I have a decision that was working fine prior to the patch but is now no longer working in multiplayer games (including hotseat)

If I change it to AI=0 then the decision will fire but as AI=3 it never fires Below is the decision.

I added the word "hello" to the message so I can see it fire. If I change it to AI=0 it then works just fine.

My understanding is with AI=3 is that it will only fire if the Axis are AI controlled or in Multiplayer games which was working before.

Devs will give a better answer but my guess is that because Norway (78) has to be neutral and AI= 3 only fires on the Allied MP turn, it won't do anything. What happens if you change #COUNTRY_ID to 112 (UK)? I have only seen major IDs used in the original decision.txt. Other thought is to change the #VARIABLE_CONDITION= 5 [0] [0] [0] to #VARIABLE_CONDITION= 112 [2] [100] [0], although what you have should be OK (Argentina is neutral).

That's a good point, will try that later today

Yup it was the fact that Norway was leaning Axis with the AI=3 command. I needed to change the main decision to the UK to force it to always fire on the Allied turn.

Argentina is not in the game I use the command below to dummy it out
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 5 [0] [0] [0]

Thanks, sometimes you just need someone else to look at it to get the gears working

Glad it worked for you. The number of times I have stared at a script and not been able to see why it doesn't work is too many, so I know your feeling well.

Thanks for helping to sort that one out El_Condoro!
