Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

Hello everyone!

Most of you have had a chance to start playing and enjoying the Console version of Crusader Kings III and have provided a ton of thoughts and feedback. We appreciate this feedback as it has been invaluable to our team!

Today we are releasing a small Update, the first of many, to address some technical concerns and to help shape the game and set the stage for future Updates. While this is most of the changes we’ve made are handled on the backend of things, there are a few more public facing issues here:

CHANGELOG:
- [Xbox only] Fixed an issue that showed an error message if players attempted to join a multiplayer session with the 'You can join cross-network play' set to 'Block'
- Improved the navigation of UI elements in case there is a missing option. The selection will now move to a valid button.
- The character radial menu can now be opened for unlanded characters, too.

Do you reckon there’ll be a DD next week?

Howdy all!

Here with the updates for the week is your friendly local Community Manager.

Sadly, there will be no Developer Diary this week from either of our Studios as they are both hard at work on the next latest and greatest content for their respective platforms.

This week over at Lab42, they are working to make sure that the feedback and input from our Console players is taken into account and all opinions are being heard. This also means that they will be working on an update to handle any issues or errors that have been reported before they start work on future content. We know you are excited to see the timeline for Ruler Designer as well as Flavor Packs and other DLCs, but we want to make sure you have the most solid and easily playable version of the game before that time. In the meantime, please keep sending us your feedback and issues and we will continue to collect them and work on getting the game where it deserves t... Read more

NATOaster said: Slight problem with this is that threads marked 'As Designed' are usually locked immediately?

That shouldn't be the case, but if it is - feel free to report these to the respective QA who have locked the thread to keep them unlocked. We try to keep the conversation flowing, and sometimes it's not the QA is speaking, but we simply are the extensions of our internal dev team answering questions for you.

Please don't be getting mad at us! (Also, I unlocked your thread ... Read more

Question about the bug report forum: there are long periods of time (sometimes months) when bug reports aren't flagged, which always leaves users wondering whether they are being parsed at all, and if it's even worth reporting more bugs. Any reason for this, and should we keep reporting?

Bonus question: what's the proper etiquette when QA flags a bug report As Designed, and you're pretty sure it's not so? A report I have in mind was about a Varangian Adventure war after which the character that used the CB kept one of its ini...

Stay on topic folks, thread moderated.

Howdy all!

While not a proper Dev Diary, your friendly local Community Manager is here to let you know what's been going on in the world of Crusader Kings lately!

As most of you are aware, we have two different teams working on Crusader Kings right now! One is hard at work at Lab42 to bring you the Console edition of the game! The other team is our very own Stockholm crew who are making sure everything looks right and is working properly for the 1.5.1 Update after Royal Court.

While the Update is not quite ready yet, we are working hard to make sure that we include as much of your feedback, technical issues, and quality of life as possible into the next version of the game as humanly possible. But, we promised you that we would keep you in the loop, so here we are!

With that in mind, we are here to let you know what is going on and how things look. Without further ado, here is a little list of sneak peeks coming up:

Howdy all,

Friendly Local Community Manager here to inform everyone of news and keep you all up to date in the dealings of the Dev Team.

We are currently working very hard to make sure that the feedback, suggestions, and any problems that you fine folk have reported are being processed and put to the best use!

With that in mind, we are not going to have a Dev Diary this week or most likely next week.

WE ARE AIMING TO HAVE A DEV DIARY FOR YOU MID-MARCH IF ALL GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN!

If you have any questions or would like to post something further, please do not hesitate to post in the proper Sub-Forums and we will be more than happy to investigate and work on!

In the meantime, we hope you are enjoying Royal Court as much as we are.

Howdy all!

With Royal Court just around the corner, we are excited to see what the future holds and how it shapes the game to come.

As always before a launch, we encourage you to wrap up any Ironman or other saved games you might have in process as the update to 1.5.0 will almost certainly create issues with those saved games.

We would love to see what you have been working on before Royal Court, so show us those Characters that you love the most, the Stories you feel are worth telling, the most memorable Deaths in game, or just the best End Game Screens that you have! Share with us in this thread so we can enjoy together!

