EU5 1.4.7: Check a Trade Range Distance Surcharge

Match the symptom to the exact 1.4.7 note

Patch 1.4.7 is dated November 3, 2026 and lists checksum 66ac. Its economy note addresses one specific mismatch: a market shown inside trade range should not pay a distance surcharge because the range check now uses the same route cost as transport. That does not say every trade cost disappears.

Reproduce it without changing the campaign

Use the same market pair and trade entry that showed the warning. Do not treat a tariff icon or general transport cost as proof that the distance-surcharge bug remains.

1. Check the installed game build and checksum against the official 1.4.7 note; confirm you are not using a beta, rollback or modded setup.
2. Open the same market pair and record whether the UI explicitly labels the charge as a distance surcharge.
3. Record the route shown, origin and destination markets, trade good, displayed trade-range status and any tariff/subvention indicator.
4. Recheck the same route after confirming the current branch; avoid changing multiple trade orders before capturing the original symptom.

Do not infer that tariffs or route economics were fixed

Patch 1.4.7's quoted behavior is narrow: it aligns the trade-range check with the transport route cost. The 1.4 trade diary separately describes tariffs and subventions as tools affecting foreign trade. A tariff, minimum-profit setting, lack of capacity, missing goods or route eligibility can still prevent the outcome you want; the patch note is not a profitability formula.

Where to report a reproducible mismatch

Paradox's announcement links official bug-report resources, while Steam discussions are player-to-player. Use the official bug-report route for a reproducible 1.4.7/66ac discrepancy and label any discussion replies as community advice, not confirmation.

1. Attach a screenshot or short capture with personal account details removed.
2. Include the exact checksum, whether the build is modded, both market names and the displayed cost label.
3. Say whether the market is shown inside trade range and include the route visible in the UI.
4. Do not promise a workaround unless Paradox documents or confirms one.

Before you play

• Confirm official 1.4.7 and checksum 66ac.
• Verify the displayed charge is specifically a distance surcharge.
• Record the same market pair, route and trade item.
• Use official bug reporting for a reproducible mismatch.
