Greetings everyone!

Yesterday we released 1.32 Songhai for each and everyone. Unfortunately the update contained a fix for Aggressive Expansion from Personal Unions which previously was too low - but with the fix it got too high. This issue has been fixed in this 1.32.1 patch - along with a number of other things like a bug where people without Conquest of Paradise saw an unnatural increase in development cost from Army Tradition. You can read the full patchnotes below.

1.32.1 is not yet ready for full release as it requires more testing - but we wanted to give you a possibility to play EU4 1.32 Songhai without the above glaring issues over the weekend so we'll release it now as an opt-in beta patch.

How to opt-in to 1.32.1:
1. Right click Europa Universalis IV in Steam and go to Properties
2. Go to the BETAS menu and pick 1.32.0.1_beta in the dropdown list
3. Close the window and let the game update in Steam

Please report any problems with 1.32.1 (or 1.32 for that matter) in the Bug Report forum! Make sure you put what version of the game you are playing in the thread title (ex [1.32] or [1.32.1]) to help us organize the reports - thank you!

Here's the full patchnotes for 1.32.1!
###################
# Gamebalance
###################
# Governments
- The Shogunate can no longer switch their primary culture

# War & Peace
- Reduced AE gained from PU. Austria no longer gets coalition when enforcing PU with Bohemia.

###################
# Script
###################
# Achievements
- The achievement "Knights of the Caribbean" does no longer require you to stay as the Knights to complete it
- The achievement "Surfing USA" can now be achieved if your country moves the capital to the new world and form the USA manually instead of using a former colonial nation to do so

# Decisions
- The decision "Build the Third Temple" now highlights Jerusalem if the conditions are not met to enact this decision
- United Hawai can now see the "Form American Nation" decision if they have their capital in North or South America. This change is mostly made for the achievement

# Events
- The AI will now always choose +1 Stability from the event "The Kingdom Semien" and the Jewish provinces gain a hidden modifier for 25 years, which remove the religious unity contribution. This change was made in order to give players a bigger tine window to conquer these provinces before the AI converts them
- The event "The Papal State" will no longer trigger for the united Holy Roman Empire

# Ideas
- The idea "Devoutness" from the Religious Ideas now gives +0.1 Monthly Piety, +0.5 Yearly Patriarch Authority, +0.1 Yearly Karma Decay, +1 Yearly Doom Reduction and +0.15 Yearly Authority (I doubt the last two modifiers will make a big difference though, but who knows.)
- The idea "Local Traditions" from the Humanist Ideas now increases Religious Harmonization Speed by +25%

# Missions
- The Ajuuraan mission "Hydraulic Expertise" can now be completed if you drop the Ajuuraan ideas
- The Ethiopian mission "Unite the Horn" no longer requires you to have the province Fazughli colonized
- The Kilwan mission "The Uncharted South" and the Mutapan mission "Uncover the South" have now an additional mission requirement in order to hinder the African AI to colonize the Cape frequently

# Modifiers
- Being over the Governing Capacity now decreases Tribal Development Growth (-100% at 100% over the capactiy)
- The modifier "Crushed Local Authority" from Court and Country now gives +20 Max Absolutism instead of -20
- The modifier "Rome Reborn" now gives +1.5 more Prestige, 1 Diplomatic Upkeep, +0.25 Legitimacy, +1 Tolerance of the True Faith, +1% Global Missionary Strength and -25% Mercenary Cost

# Other
- The government reform "Tribal Confederacy" is no longer available for other tribes unless they start with it
- Removed Hampi monument requirement for Hindu country with Buddha as personal cult, as it already has Dharmic religious groups as a requirement.
- Removed Ellora Caves monument requirement for Hindu country with Buddha as personal cult, as it already has Dharmic religious groups as a requirement.
- Changed Brandenburg Gate monument Tier 3 Militarization of State to 0.05.
- Changed Baiturrahman Grand Mosque Tier 3 Area Local unrest to -2.
- Added Global ship trade power and Prestige from naval battles modifiers to Cartagena de Indias monument.
- Added Devotion modifier to Malbork Castle monument.


