No the trainer causes the game to crash using the #4 trainer. It was working fine before I restarted Steam for the update so just seems to be incompatible now

Thats no surprise!
The main informations and dates have been changed!
So..
You have to wait for the Patch #5 Trainer! =)
But I think it won't be long!
Just patience!

I know that I was just saying it so people dont waste there time trying #4 trainer incase

Ahh
Thats a good way to tell it the people!

I've gotten into playing Rome again so I'll wait a while for the next trainer.

I was definitely bummed when I tried to play before work and couldn't....hey, do any of you recommend the trainer for Europa Universalis 3, or is the games cheat console enough?

Eeek need a #5 trainer for ETW!.

The horrible wait to research something that take 15+ turns is wacked.
