I just tried to open one of my ironman saves, but found ironman mode disabled.

I then verified game cache, to no avail.

Active DLCs: 100 Years War Unit Pack, Conquest of Constantinople Music Pack, Horseman of the Crescent Unit Pack, Purple Phoenix, Star and Crescent (basically the pre-order pack)

Did not buy CoP, so it is not used.

How can I make ironman mode work again?

Yep Ran into this problem myself just now. Additionally none of my previous Ironman saves are showing up in the cloud box, even though I can see them in my userdata/########/######/remote/savegames portion of my library files.

I also ran in to this problem today. Re downloaded and verified in Steam. I also deleted the remaining files before re downloading. I own CoP as well.

OK, I guess I can just merge my thread about Ironsaves lost--not showing up completely-- into this one. And, yes, I see my Ironman Moscovy file in the savegames part of my Steam files.


I will just put my post from that thread into here.

Ironman Save disappeared



This has happened to me twice:

Start as Moscovy, ironman mode. That is the only country I have played. No mods. No DLCs

At some point, I have played enough for the day, hit "Esc" and save--even though the game should be auto-saved in the Cloud.

Come back a few hours later, or the next day, and there is --no-- save in the cloud. Completely blank. (Nothing, of course, in "local" either.)

The first time, I ignored it and started over--I had a better starting plan which I wanted to do anyway.

But this second time, I really liked my start, and am unhappy to lose the save. Maybe I will just stay off of Ironman, but I like the excitement of not having lots of old saves (more important to me than the Achievements)--teaches discipline when making choices.

[Note, it is not that I have never been able to do an Ironman save. I have had previous Ironman games that I had deleted. It only recently seems to be a problem--again, no save seen at all]

I have put in a ticket with Steam, but maybe I am overlooking something obvious.

(As to the advice to move all my wanted saves to someplace--from other games on Steam?--delete Steam, and do a fresh install. That is above my technical expertise. I will just drop Ironman rather than, likely, causing an even larger mess for myself) [Edit: And, now I see that someone else has tried that, and it did not work]

The OPs' problem appears to be that one particular save game is no longer Ironman. He does not mention losing his Cloud saves. For that issue, I don't really know; we've had a problem like that in CK2 for some time; if Steam drops out while playing a game it switches to non-Ironman without telling you. But I've not heard of that with EU4. I'm not aware of any way of converting a non-Ironman game to Ironman, sorry.

Everyone else is saying their cloud games are simply missing. I've just checked mine and they are definitely there.

Those of you who have not checked the local copy of cloud saves, please do so as in post #3 - are they there? If so, check in Steam that "cloud saves" are still enabled since the recent Steam update. Them exit Steam, and confirm that the Steam client ports are open. Then start Steam up again - it ought to sync files in that /remote/savegames/ folder up to the cloud.

Checked the client ports, after looking at the issue seemed to resolve itself. Before looking at the ports the cloud saves refused to show up. Hopefully that works for everyone.

Ok, maybe we are getting somewhere.

I have, as I have noted, checked the local copy as in post 3. It is there.

1. How do I check in Steam that "cloud saves are still enabled"? [Yes, the save is just missing.]

[I don't even understand, even clicking on the link, what it means that the Steam client ports are open. Since I am on a home computer, and have been using games on Steam regularly, I am hoping that is not an issue]

Edit: I got on steam and found the link where one can save on the cloud. They are checked yes. And, by the way, in my new campaign, Hansa, non-Ironman, in addition to being saved locally, it does appear to save on the "Cloud".

If you have a firewall on your PC or in your router, it may block certain ports including those Steam uses. Not likely since it used to work for you, but worth checking.

There are numerous sites out there that check for you whether ports you think are open are really open. I'd use at least 3 different sites, as they're not 100% reliable.

I got mine to work... In options in the title screen, there is an option to Autosave yearly to the cloud. It wasn't checked, for some reason. I checked that box, and now it is in Ironman mode. Hopefully this helps for the others, though I now feel silly.

What version and checksum show on the main game menu?

Have you been able to use Ironman before OK?

Check that Steam is in online mode, and that Steam Cloud Saves are enabled.

It stopped working again. Did everything as above, and also checked my silly problem. Still nothing.

I have the same issue as of today - "Ironman mode needs EU4 to be unmodified and validated." Which it is. A clean reinstall and validation didn't change anything.

EU4 v.1.5.1.0 (0ef1)

I have the same issue as of today - "Ironman mode needs EU4 to be unmodified and validated." Which it is. A clean reinstall and validation didn't change anything.

EU4 v.1.5.1.0 (0ef1)

I also have the same issue which I first encountered yesterday. Ironman mode was disabled. I could not start any new Ironman game nor load any Ironman save. The Ironman checkbox and the Play button were greyed out with "Ironman mode needs EU4 to be unmodified and validated." It did not seem to be a steam cloud problem since I could still see my games saved to steam cloud. I have no mods installed and have all the current DLCs up to CoP.

Initially I did a clean reinstall and that solved it for me. However, when I loaded up the game today, the issue came up again. Really don't understand why this happened, as I had no problems playing a few days ago.

According to my observations is due to the fact that you restart the Steam client. This problem occurs because of some incompatibility with the client Steam, but is usually solved by restarting the client.

PS
The last few days already 3 times appears "Ironman mode needs EU4 to be unmodified and validated"
The Steam client wasn't restarted in my case.
