Biggest flaw of the game

[CurtisManning]

There is absolutely no way to tell what time is it when you play in fullscreen. You can't move your head because you're addicted to what happens in your realm, and so you can't Alt+Tab either because you will lose time playing.

Thanks God you can Shift+Tab when playing on Steam ; still, this is IMHO the biggest flaw of the game (among not every republic playable in the upcoming DLC)

Judging by my nearly 500 hours of CK2 on Steam, I'd say it's working exactly as designed.

? Did you miss the Pause button or spacebar ? (Confused)..or simply put a digital clock next to your screen.
Or is that sort of a praise ? :blink:

Paradox didn't include a clock because they weren't invented in medieval times, silly.

 

[Arko]

Time would be different from a map corner to another. nonsense to have a clock then

For me the "go to start menu" button works just fine.

Also as a Steam user I can just push "-" to see what time it is.

Hah, good one!

Reminds of a loading screen tip in some game, reminding the players to eat and drink.

Baldur's Gate II. "While your characters don't need to eat or drink, remember that you do. We don't want to lose any dedicated players." Or perhaps it was Neverwinter Nights, but I'm pretty sure it was BGII.

I agree. This is a game breaking flaw and a bad move by Paradox. Seriously, this is a clear mark of a, bad programming and b, ahistorical. Because HRE is ahistorical child pagan popes is OP and crown law is ahistorical because SERIOUSLY disappointed. Mongol HRE is doomstack because Wikipedia. Ahistorical theocracy seriously disappointed. Naval combat is WAD however Wikipedia crown authority a bad design flaw seriously bad move Paradox. ERE lack of ahistorical as well as mongol OP faction wars broken revolts. Faction republics as HRE too easy really no doomstack seriously ahsitorical, as well as Cordoba.

Thank goodness for wristwatches!

Apart from Shift+Tab, you could also just turn fullscreen off, too.

Hit's exactly the point!

I was thinking steam or xfire... but xfire only supports the steam version of ck2.

The mentor in Dungeon Keeper 2 would occasionally remind the player to go to bed in a snide tone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGHmr3D4Mnc

I recommend you start playing windowed. There is a config in the User folder of Crusader Kings and you need to change something there. This is how I do it because switching between fullscreen CK2 and desktop was slow on Windows (2 sec. - annoying 2 sec). And the setting is pretty stable too, I don't know why is not in the UI available.

Yes, it was BG2. On loading screens between different areas.

Set your alarm clock to ring after a few hours before you start playing

I don't think it's that big of a problem.... It's still 11:30pm MST right?

Oh dang.... got to go to work. :|
