Patch 1.11 known issues

[PanzerMan7]

They never worked like that. You need to start with communist focuses if you want them

That's not true according to the dev diary

The Baltics may also choose to do as they did historically: granting basing rights to either the Soviets or Germany, and eventually submitting to their occupation. Should the Baltics submit to Soviet occupation, they will switch to their shared communist branch.

Interesting, I missed that

Hello all! I hope you're having a good time with the Barbarossa patch and the No Step Back DLC.

• Convoy routes and supply naval connections sometimes produce unexpected results and disregard region block flags
  • Under investigation

Not sure if you're serious with these words, but would you mind me asking whether it would be cost effective (tm) for you to release a hotfix for this issue once it's resolved internally? Or, in other words, does this qualify as a critical issue?

We don't have a date for 1.11.5 at this stage, lots of people are still away this week.
Keep an eye on the open beta though

 

[DestinyCalls]

always glad for every fix you make and the hard work your putting in, thank you

Falangist Spain has got wrong 3D unit model

Yeah, that fixed it for me, thanks. Now I can play the naval game same as before.

One question, though: why would you omit Naval Invasion orders from the same logic? I.e. manual troop convoys (now) ignore red regions just fine, while the invading units still insist on going through them and subsequently require extra reshuffling with the outbound ports since you don't know where the 'arrows' will go beforehand.

It would be easy to cheese naval invasions then. Imagine a sealion going via the bay of biscay, the atlantic, then the western approaches. You toggle zone access to juggle an already planned invasion to move around only the tiles which you have momentary supremacy over.

Not really a concern in singleplayer, since there you can easily launch an invasion through the english channel with 20 subs and no capital ships anyway, but would be cancer in multiplayer.

Cheese? As i.e. Sweden, why should I ever look at the Channel? Nowadays I always invade the UK from Iceland and exactly via the western approaches for multiple tactical reasons. Used to do it via the Northern Sea, that is a worse option, yet still sane enough.

You don't use your tanks to attack through mountains unless there's no other option; you don't send your ships to a deathtrap either.

I don't quite get your point. If it's possible to launch invasions half a globe away, surely there's nothing wrong with re-routing.

Naval supremacy as a whole is a terrible mechanics in its implementation, but that's largely irrelevant here.

Known issues in 1.11

FYI: Brilliant/Inflexible Strategist traits are once again broken and no longer grant the +1 Attack/Defense and +1 Planning/Logistics as they should (as used to). It's easy to see as Harsh Leader works fine and grants that +1 Attack.

I uploaded a pic for you, and one can see that the figures simply don't match, provided +1 skill level grants 3 different stats.

Hello all! I hope you're having a good time with the Barbarossa patch and the No Step Back DLC.
As usual for new releases we are keeping an eye on bug reports and I'll try to keep the list of known issues found so far, as well as their fixes or workarounds.

If you want an early look at the upcoming patches, you can check-out the 1.11.5 open beta patch.

Also, remember that following a large release like 1.11 most mods are likely to be incompatible and be either seriously bugged or outright crash the game.

  • Fixed in 1.11.4
• Game goes out-of-sync when playing with different translation

I just wanted to bring attention to what I think is a bug in the Soviet Union's Bukharinist pathway. I played Bukharin and went towards restoring democracy in the part following a coup against Stalin. Despite finishing the restoration of democracy in the party however, Left Opposition advisers continue to be permanently locked. The tool-tip indicates that the game still believes Ivan Smirnov & Co. to still be in jail despite the fact that they have no reason to be there. Thank you for your time.

I don't know if this has already been commented on but several things that I have seen so far don't work with the new patch 1.11/NSB:

Playing with the Soviet Union:

- Even completing the behead the snake focus, Trotsky is not killed and the -20% stability of the Trotskyist plot is not removed.
- When Spain relocates gold reserves, no modifier appears.

Playing as China:

- Completed the focus of forming the United Front, Communist China always rejects it and does not join the alliance against Japan.

Playing with the Soviet Union:

- Even completing the behead the snake focus, Trotsky is not killed and the -20% stability of the Trotskyist plot is not removed.

Completing that focus will unlock an operative mission to Assassinate Trotsky in Mexico. You will need a Intelligence agency, and 50% spy network strength in Mexico to start that mission.

Once the mission completes successfully, it will change the Trotskyite Plot stability nerf from -20% to -5%. I'm not sure if you can ever get rid of that last -5% to stability.

Same thing happens in Germany too; after the civil war you cant assign commanders neither in Military High Command nor as Theorists nor giving them traits. Its a common bug after new States created.
I just wish Developers notice it.

Apparently, the rolls for trait itself and the stat addition are separate, as it's still possible to get the result one expects initially, albeit it takes time: both generals were recruited the same day under same conditions while paused (with CP being added via console).

 

[asianinvasion531]

On my game on 1.11.5 with correct checksum and no mod at all, the free France still isn’t showing months after Vichy france is established. But it says already fixed. How do I deal with this?

[Oops we run into some..]

Was playing as Austria with historical ai focus. Was still fighting in sep 1940 but Germany never declear war on any other nation after the failed anscluss. Poland joined alies and soviets attacked Poland ending up war between Uk and Soviets. France never entered the war. Italy joined Axis and ened up attacking Yugoslavia jul 1940, Germany didint join in the war, Yugo joined alies. At that point I justified on Soviets and France just to see what happens. Germany ended up giving France military acces even tough their faction members were on war with each other. With retry Germany again refused to attack Poland. Ai Germany does not seem to justify any wargoals or go torwards war goals on focus tre if it does not hold Viena. Bouth times germany did take Tsek and Memmel via national focus.

 

[hunberserker]

If Germany turns democratic there's an event if Poland is being invaded by the Soviets, where they'll transfer Danzig and Poznan to the Germans. The issue is they do transfer Danzig (id:85) and Poznan (id:86) states but not the newly added Gdynia (id:807) state, which should be included in the event. (It should be according to the event description at the very least)
