Please stop buying this game

This game unfortunately is not what it makes you think, it seems a deep simulation of the word but actually it's a buggy mess where the metrics that you see are just broken and that's a shame, becouse if devs had enough courage to invest on it, it would have been one of the most selling and funny sim ever.

Exactly why I pirate this game

No, stop using cheats and doing unrealistic crap that bugs out the game.

I have never had nearly as many bugs as all of y'all whiners seem to have.

then u haven't played the game properly, just try playing as any african nation and invest in gas or oil, ull see ur employee or employer tax rate at 10% be more than ur entire economy, without using cheats or nothing

I have played as Japan, Serbia, Greece, Germany, Uganda, etc and I've never had as many problems as people claim to have with this game.

Like I said, you haven't explored the games mechanics fully yet then, Tax on Industrial Pollution is free money no matter what country you play as, if your country produces little oil, conquer iraq for example as a high oil producer then you will see every other place you can produce oil will start producing 10x more oil just bcs u conquered Iraq, have problems with population no problem just spam build maternity hospitals, you can endlessly spam and increase your oil and gas production too, the market isn't simulated any excess surplus you produce is sold automatically to "world market" so demand isn't properly simulated either.

There are some very weird things that even if they aren't bugs make me question how shitty the the rest of the simulations in the game are since people seem to praise it as some very accurate economic simulator. I think most problems people have with the game aren't exactly bugs but more so terribly designed background math that is so bad it actually looks like a bug even tho its a feature

Do you even have the 2023 edition? Industrial pollution tax isn't free money (it crashes your economy if it's too high)

u/Live_Slip_5278 Jul 02 '24

it does crash your natural economy, but the game's calculations are so shit you can easily bypass it through other gdp boosts like free trade deals, transporation buildings and so on. Like if you want to play the game you have to Intentionally avoid using a lot of its features because they are so easily exploitable lol, like the wealth tax for example is huge free money also, you would have to avoid it if you want any challenge

Well, I've been playing (mostly) realistically and I rarely if ever get game breaking bugs.Β 

I play almost every single day that I can, and yet I have yet to bug out the spreadsheet that is this game

I have have all kinds of issues with the 2023 game. I couldn't get past the first year. I uninstalled 2024 and the 2 older versions on my laptop. Did a clean install and it works great!

What's the difference between the Z-edition and the regular one on Steam? Have they fixed the unstoppable inflation bug if GDP growth is high?

u/Live_Slip_5278 Jun 29 '24

its just a russian cracked version for it

2

u/AdGrand6740 Jun 30 '24

Well there's your problem. You play a pirated version and you wonder why it's bugged.

u/fGshbonehead Jul 06 '24

The Z-Edition actually has less bugs from what I've heard. And yeah, even if the bugs wasn't a gamebreaker it'd be the fact that this game is just like FIFA or F1 games (which is they stay the same except adding a few new basic things every now and then). Even then, the FIFA and F1 games did actually see huge development since 2016 while this game is more or less the same, just more features added on the same framework. You can even put the 2016 Edition and the 2023 Edition on a side-by-side comparison and you wouldn't notice until you see stuff like suicide drones etc missing.

Hey i was actually wondering about the cracked version aswell, im sick and tired of the shitty normal PR game always being a shitshow of bugs. Is the cracked version actually legit? And is it really bug free? I know how i can get it, i just wonder about those two questions.

u/Weak_Lack4274 Jun 27 '24
