new patch and my current game?

[unmerged(632822)]

This may sounds stupid, but I am serious. Will this new patch work in my current game? I guess not, but...

 

[Johan]

yes.

 

[unmerged(80402)]

yes.

Yes it will not work. Am I not Right?

 

[pgroves]

I'm pretty sure he means it will work...

 

[Tom013]

So far, no EU4 patch has broken backwards compatibility for saves (though a few have put your nation in a weird spot...)

 

[blasteg]

My interpretation is Yes, it will work, and No, you're not right.

But, realistically, even if the rule changes are fairly minor, will you want to continue the existing game?

It really comes down to the amount of changes and whether any new features are added. But there will always be a little nagging feeling that existing games were played under a different set of rules. It's almost like you were playing a mod or a tutorial, and now the real deal is available.

 

[smikis]

same way 1.2 worked with 1.1 but there were no new national ideas one you loaded savegame, even it showed new nis when you selected to load

 

[blasteg]

Well due to my constraint and my playing speed, I clocked over 65 hours on EU4 and still on my first game.
And I plan on finish it before I start my second one, no matter how many patches are in the way. XD

It depends on your playstyle. If you only got a couple of hours each day to play, you would for sure not want to lose your current game and possibly your coming achievements, one month into a game. If you binge-play, you could just as well start a new game.

If you are playing an iron man game on hard to get off nations then yes you might keep playing.

I am not giving up on my Ironman Najd where I've already Westernized and have a PU over the Ottomans in the 1550s. And the odds of the PU happening again are fairly low, so I'm definitely keeping it.

 

[calvinhobbeslik]

Why is there no patch yet?

 

[anomalacaris]

Why is there no patch yet?

Forum revolt risk is increasing by the minute!

 

[saied_88]

It's coming today. I can feel it.

 

[calvinhobbeslik]

Usually, it's up by this time...

 

[herrhals]

Last minutes changes.

Paradox god Johan said today. I'm prepared to drop everything I'm doing right now as soon as update gets released.

[uzo70]

Haha, love Johan's responses. Always fun to read.
