Patch 1.1.3 is now live!

[PDX_Pariah]

Greetings Crusaders!

The time has come for another Hotfix! While this particular Hotfix centered primarily on fixing bugs and addressing issues, we definitely wanted to keep you all in the loop and informed to changes happening in the game.

Please make sure you continue to report any issues you might find and provide us with your feedback, thoughts, and suggestions so that we can continue to improve the game for us all.

# Bugfixes
###################
- Fixed some crashes during gameplay that occurred in certain edge-cases
- Fixed a startup crash for CPUs with less than 4 logical cores that was introduced in the 1.1 patch
- Fix some cases when border wouldn't update properly and stay around in a permanent state
- Lowered the thresholds for graphical army quality, more of the spectrum appear now
- Opinion of liege now shows the correct name for the tooltip in the vassals tab in the character window
- Fixed combat predictions getting increasingly inaccurate the more men at arms are involved
- Fixed Fertility acceptance modifiers in marriages/betrothals incorrectly claiming that fertile men were infertile
- Fixed the AI being happy to accept betrothals that would ultimately lead to no children, as the woman would have passed the fertility threshold age before the man comes of age (with a 2 year margin)
- The Carolingian Consolidation achievement should now be available when launching the game from the Paradox Store
- Fixed an issue that could cause one letter realm names to be displayed upside down

I hope that fixes the AI not wanting to jump into really large battles. About 85% of the time the AI army will happily follow me into engagements, but that remaining 15% it'll just move/cancel in adjacent territories while I'm fighting a crusade stack at 20k vs 30k and the AI's 25k army would've easily made the difference. Since the AI logic generally works, I'm assuming inaccurate combat predictions were messing with their willingness to get involved.

This is purely a UI thing - the AI does not use the prediction logic from this UI element. That said, we're working on making the AI support battles better in general for the next bigger patch (no ETA on it yet). In the meantime, providing saves in the bug forums with situations where the AI really should but doesn't support a battle would be fantastic. Especially in instances like these, as it might be caused by some specific edge-case.

I'm guessing this one is save-game compatible too right?

Yes

Still no achievements fix? How hard can it be to fix so that "Starting as Character X" would work?

We should have fixed the 'starting as' achievements in the 1.1 patch, or are you referring to something else?

Nice!
Anything big planned? I mean not just bug-fix. Something changing, enhancing the gameplay.

Maybe...

However, I would like to report some problems with Chinese localization that have existed since version 1.1.

This thread isn't for bug reports, so your issues might be missed if you don't report them in the dedicated bug forum!
Head over here and make a report with what you wrote here, and it'll be picked up by QA!

As a general note - if an issue is posted in the bug forums and it's gotten a reply, it's in our database. If it's a severe issue, chances are that we're looking into it for the next big patch. Issues such as corrupted saves or sudden game-overs are definitely classed as severe, as is much else.

 

[rageair]

Is the inverse also true: that if an issue didn't get a reply, it's not in any database?

No, the inverse is not true. Sometimes it might be a duplicate, or sometimes the issue is resolved in the comments, or sometimes we've simply not gotten to responding to it yet. There's many reasons why a thread might not have a reply.

 

[rageair]

Does this mean that if it has not gotten a reply, the issue has been missed? In other words, does every issue that gets added to the database also receive a reply?

I answered this earlier, but I'll do it again for visibility: no, not getting a reply does not mean it has been missed. Things can get added to the database without receiving a reply.
