Sorry for not checking back here after asking my own question. I was knocked out by a fever. Thank you tommo8993 for reminding me to come back here.
The answers to the questions you put forth are as following (as far as my knowledge extends):
1. I will prepare a statement about the current state of development shortly. There are issues that are reported that the developers simply have not been able to recreate and resolve. Which leads me to...
2. If you have serious technical issues with the game making it unplayable. Please open a ticket at paradox.zendesk.com and describe the issue and state your steam account name (the name you use when you log in to steam, do NOT give out your password).
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
If you have any problems with a game published by Paradox Interactive and dont know who to turn to you can ALWAYS turn to me and I will do my best to point you in the right direction, unless I can help you myself.
Best Regards
