Ok, quick update. Reloaded to autosave and fired the event manually. The great war seems to have started normally

Okay.

Hi guys,
I have a quick question about the PDM mod, I just can't seem to access the PDM forum. (Does it still exist ?)
Anyway, I have a problem with the state casus belli.
Once I have won a war where I have asked for a state and peaced out with the state. The game just doesn't enact the state change.
So I just end up with a useless war where I don't get the state I fought for...
(This bug only occurs for the state casus belli and for any country.)
Any idea what can I do ?

If you register your game, you'll be able to see it. Not sure about the problem, though. Someone else can probably answer, though.

Yep, you need to register the game.

You probably didn't peace out for that state by accident. There is no other explanation besides a corrupted file which is unlikely. Go back using an autosave and see.

That's the thing, I tried many changes, at first I also thought that I had forgotten. But after trying many times in different configurations ( with/without allies, no other casus belli, etc...) nothing changes, it just doesn't work. (Besides the other casus bellis do work, so it is only the state conquest one.)
What is register the game ?
Anyway, if it is a corrupt file ? How can I find it ? ( I only changed the language settings in the file and modified a few things on Egypt. So I hope it is not me that did something by accident.)

Go to Steam, go to library, click Victoria II, Properties, Verify Game Cache (I think it is this process, I may have missed a step or a name).

However, doing that will replace your game files so you will have to reedit that Egyptians thing and the language settings.

You register the game by going up to the top of this page, click Register a Game, and enter your Victoria II key.

Done, except for the V2 key that isn't recognize for some unknown reason !

Anyway, I tried the steam properties thing and does not fix my problem ... (Btw thanks, never looked around the steam settings, was worth it ! - Setting language without modifying files. -)

Well, my last option is the re install V2 ? Or perhaps, start a war/game again and see if the problem occurs again ?

Thanks for your help by the way !

EDIT1 : It seems that I had to start a new game. ( I'll update further if the bug lasts.)

Help needed (or advice) - HoD, Concert of Europe mod.
Playing as UK - Problem building steam shipyard.
The UK defaults to either Whig or Conservatives (so either LF or Interventionist) I cannot seem to be able to manipulate to get a Tory government, so cannot 'build' a steam shipyard to kickstart steamers.
Is there a 'cheat' to achieve the desired government so that I can kick start it, or do I have to wait and hope that eventually, some capitalist will - I've tried shipbuilding focus, but no joy from there either (3 provinces for 10 years)...

Thanks in advance.

No problem. Are you sure the Victoria II key can't register?

No cheat.

And I don't like cheating just to gain a small advantage.

Yeap the key is not recognized, just tried again a few seconds ago and didn't work.

About the bug, still there ... Well, not exactly, it seems that some countries are affected and some others are not.
I tested with Austria the state casus belli to see if it worked or not, it did. Now I have started a new game, because my old saved games still had the issue, I finally had a state casus belli and the same problem occured once I won the war...

I guess i'll have to de install / re install the game and the mod.

You never said you have a mod!

That mod is the reason that "bug" is there.

Crap, since I talked about the mod just before I thought that it was logical..
Yeah, I do have the mod, so there is no way to work this out ! Sorry for the misunderstanding

What mod do you have?

 

[LordSmoath]

What mod do you have?

Well the one I was asking about, the PDM PoD mod

You just said you couldn't access the forums! I thought you couldn't get it!

 

[LordSmoath]

Yes indeed, i just think it through entirely and thought that it would make sense that I would be using this mod ! (Sorry about that !)
Anyway there was things to be fixed through the properties, so it wasn't useless
Btw I still can't access the pdm mod thread because of the key that isn't recognised !

EDIT : So I reinstalled the mod and the hotfix, I launched a new game with the country I had issue with and the issue is still there. Somehow it seems that the game assimilates the peace offer to a white peace instead of a conceding one.
I noticed it, because I offered peace through the defendant and once peace was accepted, it said " XXX accepted our generous peace offer : White peace ". (Which it wasn't.)

I don't know. I have never experienced this.

You have to register your key somehow, file a help request. Do not play with the mod and see if the problem persists.

Thanks

It's your leadership, which represents the number of officers in your military. When you save up 20 or so leadership, I forget exactly how much, you can create a new general or admiral. By default, the game automatically creates them to fill up the number of armies and navies you have, though you can use extra to spend more so that you can get better leaders.
