Right now the 2.1 patch (for AHD) is in the beta. Not sure when it will become official.
Honestly, the Beta in it's current form is pretty messy. I can understand why it's taking so long for them to fix all the outstanding issues.
Just as long as the Democrats are in power as the CSA and the USA can't crush the world with a wave of it's hand in the official 2.2 patch, I'll be happy. Those are probably the two most glaring problems besides there being a problem with the election system in people somehow not voting for Jingoistic parties despite the majority of people supporting it as a political issue.

I'm speaking of the problems in the current build when I say messy. It's enough to make me not play the game right now. My game I'm on is EU3. It just got a beta patch the other day and....good god....it's beautiful.
You mean 2.2.
@Revnshawn - I don't think the beta is all that messy, though there are always things that could be improved. People have more issues to care about than just military policy, so they may be voting for someone else for that reason.
They also vote more based on ideology, so if your Jingo party is reactionary they might not get many votes etc. It's not much use to just say the patch is "messy" without any other details though.
I imagine he's referring to the CSA having the wrong party in power in the 1861 scenario, and the USA having vastly more military might than it should do. The first is hardly game-breaking, but the second kinda is.
there were a couple of problems, so we ended up getting so far with 2.3 that I felt it was worth just going with that as the release instead. There will be an update and dev diary later today. stay tuned, and sorry for the lack of updates lately (busy busy!)

podcat, please take a look at this thread http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?596665-Generals-and-Admirals-selection., it is about the Generals and Admirals, maybe some of the suggestions there are very easy implements to be included in a future patch
.
To clarify what I meant when I say "messy" I was referring to a various glitches with the battle system and election system. Some of them have been fixed with this latest patch, especially concerning the election system.
Take the following example. You've just won a battle and you've sent your troops towards the retreating enemy army. There is a glitch where if both of your armies arrive at the same province on the same day, some of the enemy units will downright refuse to show up for battle and you're fighting only part of the enemy army. It allows them to escape damage for that battle completely, thus raising the amount of time it takes to completely destroy that army and raising the chance the AI can summon reinforcements to rescue it. Therefore in war, I nearly always wait to arrive a day after the enemy arrives at his retreat province so that they can gain one day of morale and I can fight the full enemy army and not a partial one ((I'm pretty sure the glitch has something to do with the enemy units having 0 morale))
Secondly, a lot of time enemy units will be reduced to 0 troops in the beginning stages of a battle but will refuse to route in battle despite having completely been knocked out of combat. Meanwhile the artillery behind those dead units will continue to fire, granting them free turns of damage to your army. You see this happen very often when a army severely out-techs their enemy, but it happens commonly in regular wars too! It's just kind of a pain in the rear. I imagine a long line of troops gazing at artillery in the distance shooting them and the troops wondering to themselves "Shouldn't we do something about that?"
Finally as Nacelus said, the wrong party for the CSA is in power and that kind of bothers me since I'm from the South myself and I study on the Civil War pretty hardcore. And I hate seeing the USA being launched up to #1 in the GP's list simply because they mobilized their troops. "Messy" though is probably a poor choice of words, but at least now you guys know what I mean. It's just a lot of minor annoying stuff that trolls me when I'm trying to crush another army in an epic rawr. There is more that I could mention, but those are the major of my minor annoyances.
Still at the risk of sounding disingenious I want to say how much I appreciate this latest patch. Thank you very much! It's good to hear that you guys are still alive Podcat and friends!
