We're aiming to either have it updated on launch day or within a couple days of launch.


Can there be a mode where you start the game on the same date you end it in CK2? (as long as it's 1444 or after).

Or select your game in CK2 so that it ends on the day EU4 starts.

Supposedly there is like a 10 year discrepancy when converting so it is kind of immersion breaking I feel.

Or you can stop playing CK2 on 11 November 1444 and convert like I did.

I'm actually surprised considering it took a couple months for it to be updated after the release of AoW. Is keeping the converter updated more prioritized now?

I hope so, I've always loved converting over games even if it takes ages to mod them myself (which I don't mind tbh, it's half the fun :p).

That said, my prayers go out to Groogy. Updating that beast can't be fun or easy!

It's probably less big of a deal, because they're adding far fewer provinces in Common Sense.
Would say more actually. The vast majority of provinces added in AoW were not within the map of CKII while the development/building changes means each and every province conversion has to be tweaked.

That's really good news wiz. Will it just be "working" or will it be a bit improved? The main problem I've always had with the converter is that it converts all german type cultures to just "german".

It is quite insulting to the customers to keep selling a product that simply doesn't work. If Paradox doesn't want to support the converter and make it work for the current version of the game they should stop selling it and refund everyone who bought it already.
one guy is maintaining it, and has to maintain it between two frequently updated games (both of which keep making major code changes that mess with how the converter works), there's only so much you can expect

I've always had a problem with this. It'd be great if the converter could identify certain CK2 cultures as parents of EUIV cultures, and then split them up into the right EUIV cultures based on the vanilla 1444 culture map.

one guy is maintaining it, and has to maintain it between two frequently updated games (both of which keep making major code changes that mess with how the converter works), there's only so much you can expect

The upset customer would argue that, in order to fulfill their obligations to the customer, Paradox should divert the necessary resources to ensure that all paid content is kept working with minimal downtime when necessary.

Personally, I don't care too much, as I don't use the converter that much anyway, but in principle Groogy should get some help if it's too difficult to keep the converter updated on his own. Thankfully (at least for us, Groogy has probably had to bust his ass to get this done), it looks like he's doing just fine with the Common Sense update, though.

That's extremely doubtful. There quite simply isn't a big enough team to keep the converter consistently updated. If we're lucky, it'll be ready a a few months or so after CS is released.

Then they should offer a refund, or some other sort of compensation. And not make stuff that they don't have the capability to support.

EDIT = And, having read the rest of this thread, I see that it's not even a concern. Good on Paradox to be keeping up!

While it's nice that they tried to keep their promise, it doesn't work as of right now. Maybe they fixed it and patched it, but they must have broken it again as it doesn't work right now.
Well on ck2 side it was working as of last patch but I suppose the latest eu4 hotfix might have broken it since they could have messed with things by trying to fix the not detecting converted saves properly which you could 'fix' by manual copy to mod folder. Though I wouldn't deem this anywhere near important enough to be in a hotfix- partly due to the workaround- so if that isn't working for you I think a bug report with details should be filled here because AFAIK other people are still using it without problems so this might not even be known to devs.

I've seen many reports about it not working as of right now other than my issue.

It works. It's just that until the next CK2 patch you need to manually move the exported mod files to your EU4 /mod/ folder.
