So does the game ship with a ship designer or not? I want to ship Franz Joseph I with Duchess Sophie Charlotte Augustine in Bavaria.

I've been impatiently waiting for this game for 10 years. It hasn't come out yet. I don't know how they expect me to believe it'll come out in the next 10 minutes.

So frustrating. Tried restarting Steam and verifying the game files. Guess I'll poke around that file with a text editor and see if I can fix it manually.

Just keeping to the Vicky 2 tradition of the steam version being horribly broken.

I opened up the launcher-settings.json file and changed formatVersion to just "1" instead of "1.1" and it did launch finally.

I got around it by installing the launcher manually with [steam]/steamapps/common/Victoria 3/launcher/launcher-installer-windows.msi, which seems to install a stand-alone launcher. Victoria 3 doesn't actually appear in said stand-alone launcher (since I haven't registered it to my PDX account?), but updating that launcher made the game launch properly through Steam.

It took quite a while for the main menu to load, my computer started sounding like a leaf-blower and there was no music while it was initializing, but the game finally started. It's real!

I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

I really disliked how the game looked when it was announced. Now though, especially now that I see it in game, it's very beautiful. So good work whoever's been working on that the last 18 months or so.