###################
# Bugfixes
###################
- Improved great project UI to show GPs that can be built if all criteria are fulfilled other than cost
- Game will not crash when Mod is lacking icons for the unit tab. There will be entry in error.log instead.
- The achievement "KHAAAAAAN" is no longer locked behind starting as one of three formables, which don't even exist at the game start
- The achievement "One nation to rule them all" does no longer require you to start as Saruhan as they don't exist in 1444
- The achievement "Fugger Banking" has no longer a double negative check for the amount of provinces you own

- The estate rebel events of Mali's disaster now spawn as many rebels as the tooltip says

- Assam has now the proper Indian unit types instead of the Chinese units
- The policy "Faith Advisors" now has a monthly piety bonus of +0.1 instead of +10
- City of Prague vanished after taking province.
- Imperial City of Hue only gives 1/1.5% karma decay.
- Changed Fuerte del Morro monument Blockade force required modifier from country to provincial scope.
- Changed Cartagena de Indias monument modifiers Blockade force required and Hostile fleet attrition from country to province scope.
- Fixed Malta Forts Hostile disembark speed modifier scope, so now it's provincial instead of global.
- Fixed bug of Kashi Vishwanath monument (changed 'Keep' trigger requirements to 'Can use' trigger).
- Repair ships mission will choose province with maximum repair speed when faced with a choice of several that are the same number of days away.
- Fixed crash when hovering over units integrated from a country with units in TI.

To be honest I do not see 1.32.1 in my BETA droplist :c
It's actually called "1.32.0.1_beta". You might have to restart Steam in order to see it (I had to, at least).

Thank you for the speedy fix - I am sure it was a long night. Should the beta be compatible with saves from the normal version?
Hard to say. There hasn't been enough time to properly test everything, and depending on where you're at in the game, there might be some incompatibilities. We always recommend to start a new run when we have a new patch.

If your old saves, some of the bugs we fixed could still be active and will not appear as fixed for you unless you start a new game.

Feel free to continue your game, but better make a backup before that. If it works, great, but if you encounter awkward issues that were already supposed to be fixed with this hotfix, you should probably either start a new one or continue playing the old save in 1.32.

- The achievement "Surfing USA" can now be achieved if your country moves the capital to the new world and form the USA manually instead of using a former colonial nation to do so

This still lacks:

OR = {
AND = { is_former_colonial_nation = yes

colonial_parent = {
OR = { tag = HAW tag = MAU tag = OAH tag = KAA tag = UHW } } }

tag = HAW tag = MAU tag = OAH tag = KAA tag = UHW }

So you still can't get the achievement as a United Hawai'i
Yeah, I know of that. Sorry about it, it couldn't get in the beta fast enough.
Will be fixed for the hotfix though

Anyone got an idea what the PU modifier was updated to? It was .1 before Songhai, then .8 after Songhai.

Thanks in advance!
Should be .2 now, I believe.

Fugger banking is not fixed. It only solved half of the problem. Sending more than 40% to 3 great power and not triggering

View attachment 772961
Got it covered for the hotfix (sorry that it didn't make the cut for the beta)

EDIT: the "tag = UHW" is not really necessary to make the achievement doable. There was so much going on that I thought it was missing in the wrong place @_@

Is this patch available in Epic Games too?

Unfortunately not - Steam only :(

I guess I should have made that clear in the post. I'm still a bit unused to the fact people actually have other options than Steam these days

I just tested England today with this hotfix. Still PU of England - France caused a lot of AE. Almost half of HRE countries joined the Coalition against England. It seems you haven't solved the issue.

England's economy in this new patch is worse than the Levithan one. I am not sure if you have reduced income's base of all regions in the game or just England.
This is WAD. It's supposed to be really high to PU France as England. It makes sense, in real world, no country in Europe would ever allow that PU to happen without strong opposition. It's the same ingame. You'd be way to strong if you could just PU France with no opposition.
I felt that it’s appropriate neighbour’s response as you will become one of the most powerful country on the continent, also you can avoid the coalition with strong alliance.

Any idea when it'll be available on EPIC (and Microsoft)? We, 2nd class players, need it as bad! ;)
We care about all players, but there is no option to release beta patch. We plan to release full patch next week for all platforms.
will achievements be ruined with this patch? (as it says at load screen after opting in)

I was able to unlock achievements with the current beta version, so there shouldn’t be

Yeah, unfortunately Microsoft and Epic does not support beta patches in the same way Steam does. We can only make full releases there and unfortunately (and contrary to the belief of some) each of our updates needs to undergo testing before it can be releases - which means it can't go fully live just yet :/

This does not mean that we rate you guys on Epic or Microsoft any less. We're so happy that the new platforms allowed for you to discover our games - and we will do our best to ensure that your experience is just as good as that on Steam. Unfortunately there are some things (or knowledge on our part?) that doesn't exist there at this point.

I am still waiting on the condotierri morale fix....
I think this will be fixed for 1.32.2 patch (1.32.1 being the 'normal' version of the beta we released last Friday [1.32.0.1], plus a few more changes).

Do you guys think there is a chance to get a live patch tomorrow? I'm wondering whether I should start a new campaign tonight.

If you are on Steam you can just get the beta patch and start with that and the transition to full release should be seamless.

But yeah, it should be out today or tomorrow

Locking this thread now as this beta is no longer active - 1.32.1 is now the live version of the game and everyone should get it if they opt out of all beta branches
