- Hotfix 1.5.1 now available - 14 February 2018
IMPORTANT: For the moment Version 1.05.1 is available through the Beta tab (versions 1.02, 1.03 and 1.05 can be found there too) while 1.04 is still the default version (this will be changed later). Hello everyone, Thanks to your reports in the Paradox forum after the release of Patch 1.05 we were able to identify two issues introduced by the patch: Fixed air and naval units mission cancellation on auto-retreat from combat – 1.05 bug Fixed issues with wrong over command penalty applied in some situations, like when unit on Anti-partisan mission attacks partisans and gets the penalty once it arrives to the rebellious province - 1.05 bug As you can see, both issues could be game breakers or very irritating at least, so we decided to release an EXE only patch, aimed at addressing those.

Savegames of patch 1.04 are not compatible with patch 1.05. As a general rule (with few exceptions) mods for patch 1.04 do NOT work with patch 1.05, but can be easily updated (instruction here:) Very short list of changes (compared to patch 1.04): we modified the CV Sprites which caused the CTD Issues with the latest AMD GPU Drivers; added auto-attachment options for land and air brigades and improved the existing naval brigades auto-attachment logic; added comprehensive information on tool-tips of brigades and units about their modifiers and attributes; improved the tooltip of the effects of domestic policies and added color to effects values (and to minister effect values too); now the tooltip dis…
