Hello everyone! Today we're releasing Update 1.12.3 to address some issues reported to us by the community as well as deploy a couple of balance tweaks. Notably for our MacOS and Linux users, this update merges in the previously experimental fix for crashes related to tooltips and mousing over portraits. A huge thank you goes out to the community for providing their crash reports and insights on this issue!



PC Update 1.12.3 Changelog

Hello everyone!

Back in December of 2023, halls of Studio Black buzzed with an exciting flurry of activity for the team’s inaugural Black Forge Jam: a three-day extravaganza of creativity and innovation, with just a dash of chaos. This wasn't your average development sprint. We threw the rulebook out the window (figuratively speaking, of course) to dive into the realms of "What if?" and "Why not?" for Crusader Kings III.



A Dive into Uncharted Waters
Imagine a space where time, budget, and the usual game plan constraints are sidelined, allowing for pure, unadulterated creativity. That's what the Black Forge Jam was all about. With 11 different projects on the table, different groups from the CK3 Dev team embarked on a journey to explore the unexplored and build the unbuilt, all fueled by a passion for innovation and perhaps a copious amount o...

Also do this for Menagerie but accompany it with pictures of your pets so they're more attention-grabbing and thus will be seen more often by everyone, thus naturally b... Read more

That was actually one of our stated goals, to make any system we have at least somewhat expandable. For all those non-modders out there, the current process of adding new pets - insofar as the idea of a new pet really exists in CK3 as it stands, given they're essentially just story cycles with unique modifiers - is finicky and pretty high-effort, and contained entirely within s...

Flockingbird said: P.S. Regarding Medieval Menagerie: back around December or so, we had a new poster who asked for exactly what you’ve described (and got laughed at)—did y’all see that post? It wasn’t one of you devs trolling the forum, was it? :p (I’ll try to find that post when I have time to search.)

Haha, not quite. I think I briefly mentioned in the video that whilst the Menagerie in this format was put forward by me, the idea behind expandi... Read more

Silens said: Indirect question: LoD releases on 4th of March, you say 16:00 to 17:00 CET is pre-release. Does that mean that it releases at roughly 18:00 CET?
Very roughly.

We don't guarantee release times; there's a lot of stuff that has to happen in quick succession for launch, which means lots of opportunities for things to get held up.

EDIT: Ah damn I should have left that for the Q&A

Hello everyone! As explained by the title, we're planning to host a pre-release stream for Legends of the Dead on March 4 from 16:00 to 17:00 CET.

As part of this stream, we're looking to answer some questions from the community! In the interest of those who can't attend live, we're taking questions from various platforms online to answer during the stream. So, uh... drop a question below! No guarantees we'll get to a specific question or not; we're working under time constraints so we likely won't be able to get to everything.

Watch the stream at 16:00 CET via the links below!

TheMind said: Great update! Any news on macOS crashes?
We'll include this in a known issues post on Monday to cast a wide net, but since you're already asking: There's a quirk where Steam isn't properly changing the capitalization of certain files, and that's causing issues since MacOS and Linux both use case-sensitive filesystems out of the box.

Do a full uninstall, verify that nothing is left in the game folder, and reinstall.

We hope you're looking forward to Monday as much as we are!

Also, is that -2 to -4 development per month??

GNU Pterry

It's not a flat rate like that! It _can_ be in certain cases, but don't expect every epidemic to chunk off 3 development per month. We have a new effect in Development Decline, so it'll be something you won't have experienced before as a player.
