- The occupation exploit has been fixed.

Is that the one where you can instantly get 89% occupation of a province by starting to move out of it and then cancelling that order?

Copy the game out of your steamapp folder then extract patch on top of the copy, should be fine.

Could you please elaborate? Country-wide, per factory, what?

Still no auto-hunt rebel button for armies yet, but the occupation exploit fix is very appreciated.

- fixed issue with some sounds playing multiple copies at the same time

So no more wall of crackling distortion when a hundred railroads complete at once? <3

I can confirm this works with the Steam version using the following method.

- The occupation exploit has been fixed.

And there was much rejoicing.


Thanks!

 

[Arathian]

a new patch?!? I thought the previous one was final.

"- Fixed some code in the event manager which could cause out of synchs."
does this mean that the game will now go on de-synch only due to bad connection?

No, I still play it on Steam.

Program Files (x86) -> Steam -> Steamapps -> Common is where the Victoria 2 folder is.
Copy all the Patch files and folders into the Victoria 2 folder.
If you have the screwy OldVic panel alignment problems, download the fixes for them and put them into the Interface folder within Victoria 2. See this post.

Is it possible/a good idea to update from the former beta and keep playing on the same save? Or should I wait until I start a new one?

It's safer and strongly suggested you install the (new) beta in a copy of your game folder, you'll be able to play your old saved games with the previous version (you can have more than one working version installed on your PC), if a compatibility problem occurs.

Nice to see patch coming up for vanilla when expansion is in progress. Step in good direction!
