Just curious, now that the game is out in some areas, if Paradox intends to release an immediate 1.01 patch like with HOI?

I was aiming for a friday release of a patch, because of several reasons.
1) Thats when the game is released.
2) I'm a dork who prefer improving AI and balancing the game instead of taking a vacation.
3) I'm a firm believer in the fact this if someone forks out some cash where I eventually may get 0.01$ of it, they deserve to have the latest tweaks ASAP.

Thank you Johan!
Even though I won't get the game til next Wednesday, I'll probably download the patch ASAP.
Can't wait to see the readme.

Here it is..
"Tweaked some stuff."
People see vacations in different ways. I see a vacation as getting off work, getting the game running, and then unplugging the phone line. That could just be me though.
Paradox is GREAT.. Already tweaking their game and making it better. Of course, I would enjoy it more if I had the game. Waiting for the NA release...
A patch already? I'm impressed.
If I recall though, there's always a problem with Strategy First posting the patches after Paradox completes them.
Anyway, still impressive.

Actually with Gold versions going out 2-3 weeks before the game release I guess the real question is why other developers don't do this.
Paradox + betas can't get it right 100% first time (or Johan would be working for the World Bank developing economic models rather than coding strategy games) so its always a moving target.
And when the game goes live the sum of forum knowledge + testing volume is always >> than sum of beta tester resources so patching will always continue. Of course the same goes for opinions too so its not always easy
And it helps that Johan doesn't have any holidays

Thanks, Johan. Good to know you guys are staying true to form...not that I expected anything less, but it's still nice to know that whatever bugs are still out there are being hunted down as we speak.
Must be something on the job application at Paradox...

If you check no, then your app is in the trash.

Are you calling Johan...Patric?
Patrics the guy without any armies...*teeheheheheh*
Okay...this is great news!!
I was afraid at first that they would wait for it to be released in America too before releasing the patch.

As far as EB and amazon.com go, it ships the 18th. It will be in stores on the 19th.
Without giving out false hope, though, I'd recomend checking EB or other retailers the 18th anyway. EU2 arrived at my local EB the same day it shipped.

I'm old, so I can really say this with some historical background: I have never seen a software developer (not just games, but software) that supports its product as well as Paradox does. Kudos, and keep 'em coming!
