This patch is pretty much viable evidence that PDX does not load their game in 1444, let alone start the timer, use console commands, or run observer games. Disregarding all the balance and gameplay issues, the fundamentals are just broke.
Some absolutely egregious crap out of the many:
Literal placeholder images and lack of localization in several areas, including Sikhism and government reforms.
Australian & Polynesian natives using westerngfx because they were not given proper graphics without the DLC (not even N.American native models)

Polynesian tech group not having any graphic assigned to it. I had to dig into the code to make sure that the group even existed. Also, Aboriginal tech group uses High American icon (are you that lazy).

Ayutthaya not getting Siam formable at all without the DLC, since their missions (along with other SEA majors) are locked behind the DLC. Totally legitimate to have a work in progress line in the official patch release!! (also, look at that file name, classic Portugese move).
Missionary Strength +100% still in the game, despite being noticed by many people during the streams as a bug.
Governing Capacity can flow negative, making the Tribal polities in the Champa highlands some of the easiest tags to WC with.
Literally no PROV_ADJ localization for some of the new provinces.

No unit model definitions for many new tags, not even the "generic" Lan Xang units from the Buddhist pack that is given to literally everyone, even the Shan states and Champa.
There is so much more, but find it yourself. Maybe actually go in-game instead of just loading up the title screen to make sure it doesn't crash?
Also, this isn't a horrendous fundamental bug, but you know I have to complain about this:

"guys culture is not related to language anymore"
* proceeds to make patch that has culture with language more than logic, ruining the previously far superior monolithic SEA culture group
Obviously, Vietnamese in Chinese group is the first thing I'm removing, for the sake of sanity.
