In-Depth Description

The cv command in Europa Universalis IV is a debugger command, which means its main purpose is to be used for debugging or developing processes during the game.

This command, when executed, prints the current game version that you are running on your system and then copies this information to your clipboard.

This command can be very helpful when you need to identify which version of the game you are currently running.

This may be required when troubleshooting game issues, comparing different game versions, or when trying to identify incompatibilities with mods or DLCs (Downloadable content).

It also allows easy sharing of the version information, as it automatically copies the result to your clipboard.

How to Open the Command Console

In EU4, cheats are executed from the command console, a text box that you type commands into.

To open the command console press the ~(tilde) key, which is typically located under ESC (escape).

If your keyboard does not have that key, or pressing ~ does not work, try the following keys:

  • ~
  • SHIFT + 2
  • SHIFT + 3
  • ALT + 2 + 1

Type your command into the console, and then press ENTER .
