"Exclaves use region names" how to disable it

[seaxon]

So I'm playing on Ironman and when I was setting my game up, I set this setting to "no". But when the colonial period came I started seeing "Spanish Louisiana, French Antilles etc." I thought I had disabled it. Is it because of the ironman ? Please help me with this, thanks in advance.

From what I understand of your situation, you probably correctly disabled exclaves, which are if the same country has a group of provinces in another location than its main location (for example, the infamous "Portuguese Siberia"). However, you seem to be talking about colonial nations, which are new countries taking the name of their original country and slapping next to it the name of the colonial region they were found in.

Since those countries need a name, I doubt you can deactivate the option to see those information. However, regarding your own country, you might have the option to rename them (I think it takes an expansion to do that).

The regions are still named even if a colonial nation has not formed. The name will still exist in colonial nations but be disabled where colonial nations do not form. That would be my guess.

 

[seaxon]

No, that's not just that. For example, I played as the Ottomans, Italy appeared as "Ottoman Italy" rather than just "Ottomans". So I don't think it's about colonial nations.

Is it possible that the options somehow reset?

 

[seaxon]

I'm not sure, I'll try reinstalling the game but I don't think it'll help.

Is it possible that the options somehow reset?

If the game auto-updates, like through a patch or reverting to an older version, any player-made changes that are not in a mod folder will be undone.

Reinstalling didn't work. Please help guys, this really bugs me off.

I think you cannot change anything in an ironman game when it started, not even the cosmetic settings like "exclaves" .

Colonial Nations are not impacted by that mechanic/option and will be named according to region and colonizing nation. Your existing game was probably locked to the option. If it is not fixed in a new game, then report it as a bug.

(You can rename a colonial nation at the point it generates)

 

[seaxon]

It's not just colonial nations. As I've mentioned, it also occurs in Europe like "Ottoman Italy" or "British Egypt". I've reported this as a bug but all Paradox is doing is telling me to ask the forum.

Here are some screenshots.

It's a bug. I think I've seen it reported in the bug forum, but you could report again if you can't find it.

 

[seaxon]

Well actually I reported it

Yeah, this is a known issue - the "Exclaves use Region Names" option does not work, and they will always do so.

Pretty sure you can change dynamic province names, so why wouldn't you be able to change this?

If you don't mind me asking, why does it bother you?


Also, how is there an English Egypt in 1444?

Console, presumably.

Console, presumably.

Why, of course!

So I reckon you're going to fix it ? Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I used the console to show you guys the problem. It bothers me simply because I'm not used to playing the game in that way.
