Hi everyone! We've been hard at work addressing a variety of issues that have been reported or discovered internally. It is quite a lot, and we want to be careful and take time to test it further. But it includes some fixes and changes that we felt were important for our players, and putting them in an opt-in open beta is a great way to test them over the weekend (and for people who have run into the issues and can't wait for a real patch).
Why beta patch and should you download it:
We do open beta patches to make sure we get a lot of testing and catch new issues before a patch goes live.
So, if you know how to use beta patches and dare to live a little dangerously (I wouldn't attempt ironman on this build tbh in case it ruins your save), and would love to help then check this out. I am not going to promote this patch outside the forum because, well, its beta and not fully supported. If you run into problems, just roll back to default version.
Note that just because a reported issue isn't listed below doesn't mean its forgotten or that we aren't prioritizing it. Just that it hasn't gotten a fix yet. The point of the patch is to make sure the stuff we listed is ok, not necessarily fix more stuff. So questions like "Have you fixed X yet" is best answered by doing a search through the patchlog below, or test yourself. More fixes than whats below will keep coming in future updates.
So to make stuff super clear:
This is BETA. meaning we haven't even QA tested all the things ourselves.
Its here so we get help with that and can release a real patch faster and in a better shape
It could all crash and burn, if that is scary just keep playing 1.9.0 and let others help with BETA testing.
Additionally, please post all bug reports in the proper forum here - https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/hearts-of-iron-4-bug-reports.951/
Initial Patchlog 2020-02-28:
Update 2020-03-04 (9a9b)
Update 2020-03-11 (2628)
Update 2020-03-18 (f08e)
Update 2020-03-25 (05ef)
Update 2020-04-01 (3d42)
So how do I get this?
1. In steam right click the game in the list of games and pick Properties
2. Go to the Betas tab
3. in the drop-down select 1.9.1_beta (if it doesnt appear you might have to restart steam)
4. Close Properties. Steam should now queue up an update and will display the game in the list as Hearts of Iron IV [1.9.1_beta]
5. if all went well the last bit of the version number in launcher should match the one mentioned in this thread title - which should be the correct checksum.
6. Once we go official you can just remove the beta branch and go back to main by doing this again and selecting NONE.
If this seems even a little bit complicated just skip it and wait for patch to become official.
Other notes:
- Should be savegame compatible with 1.9.0

- Anarchist divisions now spawn with only 25% equipment (unless the player/AI went down the Anarchists branch). This should make Anarchist Spain's starting position much weaker.

- Relocate Government to Batavia focus now also adds 70 compliance to Indonesian states.
- It is now no longer possible to avoid the Carlist/Anarchist uprisings by ending the Spanish Civil War before their timers expire. The timers will now continue until expiring, and, if the opposing faction (Republicans or Nationalists) has been defeated already, a new civil war will begin with the Carlists or the Anarchists (Franco can avoid this by taking the Fuse the Parties focus, as normal). New news events and descriptions for existing events have been added for these situations. The Civil War will now only be considered 'ended' when all factions have been defeated, or Franco takes the Fuse the Parties focus.
- France now has the correct heavy battery and secondary battery unlocked in 1936 (MtG only)
- Slightly adjusted A Great Spain and The Popular Front focus placement to be more central.
- Increased the strength of the focuses contained within the Expand Soviet Aid branch, to make these more useful and worth the repercussions. Also made them impact Communism support more.
- Reduced surrender limit offset (mninimum surrender limit) for Republican and Anarchist Spain in the Death Before Surrender spirit to 5%, down from 15%.
- Added an additional 5% neutrality support to both Safeguard the Freedom of Worship and Integrate the Requetés, making it easier for Francoist Spain to remain below 40% fascism support, in case they want to join the Allies.
- Changed the country names for Galicia and added party names for Spanish releasables

- War propaganda mission can now always be taken as long as there is intelligence network strength on targeted state
- British Coerce Spain focus no longer influences Anarchist Spain.
- Fixed a DLC check issue with base game only lend lease
- fixed historical unit leaders getting their genders randomly assigned if not specified
- fixed an oos due to random variables
- Allows Portugal to remove the Unstable Republic national spirit when taking focuses 'Join the Axis' and 'Honor Anglo-Portuguese Alliance'
- The Stalinist Doctrine and Anti-Fascist Unity are now only 35 days, making it possible for the Stalinists to reach Anti-Fascist Unity before the Anarchists rise up.
- fixed a broken trigger in the Expand the Burma Road decision.
- 1939 Spain start will now correctly have cores on historically Nationalist territory, and resistance will be correctly initialized on Republican states, allowing for re-coring via the decision system, as intended. Also removed cores of a superfluous Nationalist Spain tag.
- Fixed issues with the Spanish Civil War ending news events giving seemingly randomized combinations of titles and event texts. They should now properly reflect the SCW ending situation.
- fixed intel network max planning penalty not applying to enemy
- Fixed the Fascist Referendum decision incorrectly being available for the Carlists. Also made requirements more stringent for the Referendum decisions for all other Spanish factions.
- fixed two game rules not working (Volunteers freely available and Hungary set to go Communist)
- Taking any focus that removes or reduces 'autonomy' in Galicia, Pais Vasco, or Catalunya, while not controlling some of these states, will now remove or reduce 'autonomy' of these states when you take control of them.
- Updated Belarusian division names with proper spellings
- Fixed an issue where formable nations decisions category was using an incorrect asset
- Galicia should now have appropriate historical party leaders

