Europa Universalis3 problems/issues

[SpartanV15]

ok well i got the game a few days ago and thought i was the only one with issues can anyone help me with my issues or is there a solution

1-one issue is when i exit the game it says the game is not responding then i have to re-validate and defragment the game cache

2-when im not online it says it failed to contact server key preventing me from playing offline does the game really need to be played with an internet connection?

those are the only bugs/problems and issues im experiencing at the moment i had the game for 4 days.Im getting a little frustrated over the problems and this game is amazing but someones gotta fix the problems.

1. That is a known error in 5.0 and is fixed in a 5.1 patch (the patches are still in beta stage)

2. It shouldn't prevent you from playing offline, just don't try to use paradox connect. It offers nothing extra, just a few achievements that are not tied to steam in any way.
