Where is the Rome 2.36c BETA patch?

[solops]

Where is the 2.36c BETA patch? Or a link to it (even better)? I see many references to it, but I cannot find it. The current Steam installation for Rome Gold appears to be 2.32c. I'd like to update as the forums seem to indicate some problems.

OK. I finally found it...so for all of your others:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/patch-v2-36c-beta-checksum-xevc.707833/

The patch thread should be stickied!!

The Paradox forum has some weird display settings that will not display more than 5 threads unless you tell it to.

With the recent Steam sale, there may be a lot of others looking for answers, sooo.... to help others:

solops asked: ↑
How do you apply the patch to a Steam version of the game? Specifically, can you make a copy of the Rome folder in the Steam directory to apply the patch to and still have the game work? Because I see multiple warnings NOT to apply the patch to the original folder. Seems like the Steam DRM would shut down a copy...??? Help?

Copy the game to a folder outside the steam folder and apply the patch to the copy. Create a shortcut to the exe file on your desktop or wherever is convenient. Steam is not required to run the game.
