I haven't touched the game in a while; came back to it and notice that I can't load my ironman saves and can't enable ironman in the options (it's grayed out and the tooltip says 'Ironman needs EU4 to be unmodified and validated').

I unsubcribed from all mods, deleted the EU4 folder from My Documents, deleted and re-installed the game on Steam. The game says I have the correct checksum for the latest patch: 2289. I'm not in offline mode obviously, and I can see all of my cloud saves.

I believe there were problems on the Steam servers yesterday, are you still having this problem?

Note there is a cosmetic bug in 1.3 where saves say they are not Ironman in one place, but do have the 'mailed fist' icon in the list and still work. This will be fixed in the next patch.

Yes, it has now resolved itself. I didn't think it was a server problem as friends on Steam could play in Ironman mode. Thank you!

We've had one customer report that a full clean install of Steam resolved this issue for him. So copy any valued game games for all Steam games elsewhere, then in Steam do Delete Local Files for all games. Then uninstall Steam itself, and manually delete all leftover files and directories it leaves behind.

Then install Steam again, thins time outside the system path (so NOT under c:\program files\ but elsewhere, such as c:\steam\ or c:\games\steam\). Install EU4 and see if that's helped with Ironman play.

My issue has been resolved. While digging through the settings I noticed that the Steam overlay claimed that I was playing "Europa Universalis IV Beta" and the appid links were wrong. I filed a ticket with Steam and they fixed the issue with my account. :)