- fixed some declare war pop up description issues
- France can no longer start border wars over her colonies if at war with the controller of those colonies
- Fixed an issue where, when the SCW starts, the other side did not have any cores on any of the Spanish states.Now both sides (Nationalists and Republicans) should have cores on all Spanish states upon the start of the SCW.
- Fixed an issue where Spanish Civil War factions did not have their cores initialized correctly, resulting in erroneous minimum surrender limit calculation. This resulted in Republican Spain having a surrender limit or 40%, rather than the intended limit of 15%. Together with the adjustment to the minimum surrender limit in the Death Before Surrender spirit for the Republicans, this should mean Republican Spain is much more difficult to capitulate now.
- The Iberian Pact is now bypassed if Portugal is already in a faction.
- Updated Portuguese Anarchism and Regional Defense Council of Iberia bypass and available triggers. Portuguese Anarchism should now bypass if you own their European states, ensuring you cannot get stuck on this focus as long as you do. Regional Defense Council of Iberia requires ownership of these same states.
- Ensured the Independence War news event for Spain shows the correct localization (it was referring to the wrong nation).
- Reworked AI weights on Limited Self-Rule and Lusotropicalism. Portugal AI will not choose Limited Self-Rule while ruling party is non-aligned or fascist.

- Swapped Alfredo da Silva's and Duarte Pacheco's advisor traits.
- Portuguese puppets will not get opinion penalty with Portugal upon completion of The Fifth Empire focus.
- Join the Comintern, Join the Allies, Honor Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, Join the Axis and The Royal Iberian Alliance focuses now require Portugal to not be in a faction and will get canceled if so.
- Completing Estado Novo focus will now lock Alvaro Cunhal as political advisor.
- Fixed issue with the chance of ships revolting during Navy Mutiny event.

# Balance
##################################
- operations will now higher cost as you execute same operation on same targets (default is 15%. rescue operation is still 0%. Some exceptions are 25%)
- neutral countries no longer allowed to create collaborations
- compliance is now halved (instead of factored by 75%) when a state controller is changed
- destroying the counter-revolution now prevents France from descending into another civil war against the fascists from low stability again
- Danzig and Memel are no longer required for forming Poland-Lithuania
- Memel is no longer required for forming the United Baltic States
- Political violence can no longer return to France if France has capitulated
- unprepared offensive modifier in SCW now also affect CAS impacts
- Decrease Base manpower lost in resistance attack to 1.5% from 2.5%
- Along with Niceto Alcalá-Zamora as a leader, the Republicans will now, after the 1936 elections, receive a National Spirit reducing their political power income. Along with Zamora's trait and various tweaks and adjustments made to the political power gained through events and Republican focuses, this should make the flow of Garrison Control fighting before the SCW much more natural. Now, Nationalists get an initial advantage and a 'head start', but if the Republicans correctly focus on delaying the civil war initially, they will be rewarded and eventually be able to take more states back from the Nationalists than if they focus on taking states from the very start. Delaying the civil war should therefore be more enticing as a strategy.
- Increased tech stealing bonuses to 300% from 200%
- Increased tech stealing extra bonus outcomes to also give either 1 or 2 year ahead of time bonuses also
- Tech stealing can now unlock techs, uses weights on tech picking to prefer more up to date and equipment for a more rewarding bonus

- Fix sound effect for light armour fire. Now it has more DAKKA
So how do I get this?
1. In steam right click the game in the list of games and pick Properties
2. Go to the Betas tab
3. in the drop-down select 1.9.1_beta (if it doesnt appear you might have to restart steam)
4. Close Properties. Steam should now queue up an update and will display the game in the list as Hearts of Iron IV [1.9.1_beta]
5. if all went well the last bit of the version number in launcher should match the one mentioned in this thread title - which should be the correct checksum.
6. Once we go official you can just remove the beta branch and go back to main by doing this again and selecting NONE.
If this seems even a little bit complicated just skip it and wait for patch to become official.
Other notes:
- Should be savegame compatible with 1.9.0
