Whats happening and when paradox?

[Vendin]

After buying the cossacks and with all the bugs currently hindering so much of the game that i rolled back to 1.13 to be able to enjoy Eu4 at times like this. WHY dont you just make a sticky thread and give us some info on hotfixes? When can we expect atleast a small hotfix to deal with some of the major issues that currently screws us over? Cant say im happy spending money on content i cant play because i get stuck with an age 0 heir etc...
Fix some bugs, release a hotfix, work on more bugs.. Dont just wait till you think that its all fixed. Cus it wont be...
And give us some hope. Tell us an ETA on fixes.

Have you posted up what bugs you're experiencing in the bug forum? Remember that the devs can't fix what they don't know about.

It's also not always as easy as "fix a couple of bugs, hotfix, fix a few more bugs" - there's a truism that in software design fixing one bug can create a dozen more; there's another that bugs are often fixed when they're fixed, since it can take time to chase down why a bug exists, and if it's affecting anything else.

There's not much point giving an eta, as something might come up that forces it back.

That said the first hotfixes for the last couple of patches have taken 2-3 days to be released. So I don't expect to see anything until later today or tomorrow at the earliest. Assuming there's not some really awkward underlying cause for any of the bugs I'd be surprised if they left it much longer than that. There are some pretty serious ones which need to be fixed fairly quickly - like that, apparently consistent, crash when trying to play ironman, and formable countries breaking ironman.

We're working on a hotfix. ETA: as soon as it's ready.

While what you say is true, the OP brings up a good point. I have started 3 different achievement runs since Tuesday and lost all 3 to different bugs. Not only was this extremely frustrating, it took sifting around the bug forums to see others were having the same issues. Since many of these issues are so widespread (nation forming breaking Ironman), a post stating, "hey, there are some issues, we are working on it, maybe don't start campaigns with formable nations" here on the main forums would be a good idea.

Please see the Administrative Efficiency bug I just posted. The first level increases coring cost by 80% instead of decreasing it by 20%.

It should be released tomorrow..

Will you guys go on long vacation like Summer?

Jesus Christ. Game has only been out for a few days. I wouldn't expect a hotfix at least untl there has been a week of play/investigation.

There was a hotfix for Common Sense after 3 days.

It's just a visual bug.

Oh come on, there's a brief moment of hammering out bugs after each expansion release. And Paradox has so far always released a hotfix in a few days and a more comprehensive patch in a week. This is nothing special, and I'm saying that with my current game crashing every other -in-game year.

Steam gave me a 6mb patch a little while ago. Was that just steam acting up and I'm the only one who had that happen then?

If it is paid expansion that introduced the bugs (as it is) it us understandable that we are gonna expect them sooner than later

I tested a few button clicks and it is indeed visual only.

Also why hype us for every new expansion months before its release and than torture us with undocumented features... I don`t know how QA is done in Paradox, but better get some people to try some single player, because frankly most of the people here don`t have even an hour in multiplayer.

I have gotten 2 steam updates today but can't find any info for them so I am assuming it is just Steam being Steam.

They have not only tested the game in singleplayer, but they let youtubers play it a week before. And probably played the game a lot themselves.

Fixes to some cosmetic DLC, no changes to actual game.

Hi,

Maybe you should propose to players to play a beta fix.
People will not ask what you do, and you will have a lot of bug report on your last last version.

Sorry for english.

Note that even an open beta won't necessarily catch all the bugs.

For instance, for CK2 the Way of Life DLC had an open beta for the main patch (not the DLC features). It caught some bugs, but one of the fixes led to the notorious "levy bug" (the AI was unable to disband its levies; given that levies must be disbanded before declaring war in CK2 and vassals get angry when levies aren't disbanded in a reasonable time, this meant that the AI was unable to declare war and all its vassals became incredibly discontent within a few years of the game starting).

For the forum's reaction? This video is a fairly accurate summary.
