Release of 2.02?

[Freakkriek]

That could work however this would mean re-writing missions to your specific issues
AND
i'm playing in iron man. And i'm assuming most people counting on those missions tend to be going for and achievement or with a target in mind... so either way I'm sure your suggestion can work but in my case unfortunately i'm just stuck till patch.... and as I don't want to start another game before I finish this one, I can't play the game at all... which is a shame

Perhaps it's not being released today either

 

[Zylathas]

I don't think we'll see it this week.

Very tragic

Tomorrow for sure!

 

[Roy1012]

Probably a Tuesday.

I guess they have showed it through SteamDB.SteamDB allow non-dev people to show the upcoming or private updates for a game.

Let us hope this week brings the patch!

I doubt it. Next week is possible, but i doubt it will release this week.

This is genuinely frustrating. I’ve been waiting to play since 2.0 was released but can’t as the game is broken. Using a Mac and all y levies appear as light cavalry when playing Rome. Hope they update soon.

There was an update to the Atlantis Rising beta four days ago, which was after the most recent hot fix.

So who knows.

Looking at player numbers, which are dropping steadily, many are waiting for a patch.

As per tradition every big PDX patch first needs to be patched before it's playable (more or less). And I'm not talking about the hotfix that comes within the first week but the comprehensive fix focused patch that comes with initial balance/gameplay changes. I no longer begin playing PDX games right after big updates until they're patched first. Same is going to happen with Stellaris once Nemesis (and its accompanying update) is out. That is The Way.

I am also taking a break, waiting for "isolated province" to be fixed or explained

So we basically should not play on release 1.0, should not play after a big patch/DLC is released and should not play on first hotfixes for that big patch/DLC ?
So I guess the safest way would be to wait for an new big patch/DLC and then opt-in in steam for the latest patch before that big patch/DLC

I dont understand why they dont use beta patches, where a part of the community can opt-in through steam if wanted and give live feedback, together with periodic dayli or weekly new beta patch iterations.

This 'isolated province' negative modifier was already there in the previous versions. Not sure when they added it, but it was certainly there in 1.5 already.

I can't tell you exactly how it works, but from what I noticed in 1.5 it's a temporary modifier that applies to a newly conquered province that is a bit farther away from your capital. Then it goes away after a period of time, approximately a decade or so.

I fear your break will be longer then - as @Seleukos.I.Nikator correctly pointed out this mechanic and its potential issue(s) are older. And I'm speaking of potential, as at least for Paradox I'm not even sure that they have something on their radar (or more precisely, in their JIRA bug database) - it was reported long ago, but it never got even got confirmed as issue/bug:

Isolated Province modifier on a connect province

After conquering Judea it still has the isolated province modifier giving -0.25 loyalty even though it´s well connected. waiting several month and restarting the game didn´t help. Version 1.5.0 All dlc Only cosmetic mods, playing on Ironman

The initial case didn't allow reproducing and after that there was no more official statement. That doesn't rule out completely that it was registered as bug later (as more examples were provided in the thread), but we cannot count on it for sure. Don't get me wrong; I leaning towards something being wrong here, too...but it is not a problem to track down easily. I tried in 2.0, when I spotted that modifier close to my capital, but despite having saved before the peace treaty I failed with reproducing it for myself

yay for the patch
