Hello,

I am pretty sure quite a bit of people are familiar with the problem (2 problems to be exact):

1. About a half of the events don't work when put into Hist Events File (events 3,7,9,11,12,27,30,31,32,37,39,42,43,44,45,46,47,50,52,54,58,59,20,22,21) or work funny;

2. Hist Events are loaded only at the beginning of the monarch reign, and never checked after that.

I ( and am sure alot of other people) prefer to play with Hist Events on, however, at the present time it's impossible to model quite a bit of NEGATIVE events, as they simply don't work. E.g. one of the most annoying aspects of the game is ever-improving relationships between AI countries. While fixing the cause of this problem would be important, in the meantime, why can't we work around the problem by using an event 50 (Dip Insult)? It doesn't work! So, how can we model the sudden drop in relationship between countries?
Modeling civil unrest is another example: almost none of the available events (e.g. events 42,43,44,47 etc) are working in Hist Events file.
Event 7 is broken, it works but nothing works after it. Event 11 works funny - it simply doesn't do anything, as well as events 27 and 52.

Problem #2 is more important. Even though I love the game, I can't play it for more than 2 hrs a day, which makes me reload the game everytime I resume the play. In addition, crashes to Desktop somehow intensify by the end of the game. While annoying in itself, it also bears a negative effect on the gameplay: MOST of the Hist Evens listed NEVER occur. Since the game loads the Hist Events ONLY when a monarch starts his career, any crash after that wipes out whatever good or bad he could've got. Would it be possible to make the game load the Hist Events every time the savefile is loaded? This will definitely improve the gameplay immensely (provided all events will become workable as well) and will undoubtedly alleviate the current crash problems.

Please Paradox, FIX these problems.

I would like to invite people to contribute here and urge Paradox to fix these 2 problems. After all, I can live with crashes IF I know nothing is lost in the process.

BiB, if you can make it a sticky....

Event 7 does work... It's the convert heretics event
If one of your core provinces has another religion then your state religion, the province is converted
 
Johan,

Please, can I add my strong voice to Crook's petition # 2. Knowing my own limitations in playing time, I'm greatly disappointed (to the point of not playing!) to discover this flaw in the historical events keyed to the monarchs. I know of one other EU player who feels the same way as I do. I'm afraid that I must consider this problem a game-killer for me. Please, please, consider a fix for this problem.

Jim
 
I have to agree with the masses on this one. A way for historical events to occur after a saved game is restarted must be found. Paradox, please add this to your next (hopefully soon to be found) update.

Johan, if not all events the file were designed to work can you let us know which should work and which should not. This would presumably tell us which ones that should work are simply broken at this point.

Thanks.
 
Is this a matter of "Out of Site Out of Mind".:mad:

The FAQ board is very useful but is not as well visited as the General board. Also this discussion is not a FAQ......it is just that a discussion!!.

Can we move it back to the General board?. These points are very important.

Cheers, Ice:cool:
 
I add my signature to the petition. It is a severe problem IMHO.

And I agree, please move the thread back to General Discussions - it needs exposure. The FAQ forum is a grave yard compared to GD.

It's a joke ???
You haven't found a generic structure for all events ?

What are events in this case ?

A lot of bugs have been mentionned in a lot of threads.
Patch 1.10 is it in progress ???

Since 11-05-2001 none update information is available from Patric...
Can you be a little more "transparent" ?

EU is still excellent but it could be more...

Cordialement a french fan.
 
I add my signature to this petition.

Actually, for those of you that are interested, Dagfinn, myself, and State Machine were involved in threads with this subject. Perform a search with any of our names as a parameter (edit box on the right). I'm too lazy to include the links here.... :D

(Later during the day....) Actually..., here they are....
