Austria for some reason is stuck in GP for me

[DaHealZ]

So i was playing as NGF and for some reason even if the austrians are at 9th power they dont get out of gp in this war even if it says that they will get out of gp in 19/10/1849 they still are gp in 1850 is there a way to fix this?

I believe you can't lose GP status if you're at war, so you'll have to wait until it finishes.

I don't thin that's true I'm sure I saw someone lose GP status during war but they cant lose it while a crisis is going on.

Savolainen5 is right, the nation falling out of GP status has to be at peace for that transition to happen.

Nope, a common tactic is to occupy all of Austria to make them loose great power and add them as a sphere to annex them when forming Germany.

You can't diplo-annex Austria unless Hungry also exists, its one of the pre-requisites for doing that. Unless you're playing vanilla without the expansions, that might explain your point of view.

EDIT: You might be right in forcing the add sphere factor but again, that sounds like you're using an older version of the game, the latest versions still require a GP to be at peace in order for the drop in status to happen.

Almost right, Austria will join a already formed Germany when Hungary exists but when Austria is in your sphere while forming Germany it will come along

Actually this for 3.04 and here is some of the screen shots I done in a rush test. I started as Prussia in the Civil war start used changeowner PRU ### on on the non Austrian german states and Alase Lorrian, and event 14180 (to get Jingoism as I didn't want to wait for it to raise). Justified the war, declared on Austria with humiliate for quick and low infamy justification. I tagged switch to Austria to delete all his troops and returned back to Prussia/North German Federation, and changecontroller NGF on all Austria provinces. They'll drop in rank and eventually drop to secondary power. When add the war go add to sphere and when the war is done click form Germany and you'll inherit Austria.

here is picture proof.

Who else are allied in a war as well? If Austria is allied in a war with another great power they'll remain a great power until either that second great power peaces out leaving Austria as the only great power. For example if you're fighting both France and Austria, you need to peace out France before Austria is able to drop to secondary power status.

Considering Austria is at war with GB as well, and GB is fighting in France, it seems like France is Austria's ally there.
