My Apologies for 1.30.5

[svarthofthi]

Thanks for the quick response!

Yeah the game crashed as soon as I tried to open estates lol. Thank you for the quick reaction, but it does make me concerned about the QA quality.

That is a very biased opinion. It is *your* responsability to disable mods that will conflict with new patch notes ui changes after a (major) patch.

Hello!

We just took the decision to revert back to 1.30.4 for now, as the quality was not what we expected.

We are looking into ways to fix the issues as soon as possible, and will get back to you when we have more news.

Sorry!



//EDIT//
The release of the recent Europa Universalis IV update has clearly been a mistake and has damaged a lot of the faith many of you have. We did not expect that this update would corrupt ironman games or significantly affect multiplayer, and clearly it should have gone through much more testing.

We are reverting the Nakama update, so that going forward people will be playing with the version of Europa Universalis IV that was live before this update, 1.30.4.

We cannot, of course, roll back your saved games if you have already had them corrupted by this update. No reversion can undo problems that have already occurred, but can prevent more people from encountering them.

Before we return to the Nakama update, we intend more extensive testing to better identify any additional problems, and will explore the feasibility of a public beta. We apologize for ruining the Europa Universalis IV experience that so many of you have been having.

I wonder if you guys will be trying to re-implement the other feautures.
There also was a lot of backlash on the forced log in for multiplayer and the impossibility to just use steam as a multiplayer platform.
I get you want crossplay but can this be optional, no-one (well, 99%) of the community uses steam and the ease of use that gives us outdoes most of the cross platform support. I personally don't know a single person (that owns EU4) that does not have it on Steam. So here I am, asking you to please make everything in this update either optional, or, just cancel brining it back all togheter.

I know in the game dev world, testing and bug fixes are an essential part of creating a product.
Did you guys even test this patch? Like, at all?
If people are reporting crashes with actions as simple as opening the estates menu, surely you saw this during bug testing, right?
So does that mean you just ignored it?
Multiplayer has been bugged since 1.29.
It boggles my mind that a game with a team of dozens of members can release a version of the game that literally crashes people’s computers on startup.
Should we start tagging the game on steam as a ‘joke game’?
I guess a bad patch is not the end of the world, but that’s not what people are upset about. What people are upset about is the continued and consistent ignorance to integral game issues, and the lack of visible accountability.
Multiplayer de-syncs every single time you try to host with over 8 people.
Game crashes when you try to access estates.
This feels like the closed beta for a game that hasn’t come out yet. At this point, can you at least give details of the problem so people can fix it themselves?
There is a new reason that people mod the game. It’s not to enhance the experience, it’s to allow the game to run.

I wish that mods would prevent the number bug from happening, or the frequent desyncs and other MP-related issues

shrug, Paradox has quite openly been putting MP rather low at their list of priorities for a while
partly it's understandable... but still kind of sad

 

[Canute VII]

public beta

Good move, countlessly proposed, suggested, asked for... The complexity of EUIV meanwhile demands it IMHO.

 

[CzechKronner]

Nice to see devs own up to their mistakes. Stuff happens.

Well whats being prioritized then? As someone who just lost their ironman world conquest to using the continue game button on load screen I'm a little frustrated. I especially love how I lost it to a patch that was mostly about multiplayer anyway. Then to learn that the patch actually just BROKE multi anyway and they have to revert....

 

[flogi]

Here we go, updating the mod again -_-

 

[Nicolas-]

Thank you for making the right call quickly.

Also whenever you test Nakama more thoroughly. Please forward your findings to CK3 team. CK3 still has this issue to this day and the devs are completely ignoring it.

 

[Vohen]

Time to revert my mod as well, I guess...

 

[MateuszNH]

Now that's good decision, i started multiplayer campaign for newbies and what u did in this 1.30.5 was so horrendous i had to make them roll back versions, and newbies don't even know how to do such stuff. Very good u reacted so qucikly and we can make normal campaign on friday.

 

[Travis_Bickle]

I'm well and truly done with this useless company @Johan.

You messed up by going to 1.30.5.

You've also now messed up by going back to 1.30.4 and ruining the saves of those who started 1.30.5 games.

That may not seem like much but it's pathetic on your part. Chopping and choosing what version of the game people can play on at will and ruining achievement runs because YOU and YOUR team messed things up is a joke.

I don't think I've ever dealt with a company behaving so unprofessionally. This is frankly a terrible reflection of you and your team's professionalism and commitment to the community.

Seriously, I'm absolutely astonished you think you can behave like this.

 

[MisterTipp]

Hope = restored!
Thank you so much! Based Johan!

I'd like to hold a single silent minute for the ironman saves reaped during these two days. Gone but not forgotten. F.

 

[Travis_Bickle]

I really wish the software company I work for could just change version at will, breaking functionality in the process and somehow get away with it.

and refuse to restore the progress made by the users of the software

 

[Travis_Bickle]

and refuse to restore the progress made by the users of the software

And yet still be defended by people who think you are a saint.

It is genuinely appalling.

 

[Jelra]

Could you add the 1.30.5 Nakama as a option in beta, so people who have a played a lot of ironman 1.30.5 by now can continue there runs with corrupting them ?

I second this. Started a new campaign yesterday, and it's ruined now.

 

[Will Lucky]

I second this. Started a new campaign yesterday, and it's ruined now.

Aye good idea. Just make sure to stick a big warning sign on it.

Thirded, I'm on the same boat
