I started to play from 1444 Ironman mode with a certain country.
It saves the game each month regularly to the steam cloud.
But when I coming load to continue my game, I don't see the Ironman icon in the save slot.
And it shows me "Ironman: NO" when moving the mouse on it. When looking at options the Ironman checkbox is checked.

Can you explain why does this happen and how to solve this?

Yes, that is the same behaviour that I am currently experiencing :mad: . Started an ironman game as Sweden yesterday, even got three achievements in the course of the session. Monthly autosaves etc. all seemed do work properly. At the end of the session I clicked "Exit Game", and I closed the Steam window afterwards.

Today the save game is available in the cloud, but with "Ironman = No" option. This has just been reproduced with a new Ironman game, which after exiting (at the beginning of the month, right after the autosaving) was also only available with "Ironman = No" option, although this time the Steam client has been open all the time.

The EU4 game version is 1.3.1.

Am I doing something wrong? :(

Having the exact same issue, I would just like to know if achievements can still be earned even though it says the game is not ironman anymore.
Would be quite upset to play so many years towards a specific objective if it didn't work.

The game IS still Ironman, and you still can get achievements in it.

So far I have played 4 games of EU4. Two normal games which I have played to completion and two Ironman games both of which seem to have become corrupt.

In both cases I had an initial crash.
In one I go to the last auto-save position and reload(still ironman) but it just crashes again shortly after.

The other no longer appears Ironman but crashes shortly after again. After loading I fought a navel battle which said I sunk over 1000 ships!!! Shortly after this the game crashed and I gave up.

I'm going to tag onto this thread as I've been having similar issues to this one and the other "ironman" issue threads on here. I'm guessing it is some kind of caching issue or corruption during a session of play. What I've noticed is that every time I open EU again to play, I'm unable to open my current "ironman" game. The "Play" button is not functional and says "EU must be validated on Steam" or something like that.

Furthermore, I'm unable to adjust game options from the load screen whether I want to play a new game in "ironman" or not. No button's are functional, even the one's that woul d not be functional if "ironman" mode was on. I can create a game though but I did not check if it was automatically ironman or not.

So what I think is that something in the cache is corrupted or not reset between sessions and the game is still locked into ironman mode, even though you cannot actually load your current ironman game or create a new one.

Anyway, I go back out and use the "Verify integrity of game cache" and then it works fine. Ofc, that is a pain. I hope this can be fixed in the next patch or ideally with a hotfix.

Not sure if posting here is the same as reporting a bug