Additionally, we are showing early results that indicate this will be a bit too much to bear for most of those saved games and there is not a high chance of those saves making it through unscathed.

If you would like to hold out for future patches, just remember that launching those saved ... Read more

Can we have the option to have this into the game ?

 

Thread cleaned up.

Let's make this very clear: sexism (etc) will get you permanently banned from the forum. We do not tolerate that here.  

Howdy all,

Friendly neighborhood Community Manager Troy here to bring you the brightest and freshest news regarding Royal Court!

This year has been a long and interesting one, to be certain, but we are here all together to make sure that our fantastic community gets the product that we have all been waiting for and deserve. Earlier this year, we informed you all that we were working hard to make sure that Royal Court was up to our standards.

Royal Court is not only the first expansion for CK3, but also a set of features entirely new to the CK series, including cultural evolution and language. It is very much breaking new ground,and as such, we are experimenting at every turn.

With that in mind we are not, at the moment, entirely satisfied with Royal Court's progress, especially regarding its stability. There are a number of bugs we really need to iron out, and are taking more time to make sure it is in line with the st... Read more

Wow!

What a year it has been! It is officially one year (and some change) since the game launched. We have had a ton of laughs, lots of stories, some tears were shed, and we have all learned so very much from each.

We are so very pleased to have such a welcoming and helpful Community to help guide us and support us through all of our endeavors so far. Without each and every one of you and your terrific and insightful views on everything from the state of the game to your favorite memes, we would not have such a warm and happy place to call our own.

We put together a little video with a few of our friends to celebrate and we hope you enjoy. While we did not get a chance to get everyone in on this video that we wanted to, we still feel it has a spot for everyone to enjoy!

Here's to a year that was well spent and many more to make this Community and game and even more robust and better place for everyone! ... Read more

You heard right, everyone! Crusader Kings III is coming soon to Next-Gen Consoles for the first time in franchise history. In a partnership with developers Lab42, Paradox will bring the majesty and intrigue of medieval court politics to an entirely new audience on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

CK3 on console will utilize key capabilities of the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, like super-fast load times for a seamless gameplay experience. Xbox Series X|S players will be able to quickly switch between gameplay and consulting other features of the console, such as videos and tutorials on how to best utilize the Console.

Howdy all,

Recently we received numerous reports about GeForce Now crashing to desktop or not initializing properly. As this is a serious issue that we want to get resolved, we have prioritized this fix for handling and correction.

In order to work on this specific function, we sadly had to pull down the version from play for all users in order to test and correct these issues. This is not something we wanted to do, but it was necessary to address the issues and get them corrected.

We are working on this issue and believe we have a fix to this issue that still needs testing before we can implement it. That being said, we do not have a timeline for when this fix will be ready, but are hopeful that it will be released soon. We are aiming for the next few weeks, but definitely before the end of the October.

Thank you for all the attention and dedication in this trying time.  

Howdy all,

*UPDATE: We are still experiencing some minor issues and have pushed the end time until 15:00 CEST to make sure everything is in place.*

We are going to be working on our back-end servers on June 29 that should last around 5 hours between 0800 - 1300 CET. While this should not cause any issues with your games as a whole, it will mean that your Paradox Account will not be available to log into.

Since you use this Paradox account to access our games and services, it means you will either need to be logged in prior to this window or make contingencies around using that account. We know this is frustrating, but is ultimately necessary to make sure we have a smooth working environment for the future.

Please note that your sessions will remain valid if you are logged in prior to the window, but may require you to log back in periodically after that point depending on activity leve... Read more

I was thinking yesterday about the same thing. It is strange that your ruler isn't leading (or an expectation that he does lead) your armies automatically, like in CK1 and CK2. Now you have to make him the army leader, but if you don't (so your ruler stays at home during war) then that isn't a problem with other characters at all. Just imagine, William the Conquerer not being present at Hastings, but back home in Normandy, while his troops fight for the English crown, that is just weird.

Something similar with Crusades, AFAIK as long as you sent your army it is OK by the Pope, you just place in him in command at the target to get him the Crusader trait and then replace him again.
