Patch 1.5.3 Cornflakes Live - Checksum 30ec (Not for problem reports)

[podcat]

Hello!

We made a hotfix: 1.5.3 "Cornflakes" based on some things we saw, and it is now live!
The patch should be downloading through Steam as we speak.

We should be compatible with 1.5.2, but if you for some reason want to remain on 1.5.2 or older Here is instructions on how you revert patch levels.

Please make sure that any mods you are using are updated for 1.5.3, or your game might not run properly (seriously)

If you discover any bugs in patch 1.5.3, please report them in the bug report forum as usual.

Nice suprise but are you guys aware that the national spirit that USA gets when attacked on homeland doesnt have a picture. (Also in game, on the achievement tab Crusader Kings 2 lacks a picture).

Thanks for the update.

AI didn't made the greatest use of their airforce - so this one should make them AI airforce stronger.

 

[DicRoNero]

Ahhh, so this is why Kaiserreich was literally unplayable, lovely!

 

[cunningstunts]

Anything for puppets and allies being able to call one another into a war you don't want them to join?

The main thing was making ai less shuffly with its planes, and make them commit a bit more to some fights. Its nothing vastly different in behaviour. just general improvements on what was there

stupid question but is this the announcement what you made on twitter yesterday?

yes, now expect silence for a while

 

[podcat]

Did you verify files or restart steam sometimes it takes a while to appear

 

[Vonboe]

- Restored diplomatic information of friends and enemies list immediately after reloading a save.

Does this also fix the fake end of the SCW after loading a save?
