[Windows 7] Ironman save games not appearing in "Saved Games" list [SOLVED]

Jernquist · Aug 16, 2013

Hello!

I started a Bavaria game last night and I wanted to do it Ironman style, as I have a terrible habit of reloading saves if things aren't going my way. Unfortunately, to my dismay, I found that the save game is not in the list of saved games. However, when I attempt to start a new Ironman game, it is listed in the window that lists all Ironman save game files. I did a quick search on my computer trying to locate the directory where the file is stored, and I could only find it in this directory:

C:\[Personal directory]\Steam\userdata\36999526\236850\remote\save games

I tried copypasting the bayernironman.eu4 to the directory where the autosaves are stored, which is:

C:\Users\User\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\save games

Alas, this did not fix the problem.

Im not sure if this is a bug or a technical issue on my end, so please forgive me if I posted in the wrong forum. I also tried searching the forums, but with a 1 minute delay between searches (which makes searching for info like this a proper chore, let me tell you) I could not be bothered to waste any more time doing it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jernquist,

Could you please upload that savegame to a filehosting website? As it might be a bug. Further, all new savegames do appear, also after restarting?

Also please post the logs.

Go to '..\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\'.
Open settings.txt, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]

Code:

[/NOPARSE] tags.
Go to '..\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\logs\'.
Open errors.log, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]

Code:

[/NOPARSE] tags.
Open system.log, copy and paste the entire text between [NOPARSE]

Code:

[/NOPARSE] tags.
Open setup.log, search for the line with "checksum", copy and paste this entire line into your next reply.

You can copy the line below and paste the text between the yellow tags.

Hi IcratoX, thanks for the swift reply.

No, Ironman save games do not appear in the save games list, even after restarting the game. Here is a link to the savegame: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/1VtJ23O4MQ/

I fixed it, and it was not a bug but ineptitude on my end.

If anyone else has this same problem, make sure you go to "Options" and enable "Save to cloud". When you go back to your save game list, there will be a button on the bottom of the savegame window that says "Could". Press it, and your Ironman saves will appear.

Hope I didn't waste anyones time, thanks again for looking into it.

[Edit] And sorry for the double post!

IcratoX · Aug 17, 2013

No problem for the double post and no you did not waste any time, especially because you reported back with how you solved it which can be of use to others

Enjoy the game!
