Hello.

I bought EU:Rome GE and EU:Rome VV on Steam. When I tried to start it I got the following Error:

""An error occurred while updating Europa Universalis: Rome - Gold Edition (Unknown Error)"

I think the message was generated by Steam, but Steam wasn't particularly helpful with solving the problem, It said quite literally that I should bother the people over at Paradox with my problem. So here I am.

I don't think hardware has much if anything to do with it, but for the sake of completeness my specs:

Operating System
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 6500 @ 3.20GHz 23 °C

I solved it by downloading the beta patch here on Paradox Plaza. It's kind of a rookie oversight on my part, but the game is somewhat obscure, so it took a while to figure out, or rather have someone point out to me, that there was a patch in the first place.
