Weekly Dev Diary #10 - 2.4.2 Patch

[Birken]

Hi everyone!
We released the 2.4.2 patch today and now part of the team is on vacation while the rest is working hard to fix as many bugs and improvements as possible for an upcoming 2.4.3 patch.
We obviously ran into a lot of old and new problems with older DLC in 2.4.1, but they should be fixed by now.
Not much else to say at this point. We'll be focusing on getting the game in as good shape as possible and not on adding any new features.
Some things are being re balanced, an example being the Bubonic plague which should hit a lot harder now than before.
Other than that I hope you're having a great summer and are enjoying Horse Lords!

Much appreciated. I don't care what the boss says, I gotta leave work now in order to try this patch as soon as possible

Maybe we need to add some kind of "Enjoy your Crusader Kings II responsibly" disclaimer. Don't want you to lose your job or anything

Oh so maybe adding the missing rulers in India for some start dates (at least 1066) might be on the agenda?

It is, yes.

I don't see a patch on my Steam anywhere, and if I go to the Betas tab where I have access to all of the patches then it still lists 2.4.2 as a Beta patch and that I should use it at my own risk

Am I missing out on something here? The threads here are saying it launched, but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

So not running an opt-in beta is how you get the latest patch. If you had 2.4.2 beta, you shouldn't get a download though as the only thing changed is that we've set Steam to use it as the official one.
