How about stopping with the constant "fixes" and messing around and destroying savefiles? PACK ALL UPDATES INTO THE EXPANSION AND WARN US BEFOREHAND,

sincerely, a long time customer and player

Why don't you see the announcement and decide to roll back to continue playing.

Sincerely, someone who knows how to look at the bottom half of their screen to see an update has happened.

It is not an early access title!!!

you guys made so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ many DLC that you now have to have a subscription service because otherwise literally no one could afford to play the game in its current form.

The Subscription is way too expensive and only "cheap" if you don't forget to quit it after the first or second month.

They could have done something like season pass, where all former DLCs are included, so that you have to pay like 10 Dollar/Euro for base game and 30 Dollar/Euro per year and get all DLCs included. So you could subscibe to that or you buy the game and/or pass as you like to play. Would be fair to everybody and even PDX would earn maybe more money that way, because more people would play. How it is now, they loose player base.

Can you explain what you mean by "reset everything"? Do you mean that when you use the continue button in the main menu, you get a warning that the save might be incompatible and if you load it nevertheless the end game screen and the game looks like 1444? For some people this can be solved by loading the save from the save games list in the single player menu. And for everybody it helps to go back to version 1.30.4 (not 1.30.5, because that version was only live for one day).

No like all my settings and maps get reset, I even get the help messages and the introduction again. Despite having over 300h in this game! (I know that's not too much in a pdx game)

♥♥♥，赶紧出新DLC

I don't remember seeing this issue recently and I read almost all tech support posts here, on reddit and on the paradox forums.
My guess is that eu4 is unable to save the settings. Mapmodes, game settings, video settings and if hints and introduction messages are activated is saved in "Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/settings.txt". Do you have that file? If you have it, you can try to remove it and see if it gets recreated and if some setting which you changed is stored there(e.g. if you change the "Multisample Level" it would change the number in the line "multi_sampling=").
One possible cause would be a ransomware protection software or an antivirus with a ransomware protection component which blocks eu4 from writting the settings.txt (e.g. the old game version was allowed, but with the update eu4.exe changed and you have to allow it manually).

• If you have Windows Defender(also called Microsoft Defender), add the launcher and eu4 to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list(here[docs.microsoft.com] are instructions for that).
  
• If you have bitdefender, add the launcher and eu4 to the list of ransomware exceptions and "give it access" to "protected files".
  
• If you have avast, you have to add the launcher and eu4 to the allowed list in the ransomware shield

The executable for the launcher version would be "C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2021.2/paradox launcher.exe".

Paradox thank you for working on EU4 and giving it this much support. I am apart of a RP Discord where we play and RP EU4 Games alot. This will stop our current 3 games without going back to the old version, but i know its for the best. Ignore the hate this was the right choice!

There would have been just one right choice: Stop working on EU4, roll it back to version 1.26 and then make EU5 with all that stupid ideas that came after 1.26.

1.30.4 was the last live version of the game - unless you actively chose to play on 1.30.5 - your savegame will be a 1.30.4 version in which case you can easily roll back to 1.30.4 following these instructions: https://steamcommunity.com/app/236850/discussions/0/1733213724915035375/

If you actively chose to play on 1.30.5 - you should still be on 1.30.5 since picking that in the betas tab would prevent your game from updating to 1.30.6 - and you should be able to continue your playthrough

Oh balls. Mine's a 1.30.4 save then, but i reverted to 30.5 when 30.6 came out. I wonder how messed up my save now is...
No wonder my achievements are broken.

It is because they didn't give any information about rolling out 2 patches in a row. So the 1.30.5 is called rollback. And not everybody is knowing what version the game is (because it is not an early access title where the version should matter). I also rolled back to 1.30.5 because of that.
