这个工具已废弃
- 请使用 CWTools 代替。
- 验证器将不会被更新为 Eu4 1.30 补丁或者未来的 Eu4 补丁。对应 1.29 的修复可能做,按作者的决定。
The Validator is a utility tool for Windows, allowing to find all sorts of errors inside the game files. It has found numerous bugs, both in vanilla and in mods.
It is sometime the only way to locate the source of some random CTDs or some weird engine bugs.
Validator is updated regularly, and the number of false positives is constantly shrinking. If the Validator reports an error that you don't think is an error, first make sure it actually does work and then report it to the forum thread, where Jamie550 will make the necessary corrections as soon as practically possible. In a similar way, if you discover a bug that wasn't detected by the Validator and cost you some time, report it as well!
