Older versions and release notes: releases.
First start#
- Start the program; it needs no installation. Windows may warn about an unknown publisher, see Troubleshooting.
- The manager looks for Steam and GOG installations. Pick yours, or choose the folder that contains
game.ini. - The start page shows the detected game: Known version means the exact version is in the database.
The manager remembers the folder; with several installations switch between them on the Manager page.
Recommended setup#
The start page lists what the community recommends for your exact game version: the recommended items are
selected, optional ones (for example window mode) you can add. Set up selected installs and sets everything at once.
On the command line: recommended shows the list, recommended --apply sets it up.
Installing a patch#
Open Patches, pick a patch and click Install. Patches it needs are offered too. Uninstall removes it again and restores the files it had replaced. A patch marked Present was installed by hand, by the store or by an older manager; Take over reinstalls it under the manager's control.
Close the game before installing or removing patches; the manager checks that.
Game settings and savegames#
Game settings changes game.ini without starting the game (the original file is kept as
game.ini.manager-backup). Savegames backs them up to Documents/Europa 1400 Manager/Backups.
Coming from version 1.x#
The manager no longer keeps config.yml next to the program; it takes over the game folder from it once and stores
its settings in your user folder. Patches installed with 1.x show up as Present and can be taken over.
