I admit that with this patch the game returned to be enjoyable for me. First time I finish a game since 2.0.

There are still more bugs than what should be (especially cb broken once federated, minor sanctions clutter in GC and WIH totally messed up), but it's not as catastrophic as usual. Let's hope they maintain the trend!

Surprise surprise!

It turned out that it was indeed that treacherous launcher fault after all. Despite disabling all mods the damn thing kept sabotaging my EU4. I had to simultaneously delete all mods files, delete all mods subscriptions on steam, deactivate mods on the launcher and convert to Norse religion to make finally Manchu work.

Quoting: ModofokusDoes anyone experience bad performance with this game? I have a Ryzen 1800x and 980Ti SLI and still get framedrops to 20 fps.

Sorry but I'm unable to play on the Manchu patch, the one with the new launcher and 64x refactoring. Though the launcher crashing issue was fixed in the subsequent hotfix, my game crashes at startup.
Apart from this my EU4 works fine and the devs themselves acknowledge that our version works better than the Windows one.

I can agree that their pricing policy is nuts. Their stubbornness in not cutting the price of old dlcs won them ample criticism. I myself never recommend the game to new players even if it's easily my favorite one.

I disagree though that iterating on a game for more than 8 years is necessarily wrong. By refining and expanding the same game it is possible to reach a level of depth and fun that it's simply not achievable with the old reboot approach. And ofc when people work you pay for their job.

Not actually true this time imho. These mechanical reworks were on top list of user wishlist since long time and they actually took their time for this dlc, more than one year. So the premises are not for the usual rushed release with shallow features but plenty of bugs to inflate shareholders wallets that became Pdx norm. I sincerely think that after Golden Century they made some retrospective and that this time it won't be a cash grab but a real dlc.

Then if promises are met we won't know until it's released. But I've good vibes about this. Also the way they re-organized some DLC mechanics to make them integral into the base game gives me hope that they are not working on EU5 just yet.

Regarding this patch my only regret is that they couldn't find a way to make Austria a formable like Spain and Commonwealth. Since France was also split up in I thought they could manage to do it and keep things balanced. My feeling is that the actual issue was that it would also require work on Ottos and that was out of scope.

Anyway. I might finally go after the big blue blob achievement when it comes out. Although I actually think that my first game will be a battle pope one.

Quoting: eldakingAlso the previous launchers sucked, so apart from compatibility it is an improvement.

It didn't sucked. Or better, it sucked because it was a launcher, but it didn't sucked as a launcher and for sure not compared to the new launcher. Also the absolute mayhem this thing produced with existing mods configuration is nuts. Another bad pr move from pdx pushing a patch without the necessary testing. And yet another round of censorship on their forums at the expense of angry customers.

But at least this time this didn't affect me: my eu4 stopped work ever since that patch so I'm sitting on the old branch where everything works (thank you steam for the feature). :D

Quoting: leillo1975I think that we must make a community petition to Psyonix for ask for a refund. Maybe that way they'll see the bad face of removing the support

They've already shown you the middle finger once. I don't see why ask for another one.

Many Linux and Mac users asking together for a refund might make them think a bit more about this.

What you wish for is a class action not a petition. And I'm no lawyer but I'd be surprised if it can be done. It would be to naive on their part (but hey, I'd love to be wrong!).

Every other not legally binding initiative would only grant us another middle finger.
