  • Europa Universalis III Complete
Step one:
After you buy and download it, restart steam
Step two:
Right click EU and:
3270968488_6545354b8e_o.jpg


Once you clicked that, this should popup:
3270968254_cb707f081b.jpg


Your CD Key will be in the black area.

Then your done :D

I hope this was helpful for all of you who use Steam.

(safferli: ) Also check out this great thread for all Steam related questions and answers, on how to play mods, beta patches, etc! http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?511797-EU3-Steam-FAQ-Help

This is for help for people who use steam. I like steams security and no download limit(you could never dl a game for years and you want to play it, no problem) It also comes with a free community messenger, like xfire, but better. :D

Cannot update the game on steam to latest version

Dear Paradox, EU3 developers,

Please inform Valve/Steam that Europa Universalis 3 Complete players on Steam cannot join Multiplayer games via metaservers because our version is older then the latest 3.2 version. . The current Steam version is 3.0, we need our update asap to be able to join the multiplayer metaserver games!! :(

Kaiserjagen, I've just bought EUIII Complete + HTTT : I only see EUIII complete in "my games", and only one CD key (I tried to register it here on Both EUIII and HTTT but only working for the first).

I really have both game installed. 900+ Mo, Version 4.0b (DOXU), and writen HEIR TO THE THRONE in big letters.

What can I do ? :eek:o


Thx

Seriously? If this is the case, you guys may have just pushed me to buy the game. Can a couple people verify this?
Well, It appears that Steam put DRM or other sh*t only when they HAVE to do it (EA, Ubisoft and other people I do not buy games anymore, Bioshock 2, Wings of Prey, etc etc).
As Paradox is very nice with players (and do not consider people that actually bought the game as pirates...), so is Steam.
I have 2+1 computers, there is no problem, I DL it on all of them. If they are connected to the Internet, one steam session is disconnecting an other one (and this is normal, one account is for one person).
You can also copy the Steam / steamapp folder and force a check if you do not want to re-DL all your games.
And if you need to play disconnected, as far as I tried, you have to be connected, and use the disconnected mode (re-start steam). This is the only restriction I noticed.


Just in case anyone hasn't figure this out yet, it seems Steam fixed the issue for accessing HttT CD-keys and it can now be found using the method described in this sticky.
Kaiserjagen, I've just bought EUIII Complete + HTTT : I only see EUIII complete in "my games", and only one CD key (I tried to register it here on Both EUIII and HTTT but only working for the first).
Yes, it works now, i have 2 CD keys.

The same is true of Gamers Gate - you can download the game any number of times and there is no DRM. You also don't get the Steam (or any other) client and all the joys that come with it.

I feel like I am missing something obvious but nevertheless I am having a problem finding my cd key:

I used my a Eu3 complete cd (which I have lost the accompaning key for) and a HTTT online copy from Gamersgate. I have the HTTT cd key but not EU3 one.

The EU3 complete is registered on gamersgate so I have no issues installing both games but I would like access to the tech forums (which isn't accesible with just a registered HTTT key it seems) in order to download the HTTT beta patch. The Eu3 complete key is not on gamersgate.

Any advice?

Much appreciated if you do!

Let me get this straight - you registered your EU3:Complete physical edition on Gamers Gate so as to get access to it as a download, did not also register it here on the forums, then subsequently lost the key?

The only thing I can think of is to email support@paradoxplaza.com and support@gamersgate.com, and see if either can help you.
