The conflict with the EU 4 team ended with a block in the Steam community.

[PaxAetA]

In May 2014 I bought the EU 4 game, since then I have played 6+ thousand hours, that's 2 years for 8 hours every day. But I have met players who have played more than me.
Over the past three years, I haven't played it as much as I would like. At first I waited for the solution of the problems that appeared with the game mechanics, then I tried to write about errors on your forum and on Steam.
Why do employees working with CK 3 and HoI 4 see my messages about problems in the game, but EU 4 do not notice?
Why did my attempts to reduce the number of errors in the game EU 4 cause me to become an outcast and get banned? Until the last day I wrote about errors with the screenshot application!
I spent a lot of time with the masterpiece EU 4 game, what now!
I can't save screenshots, as I understand it, I can't get achievements in the game. I only wanted to improve the game, but alas!
Thank you for reading. My suggestion.
If someone from the staff working with the EU 4 game does not want to read my error messages in the game, let them not read it. I need an address to which I will send reports about the errors I found with the save application in the game. I also need access to get achievements in the game. Although I did not try to open them, I opened 100 out of 354.

I noticed that in the game sometimes bonuses for receiving money stopped dropping out when the cost of goods increased. This happened after bug fix 1.35.5. So playing since 1763 for the USA in the Revolutionary War, I did not receive 500 coins for rising tobacco prices.

Happy 10th game.

I don't know why you got banned from the steam forum, but as I said there, you should post bugreports in the eu4 bug reports forum.

You are talking about the event Growing Popularity of Tobacco, right? That event is not supposed to give you money. About half of the price change events give you a direct benefit, but Growing Popularity of Tobacco is not one of these events.

I think this event, with a stratum in 1776, should not come out. growth already exists 4.5.
But when I played for the Caribbean start in 1444 (Indians and South America), I was not paid money. I don't remember the product name. Not not gems.

You are right. That event will not happen if you start the game in 1776. But it is the only price change event for tobacco, so maybe you got another event in your game. I now saw your bugreport about this, but it is not really helpful, because it contains neither a screenshot which shows the event nor a save game where the event is open nor a save game where the event is about to happen.

And most of your other bugreports are also lacking saves and enough information to reproduce the problem. For example the battle without the landing penalty doesn't have anything which shows if the army actually landed with a ship and it doesn't show if there are circumstances which would negate the landing penalty(e.g. marines in the attacking army). And the rebels which occupied your province doesn't have any way to reproduce how this happened and it doesn't show if you maybe just conquered the provinces where the rebels were already located.

My first account has been blocked. You are the first person since 2016 to culturally correspond with me in the EU 4 game thread, sharing your knowledge, usually these were toxic users.
I created a second account here this night in an attempt to make the game better one last time. This is my favorite game to date.
The truce with the Ming has an indicator, so the war was a few years ago.

I can't save screenshots, as I understand it, I can't get achievements in the game.

I don't quite know what you are saying here, but playing Ironman does not mean you can't take screenshots. They are unrelated functions. And as @grotaclas says, bug reports should have saved games attached to them too. Lacking either of those, I'm not surprised your reports do not get actioned.

Paradox do not moderate the Steam discussion groups, they are entirely run by Steam.

And, making multiple accounts here to circumvent a ban is a bannable offense in its own right.

Hello, AndrewT! English is not my native language. A couple of days ago, your colleague LazySiege here on the forum suggested where to send error messages, when I had my first account here, no one specifically told me about a separate section. Misunderstanding on my part has been exhausted, six alleged problems have been sent by me to the appropriate section. I want to reiterate that the representatives of the CK3 and HoI4 games processed my messages on Steam and made edits in the games. The first is about the brightness (flash) of the transition to the start map in CK3. The second one was introduced in the HoI4 beta patch to display different types of aircraft (now they look like a tactical bomber and a heavy fighter). That is, if I intentionally created a conflict it would be in many games and all the time. I created the second account (I don’t have access to the first one) in order to normalize communications, for example, I read news about games on the forum, and not in Steam.
Now I have a ban in the EU4 Steam games community. In this connection, I have a question, can I get achievements in the game. I am ready to take responsibility for my behavior, which was caused by the lack of feedback from the representative of the EU4 game, but. possible, deprivation of earning achievements in the game, this is an inflection.

2. We encourage developers to be thoughtful when moderating their communities, especially when considering bans.
The impact of poor moderation can lead to anger, decreased confidence in the product and ultimately can be detrimental to the success of the game.
Some of that information is here:

I will share your feedback and report with the rest of the team here as well.

Now what? Today I have limited opportunities for a full-fledged game. You can't save screenshots and, as I understand it, you can't get achievements in Steam, I won't be able to supplement my guide in the game. I repeat, I am ready to bear responsibility, but this type of influence on me is excessive to my misdeed.

 

[AndrewT]

You can't save screenshots

Why not? I'm not aware of any reason why that should be so. What happens when you try? Do you mean Steam, in-game or both?

you can't get achievements in Steam,

Why not? If you are in unmodded Ironman you should get them, being banned from the discussion group has no effect on achievements.

Hello! Do I understand correctly that my account in the EU4 game community was blocked by a Steam employee, and not by Paradox Interactive?
And the point is to play or report problems when my options are limited. Ok, let them not give you the opportunity to write, but getting achievements and taking screenshots is too much.
I like the work of your communications staff with CK3 and HoI4 players. Everything about EU4 is sad, if one of them made contact, there would be no overheating in communications.
P.S.: I spent the last 50 hours on Steam playing KoH2, my friend gave it to me as he thinks that more than 6 thousand hours in EU4 is a lot. At the beginning of this year, I found out that your company has the rights to the first part, then why is the Steam version of the game 1.1 and not 1.4?
This situation prompted me to stop not only buying games on Steam, but also the game. You sit, spend hours, days, and then the mechanic has problems. The most common problem in the last two years is when AI units are standing still. They are still standing until you restart the game. This has been the case for the last 100 hours of playing as a Caribbean Indian tribe, with a stack of Portuguese flying a black flag and enough transport ships nearby to take them away and cause me problems. If you've been playing EU 4 for the last couple of years, you should understand what I'm talking about. I'm the kind of person who doesn't reboot every time, but exits or starts from scratch. The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and Skyrim 5 did not pass. Thank you for spending your working time on a former fan of your studio's games.
P.P.S.: As for Putin's Russia, it rests solely on corruption, and the level of development of society has slipped to the level of Turkey. You perfectly understand that the technical component of EU4 is worse than HoI4 or Stellaris. That's why I made a similar comparison.

Don't you dare blame our staff for your behaviour.

Okay, enough. This thread is over. Do NOT start any similar one here or you will be banned from these forums too.
