Doesn't support 1.31.5 and later? #14

Closed callmws closed 3 years ago

callmws commented 3 years ago

Testing this out against the latest patches gives a pattern not found error. Any chance this could be updated or is it not working from my side only?

steeno commented 3 years ago

Hi @callmws , will test it tonight / this weekend. Can't remember the latest version i tested it successfully with. Should be at least 1.31.4 if i remember correctly. Is 1.31.5 new? Haven't followed EU4 much after the personal disappointment of the leviathan update.

edit: Are you using the steam, gamepass or the new free epic version?

callmws commented 3 years ago

1.31.5 was released a month and a bit I think, and two days ago, they released 1.31.6. Doesn't work on that.

I'm using Steam. Not sure if it works for the Steam version?

Thanks.

Ok this is interesting. I just tried the latest version of the console enabler with version 1.30.6.0 of EU4 and it was still working. Either way i published a small update, which uses static addresses as fallback, if the right memory location could not be determined via the patterns. Could you try https://github.com/steeno/EU4ConsolePatcher/releases/tag/v1.30.6.0 ? And yes this was originally done for the steam version, which i also mainly use.

EDIT: I also added a new cheatengine table for eu4 1.30.6.0, which uses static addresses, so is only valid for version 1.30.6.0, named eu4_v1.30.6.0_static_offset_ironman_console_enabler.CT. I also added the aobscan cheatengine table again which, like my application, tries to find the correct address based on a memory pattern. So you may try one of these too.

Additionally you could try to use the DEBUG version and post the output of it here so that i maybe get a better overview why it fails on your side. You can remove the processlist which gets printed. Should look like:

Weirdest thing happened. The patcher worked on its own after I restarted my PC and it didn't give me an error at all. The game slowed down just a bit, not sure if that's from the patcher but nothing really major.

I'll try the newer version and see if it works as well/better for me. Thanks for the quick fix.

^^ I think this is not the first time someone says that it magically worked all of a sudden. But nice to hear that it was not a major issue in your case. Regarding the performance, you are also not the first who mentioned this. It makes not much sense in my opinion and i have even without the patch performance issues since i don't know? 1.29.x or 1.30.x? where my fps drop from 144 to around 30-40 even if the game is PAUSED after i play for 60 minutes or so. Which is also partly the reason why i currently don't play eu4 much anymore ^^ Dunno if you have cheat engine installed on your system. But you may use the cheattable instead of the application and check if the performance is then also noticeably worse compared to a clean game. The cheattable also has preconfigured hotkeys (ctrl+shift+c) which allows to enable/disable the patch on the fly ingame, so at least after disabling the patch the game should run normally again.
