Hi,
Please find the notes for today’s update below. It includes both bug fixes and a rundown of known issues the developers are currently working on. It has been said in various official posts already but I want to reconfirm that we stay committed to updating the game over the coming days, weeks and however long it takes to get it to where it needs to be. We’d like to thank you for all your support and patience until now. The updates are planned for approx. every other day (2-3 times per week).
Now the Steam code is visible for those of you who bought the game there. Use it to register on the Paradox forum for tech support.
The manual is also updated, link here:

As always you are also welcome to contact us directly via Zendesk/our support. http://paradox.zendesk.com/anonymous_requests/new
Edit: The Monday Oct 31 update added an issue for some gamers, solved by many through running the game in 64-bit mode. Unsure on how to do that? Read the top question and answer in this thread.
Edit#2: This should be fixed now, and as a bonus the .net fx reinstall on launch is fixed as well.
