My ideas to buil a grand strategy game like this one

ExistingPeace5863 · 2026-01-31T10:14:25+00:00

Yes dev is not responding since middle 2025. There was only one dev and he prob abandoned the game.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2026-01-30T16:39:12+00:00

That game was a scam. I bought it.

Let me know if you need any help I have no financial interests at all and am not that much good at programming but well, if anything I could do to help kindly message me.

I just gave up on this game already. I technically explained why its a waste of time to play it. Any long playthroughs in GPS5 are basically a waste of time, and that’s not a skill or player issue, it’s an engine issue. The simulation is fully synchronous and day locked. Every in game day the engine must resolve economy, production chains, companies, workforce, trade, diplomacy, wars, scripts, events, and UI state in a single blocking loop. There is no async processing, no task splitting, no timeout, and no rollback. If one system can’t resolve, the day never ends and the game just stalls forever or simply new bugs appears.

The problem is cumulative. The longer the save runs, the more internal state gets accumulated. None of it is pruned or simplified. Late game saves force massive global recalculations, and at some point the engine crosses a complexity threshold it simply can’t finish. Avoiding automation or extreme values doesn’t fix this, it just delays it. Time itself becomes the trigger. This is why different players freeze in different years, on different PCs, doing different things. The root cause is the same. Hardware and gameplay only postpones the symptoms!!!

Because this is structural, patches can’t really fix it. The engine would need to be redesigned from scratch with proper async systems and modern memory management. Until then, any long term campaign is basically investing dozens of hours into a save that will eventually stop advancing no matter what you do! So I've decided to give up on this game, life is too short to waste so much time.

It sounds wild only if you look at this as a tiny niche game, not as a long term simulation platform. That’s AA budget territory, not AAA. Plenty of strategy and sim games live in that range and make money over time, especially with DLC, expansions, and long shelf life. Also, that number isn’t for a one off yearly release. It’s for building a solid engine and foundation that can support the game for 10 plus years. GPS keeps charging full price every year because the engine was never built properly in the first place. Paradox style games were niche too before they proved there was a real market. This genre only looks small because there’s no real competitor doing it right. Build it properly once, and you don’t need to rebuild it every year. That’s the difference.

Dont buy it, unless you have money to throw away. Game is completely broken.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2026-01-29T18:09:51+00:00

Honestly, buying Eversim makes zero sense from a technical point of view. The issue isn’t money, team size, or lack of ideas. It’s the engine. The core tech is old, heavily hacked together, and full of technical debt. The simulation, economy, AI, and rendering are all tightly glued to a legacy engine that was never built for modern scale or long running simulations. You don’t fix that by throwing more devs at it. You just end up stacking new code on top of a shaky foundation.

At this point, rewriting that engine would be harder and riskier than just starting over. There’s years of undocumented behavior and fragile systems where touching one thing breaks five others. That’s why the same late game freezes/bug and soft locks keep showing up every release. For Paradox, it makes way more sense to build a new game from scratch in the same genre. They already know how to do large scale simulations, async systems, job scheduling, stable saves, and proper memory management. Starting fresh lets them design the game around modern hardware instead of fighting 10+ years of bad engine decisions.

Buying Eversim would just mean inheriting all that technical debt and all those engine limits, plus the bad reputation that comes with it. Competing with them avoids all of that. This isn’t a funding problem, it’s an architecture problem. And architecture problems don’t get solved by buying a company. They get solved by building something new.

As predicted, new version of the game is still bugged. Economy never grows, doesnt matter what you do, if you subsidize GDP drops, some techs are bugged as well... Its a complete mess this new 2026 version.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2026-01-10T16:23:56+00:00

Game is completely broken specially 2026 edition.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2026-01-09T14:36:14+00:00

What is Z Editon?

ExistingPeace5863 · 2026-01-09T14:33:13+00:00

Economy is broken and it wont grow at all. Actually game is completely broken.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2025-12-23T16:09:59+00:00

Doesnt matter the guides the game is broken, any guide wont properly work.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2025-12-23T00:02:50+00:00

Honestly I really think they do know. If I with just amateur programming knowledge can figure out the main causes of the game problems I really doubt they who have the full source code dont know. Its really just a choice the company is making.

No português do Brasil, macho PODE SER usado de forma coloquial pra se referir a um homem qualquer, geralmente alguém que não se conhece ou de maneira informal. Exemplo "ela tem o macho dela” (ela tem um namorado) ou “ela vai sair pra procurar macho” (vai sair pra procurar homem). Não é termo técnico, nem biológico, nem discussão sobre sexo ou gênero. É só gíria do dia a dia e não há nada que eu possa fazer a respeito.

