EU4: 1.32.1 Opt-In Beta Patch now Available! - Fixing PU AE Issue and more - checksum [702c]

[BjornB]

//EDIT// PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BETA PATCH IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR STEAM USERS - UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T MAKE IT AVAILABLE ON MICROSOFT OR EPIC - OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES ABOUT THAT //

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!

Thank you, Paradox Tinto!

 

[ArtFart]

Nice, thanks for the speedy fix!

 

[Zuru84]

To be honest I do not see 1.32.1 in my BETA droplist :c

 

[AldathPDX]

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).

Yup. I can see it after Steam restart. Thanks a lot!

This change was made in order to give players a bigger tine window to conquer these provinces before the AI converts them

Does anyone know how much time does this realistically give the province before it gets converted? Will Judaism be gone 30 years after the game start?

 

[alexandereuiv]

- 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

 

[MrSnert]

The Ajuuraan mission "Hydraulic Expertise" can now be completed if you drop the Ajuuraan ideas

Seems a bit strange. Because you’ll able to finish this this mission much faster now if you form Somalia, which you will be able to do a lot sooner (well before 1500 in my current run) than you’ll be able to get the required 5th national idea.
So Hydraulic Expertise is going from something peculiar and unique to Ajuuraan to something that you’re actually better and quicker off getting as other Somalis.

 

[ArtFart]

Do you know if the month tick crash has been fixed in this patch? (I've heard it's from specific monuments.) I'd like to play ironman again.

"- FIxed crash for the Yearly Authority modifier."

this may be it

 

[BoomKidneyShot]

The idea "Local Traditions" from the Humanist Ideas now increases Religious Harmonization Speed by +25%

YESS

 

[RMS Oceanic]

Looking at the code for the Court and Country modifiers:

#Court and Country

crushed_local_authority = { #Forever
    max_absolutism = 20
}

central_authority_asserted = { #Forever
    max_absolutism = -10
}

central_authority_subjected = { #For 10 years
    max_absolutism = -10
}

So the 65+ Absolutism outcome is correct now, but the 35-65 Absolutism outcome still incorrectly reduces Absolutism.

Still, thanks for the speedy response!

 

[augustuscaeser2]

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?

 

[RMS Oceanic]

It should be, but there are always risks. Make a backup before you try it.

 

[AldathPDX]

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.

DEVS i found something in adal's first mission tree , instead of giving 0.1 piety it gives 0.001 , is this intended ?

 

[Josar]

Does anyone know how much time does this realistically give the province before it gets converted? Will Judaism be gone 30 years after the game start?

You could always start as Ethiopia and convert to Judaism through rebels, or release Seimen.

 

[pgroves]

"Unrest caused by seizing from the estates does no longer stack for 10 years after the land has been seized."

Thank you, that was a horrible bug

 

[iMonstrosity]

So i installed the Beta, reloaded my campaign that was crashing consistently on the next month (also yearly) tick, and it no longer crashes. Thats a good sign.

 

[Renegade3231]

I continue to be impressed with Tinto’s ability to push out very quick hot fixes. It’s great to see and gives us players a lot more confidence in future DLCs.
