyone also getting this?

I'm still getting the bogus "Your PC is too slow to run the game at this speed" message at speeds 4 and 5, but it seems hugely quicker with this hotfix - thanks!

I'll edit this post if that changes.

Finally I can play 1.8!

I'm getting this error too.

The previous beta almost fixed the problem, now it got worse(more stuttering and random fps drops), however still a lot better than 1.8

I'm getting this error too.

DDRJake is encountering problems. We need another patch STAT!

There seems to be an obscure bug with 1.8.1 patch (checksum 6f46) where you can be playing perfectly fine for ages then the audio garbles for a few seconds and the game stops responding and has to be shut down.

I was originally getting this by opening the Papal Controller window when I first updated to 1.8.1 (6f46). Audio would garble intermittently one or two times while opening the Papal Controller window. Assumed it was a corrupt install so did a clean install from scratch.

Played fine for another hour or so then the audio garbles up again and the game crashed with a EU 4 has stopped responding error. It is not clear what caused this audio related crash and it didnt seem to be related to opening the Papal Controller window on this occasion.

No idea what could be causing this .. never experienced it before.

Nice.

Also getting this error.

Re-installing the game again didn't help. Starting a new game did. The problem only seems to affect existing games, and came out of nowhere (I'd been playing fine for more than an hour when it first appeared.)

New games work fine?

New game works fine for me, however old save gives the "... forbidden..." error.

 

[kente]

re-installing eu4 delete the ironmane saves too? or i can re-install without worry about my ironmane saves?

I confirm this. If I start a new one, there's no error.

Cloud saves would, I imagine, be fine, but local Ironman saves would get deleted like normal ones, I'd guess.

mmm, now i have to ask: are there ironman saves which they aren't cloud? i should check if my ironman save are in cloud (how?) before to re-install?

 

[generalolaf]

This has fixed my speed issues. Not getting the ironman error some people are reporting either (game was started on old beta patch).

 

[Knut Skallagrim]

finally an excuse to play some non ironman games... BEST FIX EVER

If you load up EUIV, and then click on "Saved Games", then click on "Cloud" at the bottom, you can see your Ironman games that are stored in the cloud.

Your non-cloud Ironman saves ("local" Ironman saves) are, I believe, just in your normal savegames folder (which is in My Documents -> Paradox Interactive -> EUIV or there or thereabouts).



Just generally, I should note that I'm currently playing a Burgundy -> Netherlands Ironman game that I started in the Day 1 1.8.0 patch, and it's still working absolutely fine now in the latest iteration of this hotfix. Maybe it's because I'm saving locally, rather than on the cloud?