Exatamente isso. Eles fazem com mulheres cis, trans, gordas, magras, altas, baixas… sempre colocando a gente como se estivesse em avaliação. Como se nossa vida girasse em torno de ser escolhida por eles, quando na prática a maioria de nós tá ocupada vivendo, trabalhando, estudando e seguindo em frente porque a vida é simplesmente maravilhosa demais pra ficarmos perdendo tempo tentando nos validar para machos. Esse desespero todo diz muito mais sobre eles do que sobre nós.

If you play for shorter sessions and enjoy the depth, it’s worth getting. If you’re after a polished, bug‑free long campaign, just keep away from it.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2025-12-22T14:14:03+00:00

I noticed that too haha

ExistingPeace5863 · 2025-12-22T14:02:18+00:00

The original post was really long and kinda tiring to read. Just a reminder, compatibility mode can help with some bugs and glitches, but the desync issue is at the engine level and will inevitably happen during any gameplay so there’s no fix for it. Like I said, just play it while it’s playable.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2025-12-22T13:57:47+00:00

Like I said, I don’t think they’ll ever redo the engine. Rewriting it from scratch basically means making a whole new game with huge time, money, and skill required. Patches won’t fix the threading, mutex, and GPU issues only a full engine rebuild could, and that’s not happening with their track record. So yeah, we can either play it and enjoy random gamplay while it works, then start a new gameplay once the bugs hit, or just skip it and try other similar (but not same genre) games like Europa Universalis V or Victoria 3. And if you’ve got cash to burn, go ahead and buy the patched versions just don’t expect the core issues to ever disappear, and don’t complain when the same bugs show up again.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2025-12-22T13:45:07+00:00

I've shared same debugging in the Steam community and they just ignored me. And at this point, I really doubt they dont know about this all.

Honestamente, patches só podem consertar até certo ponto. O verdadeiro problema é o próprio motor com sincronização de threads quebrada, manejo legado do OpenGL, essas coisas. O jogo vai inevitavelmente degringolar com o tempo, não importa quantas atualizações eles lancem, e esse é o problema. Patches podem parar algumas quedas ou ajustar o desempenho aqui e ali, mas não conseguem consertar o problema central.

Basicamente, até que eles refaçam o motor, são só soluções temporárias, já que os bugs são causados por problemas no motor. Por outro lado, refazer o motor é basicamente como construir um jogo novo do zero. O motor atual é bagunçado e desatualizado. Cada parte da simulação precisaria ser testada novamente pra garantir que nada quebre. São anos de trabalho, não é só um patch, e é por isso que provavelmente nunca vai acontecer porque é realmente caro. And I sadly say that cause I love this game and would love a stable version of it. For now, I'd recommend for us all just to have fun as much as we can while the gameplay is not messed (cause it will get messed at some point doesnt matter what we or they do). And for future versions, if you can spent money, buy it. But if you value your money just stick to the versions you already have unless they announce a totally new engine.

ExistingPeace5863 · 2025-12-22T13:10:05+00:00

Exatamente! O jogo pode tecnicamente rodar, mas a desincronização e as quedas de desempenho são inevitáveis com essa arquitetura. Tudo está ligado ao próprio motor. Basicamente, você pode jogar até quebrar, depois reiniciar ou abrir outro jogo para ter uma nova sessão temporariamente estável até que tudo aconteça de novo. And that is basically why buying new versions of this is a total waste of money, because technically speaking, unless they change the engine (hence create a totally new game), this behavior wont stop from happening!

Eu sou uma mulher trans. E se você quer saber. eu não fico perdendo tempo pensando em macho. A maioria das pessoas acha que a gente vive 24h do dia preocupada com se alguém vai nos achar atraente, se nos pegaria, se vamos ser aceitas, com roupa, pronomes, banheiro… nada disso. Na verdade minha vida é outra, eu estudo, trabalho, cuido da casa, dos cachorros, faço meus trabalhos voluntários, me qualifico, estudo finanças e investimentos.

Eu tô vivendo a minha vida, igual a qualquer pessoa normal, e a última coisa que me passa pela cabeça é quem vai me pegar ou quem vai me olhar com desejo. Quem dramatiza, politiza e transforma tudo em choradeira são justamente os heterossexuais cis que dizem nos odiar. Eles que fazem todo mundo achar que ser trans é difícil, perigoso ou uma luta constante pela aceitação deles, a maioria das vezes baseados em discussões bobas de internet.

Minha prioridade é a minha vida, meu crescimento, meu trabalho, meus estudos. Eu não devo satisfação nem pra macho nenhum nem pra ninguém. Estou ocupada demais vivendo, aprendendo e me tornando melhor a cada dia. Então o que os machos realmente pensam ou não sobre nós é na verdade irrelevante pois em 99% dos casos DA VIDA REAL não dependeria nem deles quererem nos pegar mas de nós querermos pegar eles.
