ETA [AndrewT]:
Save game compatibility is not and can never be 100% guaranteed across a major patch in any Paradox Development Studio game.
If you have valued games started under 1.07 and have Steam, before 15th November you will have to take steps to STOP Steam applying 1.08 automatically - check with Steam on how to do that.

Or copy your ck2 game files to another folder on your hard-drive and start the game using ck2.exe from there. Then you can play the new patch and also continue any old games.

Uh.. what does this mean? That any other religions automatically have the screen disabled..? I use that with certain Christian functions enabled and they have their own local religious heads.
 
I'm not sure if somebody has asked this or if this is even the right thread to ask this question in. But will you be able to mod which kingdoms becomes autocephalous patriarchies when playing as an orthodox character, or should i just stay away from creating kingdoms as i have done so far.
 
The tracking what mods people run thing is cool. Can we get a list posted once a month on the top 10 mods?

The change to independence thing is HUGE however.
 
Could we get more info on this please?

Otherwise, the patch looks good. Not a huge supermegapatch, but we didn't expect that.

For the Scheme job, you don't have to choose between all the different approaches now when confronting a vassal. Instead, only those that work will be visible among the options (so you'll see threaten if the vassal is craven, etc).
