We've just released 1.29.4!

Patch Notes:
- Just some minor additions for experimental purposes (more information here)

These changes are minimal and should not affect save files or mods. In case a mod has specified 1.29.3 instead of 1.29.* for compatibility it will be listed as outdated in the launcher but should work anyway.

Previous:
1.29.3
1.29.2
1.29.1
1.29

As usual, please report any issues in our bug report forum or submit a support ticket. Thank you!
 
In addition to things which seem to be for your experiment, noticed the following changes to the game files between version 1.29.3 and 1.29.4:
  • added missing = sign in line 1768 of interface/general_stuff.gfx
  • changed "Muhammad Ibn al-Aḥmar" to "Muhammad Ibn al-Ahmar" in new_missions_l_spanish.yml (dot below the h removed)
  • "Abū" changed to "Abu" in the french description of the Andalusian idea "Legacy of Ibn Arabi"
  • some broken? characters removed from powers_and_ideas_l_spanish.yml
I didn't check all files, so maybe I missed something.
Is it intentional that these changes are part of the patch or were they accidentally included?
 
Short reminder to everyone who stumbles upon this post and knows what the experimental stuff is about:

We're going to test some stuff, but test results are not reliable if people know exactly what the test is. I'm sorry I can't be more clear what it's all about.

Please don't make a post or any public statement about the changes, in the interest of enabling future players easier access.

EDIT: Nevermind, the dam has broken after an impressive... 10 hours.
Feel free to post all you want.

a large stack of rebels in foreign territory were en route to nerf my exile army but for some reason there was no battle... is this new?
while your army is exiled, it will not fight any battles. That is not new
 
I just installed at a new PC and cannot start the game :-( When I click launch, the game loads, but I does not open up. I can alt-tap in to the game, but if I click anywhere on the screen, game do not respond. Weirdly enough, if I alt-tap out and alt-tap back in, the item I clicked on is marked...
However, alt-tapping between all clicks in the game makes is kinda difficult to play :)

Any suggestions?

Hmmm - chosing borderless fullscreen in the launcher seems to fix the problem...
 
When are you guys fixing the CK2->EU4 converter? payed good money for that stop fixing quality of life stuff and start fixing what we payed for
The converter is maintained (or not) by the CK2 team, not the EU4 team.

Is there even still a proper CK2 team?
Thought they'd have all moved on at this point.
