Ironman Mod disabled (turned off) for Ironman Mod Savefile

[Emperor Marcus]

I fond this by accident. During my byzantium Ironman mode campaign I tried to reload the auto-save (battle was going poorly but was very very close better rolls could have landed me a victory instead of defeat), instead of loading up a cloud save game i mistakenly loaded up my regular save games. Realzing my mistake i then loaded my ironman mode file to find out ironman mode was disabled in the save file. Considering i loaded late into the year i didnt realize this until after the yearly auto-save kicked in and overwritten my game basically erasing all hopes to continue that campaign in ironman mode.

Now excuse me while I mope and start up a brand new ironman mode Byzantium campaign.

Restarting the game does that have any effect. Also if you look at the savegame, does it have the ironman icon next to it (the iron gauntlet)?

restarting the game? and no there is no iron man gauntlet there.

I just repeated it with a brand new ironman mode ottoman game. got into the Ottoman game by loading it up, then immediantly after loaded a non-ironman mode game. Looking at the cloud ironman mode ottoman game and there is no Guantlet on the side of it. Seems i was wrong about it needing the yearly auto-save to overwrite. All it just needs you to load a non-ironman mode game while in a ironman mode game to turn ironman mode off in the ironman mode auto-save file.

Hmm that's interesting.

Could you post the logs of the game please?

• Go to '..\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\'.
• Open settings.txt, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]
  [/NOPARSE] tags.
• Go to '..\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\logs\'.
• Open errors.log, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]
  [/NOPARSE] tags.
• Open system.log, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]
  [/NOPARSE] tags.
• Open setup.log, search for the line with "checksum", copy and paste this entire line into your next reply.

You can copy the line below and paste the text between the yellow tags.

I dunno if this will be helpful. Overwrite the old byzantium save with my new campaign and been a day or two but here it is. I hope it is.
