Hello there!

We had to release a small hotfix patch with the number 2.8.3.1 for a resurfaced bug relating to overly self-sacrificing AI. Hence, there won't be a roll-back for 2.8.3

Spoiler: Summer Patch 2.8.3

Hello everyone!

The summer patch is now live! It should be installing (like a charm) through Steam right now!

Have an awesome day!

Awesome. I'm not just singling out you, quite a lot of the front page articles are the same

 

[Aurelio123]

Cool

 

[Paxter Redwyne]

I don't see option to change back to 2.8.2, only to 2.8.1.1

No worries! That is actually a fair point!

"Bigger Interface" is once again, crashing the game. If anyone is experiencing crash on startup, make sure Bigger Interface is disabled till its developer updates it. Weirdly though, the changelog doesn't mention UI updates :/

Probably the problem

If this is the summer patch, does that mean that holy fury and its accompanying patch won't be out till the fall?

Checking on that, PM me if I don't reply to you before the end of the day!

Option to 2.8.2.1 should now be available! (It is the correct roll back since there were issues with 2.8.2).

We should expect it to be released during the Autumn, yes.

It has the exact same checksum as 2.8.2.0 did? that's absurdly unlikely. it's not a copy+paste error either, that really is the new checksum

EDIT: ah, because this reverts the only change to a checksummed file that 2.8.2.1 made, and otherwise doesn't touch checksummed files

 

[Already in Use]

This is all nice and stuff....

But did you guys fix the Horse Lords DLC so you can move from Nomadic to Feudal in MP? That DLC is broke because of this. It's kind of a big deal. It's GAME BREAKING!

 

[Arko]

Summer came early this year

 

[uncldead]

Did you add PDXCON Emperror characters to the game in this patch or it will be done later?

EDIT :
I haven't been able to reproduce the below mentioned rumour, but i just tried a little.
Maybe i didn't reproduce it the way its' required.
So...maybe everything's okay for a change...or maybe not.
Don't know.

EDIT_2: got confirmed, thus 2.8.3.1 followed

..and that (allegedly)* brought back self-sacrificing.
Brilliant move...
