Converter Issues

[Lighthouse418]

I realize about of... jerks are complaining about EU4 even though it has been out for only an hour but I am asking how to use my converter. I preordered and it says on steam I own it but when I launch CK2 it doesn't show up in DLC in the launcher. Plus I have no idea where to go from there. Any help can be appreciated.

Btw xoxo Paradox this game is beautiful.

Well, I'm checking if it's installed anyway…

Yeah, it's installed anyway. *exports Auditore Roman Empire game*

I'm confused too, how am I supposed to convert the saves? I can't see it anywhere...

It's in the escape menu but mine is grayed out. :/

To convert load up the CKII game and the export button is found in the menu.

Mine's not there... Weird, time to validate files.

load your savegame in CK2 as if you were going to continue playing it. press ESC and on that menu there is a convert save button. it will take a few minutes but after its done you will find the files in My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\eu4_export\

copy the mod folder within eu4_export to My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\
now when you launch EU4 your CK2 savegame will be a mod you have to check in the games launcher.

No copy need to be done, the launcher should still find the exported game.

I have the same issue, my export button is grayed out. I verified my copy and it said there are no issues. Thing is when i look in the dlc folder the dlc030 file isnt there, hence the game clearly has not installed the dlc despite steam claiming it is installed.

Question for those who got it working, does it appear in the first window where you can choose what DLC to enable?

Steam says that I already "own this game" when I go to store, also it shows up in a list of DLC content that I have already installed.

But it doesn't give me an option to choose to enable converter DLC.

oh wow thats nice!

I'm using a gamersgate version and I definitely have it installed. When I start the CKII launcher the DLC appears on my checklist. That said when I log into my Roman Empire save and try and export the game the last option on the esc/pause menu is save and quit not export. I have no option to export that I can see.

 

[Lord636]

I'm using steam and there's no option? I validated files and still nothing...

For me the export works, EUIV finds it and shows it in the Mod tab of the Content section, but then how do I play it? I've tried double-clicking on it, right-clicking, screaming at it…

(I'm playing on Linux, if that's relevant).

Oh linux so you don't have a launcher? Go into the launch options in steam and add: -mod=mod/<modfile name>.mod
That should launch it. (Without the <> of course)

I'm having the same problem. The Mod tab shows my exported save game file as "inactive" so I can't play it. How do I make it "active"?
I'm playing on OS X btw.

Hello, I am experiencing similar problems as all of you and I thought I'd post some pictures for reference...

I added my CKII mods directory, see if you can find anything that is missing

That worked, thanks! The converted countries appear as "Z00", "Z01", etc, though, instead of Aquitaine…

Also, does this mean that Linux (and Mac) users won't get a launcher? Will we have to manually select the mods in the Steam properties every time we want to import a CK2 save?

 

[Lord636]

I don't even see the EU4 export button. Current DLCs I own are Legacy of Rome, Sword of Islam, The Republic and Ruler Designer... And of course the EU4 converter. Was it some hidden requirement to have Old Gods DLC?

If someone else's having the same problem, it's due to an enconding problem:

Just resave all files in the mod/<your mod>/localisation/ dir with UTF-8 to solve it.
