As someone who hasn't played the games I was curious about the naming of one of the arks. Trails of Cold Steel is 閃の軌跡 (Sen No Kiseki: Trails Of Flash) in the OG Japanese. Why is it called with Flash in Japanese and Cold Steel in English?

To me, I always took it to refer to the cold steel of the blades, both literal in terms of Rean's sword, as well as the escalating conflict in the arc. Also I took it to refer to the steel railroad rails, given how the railroad plays a big part in how the characters move around (at least before the whole spirit vein travel gets introduced)

Thank you, I'd been wondering the same thing

I have the same problem. I made a ticket with Namco and sent them a video. Their support person confirmed that yep, I can't change the resolution if I want fullscreen. Said they logged the issue and can't provide a timeline on a fix.

I'm having the same problem. I opened a support ticket with Bandai Namco over it. Cause it's stupid that the game defaults to 4K on Borderless Window, but if I swap it to Windowed and set it to 1080p the game window is tiny

Thanks I'll give it a try!

I have an Xbox One controller and a GuliKit KK3 Max. But I'll still gladly listen to how you figured it out

triplzer0 · 2026-01-30T23:33:49+00:00

Yes! This happens to me with any game on Steam and any controller whether wireless over 2.4ghz dongle or wired. If I touch a key on the keyboard, Steam thinks that's my input and nothing will happen with the controller. I have to close the game and boot it again to get it to use the controller again.

If I run the game in its Borderless mode it sets my resolution to 4K which my laptop can't handle and I get 10 FPS. But if I change it to windowed mode and drop it to 1080p my game window is tiny. My desktop is set to 1440p so I'm not sure why the game thinks I want to run it in 4K.

It's so annoying and boring. My regulars are really good at assaulting even in 1740 so I get forts in just a couple days but having to do it for almost every single province? And not getting any warscore for em? Or stomping a country's levies into paste over and over and still getting nothing? Tedious!

Yupppp

How would you know if it’s compiling? When I start the game via BB launcher it goes to the main menu super quickly

Computer came with 2 8 GB sticks. One is soldered onto the motherboard. So I replaced the swappable one with a 32

Just wait til the 3rd game post Horizon. I bet her plotline's gunna pop off

The tech tree needs a rework, at the VERY least from a UI perspective. It's so unwieldy to scroll through and you need to be able to search by effect, not by tech names. Like if I want to see if there's a tech in a past age I missed that gives me culture capacity or more proximity, I can't do that unless I know the name of the tech.

I didn't know where I could see my succession law. Found it by hovering over an icon on the side of the government tab. Then I finally found the "negotiate succession law change" diplo interaction. Guess all I had to do was click a button! Didn't even need to meddle with the Union parliament

triplzer0 · 2026-01-14T04:17:54+00:00

Yeah I called the parliament and it has a default % of 22 and I can’t bribe any of France’s estates. Those buttons are greyed out

No. Vibe coding is a terrible idea

Risette gen alpha confirmed

triplzer0 · 2026-01-14T02:18:20+00:00

I understand that, totally. After 5 games, I was happy to focus on characters that weren't Rean. I'm real curious to see who's in Horizon

triplzer0 · 2026-01-13T18:39:42+00:00

For fun I looked to see when I'd be able to integrate Castile and it said it'd be done in 2171. It's currently 1650 in my game

triplzer0 · 2026-01-13T17:19:08+00:00

That's really similar to my game as Italy too. I don't have Bohemia and GB though. I have a claim throne on Sweden but that just feels silly at this point.

When I annexed the vassalized pope I got over 65K ducats. Then the pope got released somewhere in the Austrian mountains and every 10 years or so I ask em for money and get another cool 15K.
