Since the Swedish vacation season is about to hit, I've just uploaded a relatively small Steam beta patch for those of you who want to help us iron out bugs. Regrettably, it is not available for the GamersGate version of the game but if all goes well, an official version of the patch will be released late next week.
Remember that this is a BETA patch; we make no guarantees about save game compatibility, stability, etc. (Though it should not turn your computer to radioactive slag!!)
INSTALLATION: Right-click Crusader Kings II in your Steam library, select Properties, and under the "Betas" tab, select Open Beta Patch v1.103b.
As per usual, report any bugs in the Bug Reports forum. Here's the blurb:

- Corrected some text bugs
- It is no longer possible to start building Theodosian walls outside of Constantinople

- Patricians with no landed holdings now correctly get some random courtiers (which they can, for example, marry)
- Euboia is no longer "Ocean" terrain
- You can no longer become a truce breaker from failed imprisonments or title revokations, or wars from events, plots or factions
- 867: Gave Almos, the ruler of the Magyars, and his son Arpad scripted traits

- Kingdoms with a king can now also de jure drift into empires

- The Seljuks now appear a bit further south, in Dashhowuz rather than Kyzylorda
AI:
- Fixed a bug where patrician AI would go braindead for a long time after resign/reload
- Fixed an issue where, in many cases, under Gavelkind the AI would not create a second duchy even to form a kingdom
- Fixed a bug in the diplo AI where it would consider other lowborn characters to be its own dynasty
- Tweaked cross-religion Pagan marriage acceptance
