Awesome! Why was it not in the 2.5 patch itself though?
 
So does that mean conclave is out? (Because it does not show up in my dlc eventhough I got the preorder key and unlocked it hours ago). Also the game crashes to desktop after load or starting a new game

Amazing patch good job! Really like the temporary opinion boost in succesion as in great empires vassals rebel all the time as soon as there's a succession and many times you can do nothing to prevent that.
 
I don't know what to do, I usually wait for the bug fix patch, but now it's out before the expansion even arrived.

As a modder said once, CK 2 patches are in active development for 60-90 days after release. You aint see nothin' yet.

The 2.5.0 had to be completed weeks in advance, but since we still kept most of the team intact, we could start patching right away. 2.5.1 passed testing yesterday, so we decided to give it to you asap.

Day 1 patch from PDS? Is this a first?

We did it for horse lords too.

You'll have to wait until 15:00 Gmt+1 or so until Conclave is being sold.
You should probably make sure you haven't made any modifications to your game and that you aren't running any mods. If the problem persists, please post in the bug forum and we'll look at the crash and see if it can be hotfixed.

- Plot backers who are Muslim unless they are sinful will no longer get drunk and spill the beans.

Does this mean that non-sinful Muslims are now the perfect plot backers who won't ever reveal plots beforehand? Or are there new events to make them also have a chance now?
