Hello there!

I hope you are all enjoying the new expansion. e've identified two issues that need a quick fix. Rest assured, this hotfix won't impact your saved games!

The update will be available on the Microsoft Store at the earliest opportunity.


Bugfixes
- Fix political screen to show MIOs in MP for clients that do not possess Arms Against Tyranny
- Support divisions with multiplicative battalion modifiers will no longer be further multiplied by the number of division types of the target type in the template. Tl;dr: no mega artillery stacking with rangers now.

If you played on an old save with the new update, that would be the reason. If you still have the original save, you can rollback and play without an issue. But if you start the old version with a new save, you could encounter similar issues.

You will not get access to the pre-order song.

Right click the game in your steam library, press betas, then the dropdown on beta participation and selected the branch you want. The game will then update to that branch.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for dumb question, but it's first time ever I'm in the need to revert my game back so I'm a bit confused : How do I do this exactly ?

"We have set up a rollback branch for 1.12.14 (Avalanche). You can use it to continue your previously saved games. Remember that Steam may require a restart to show the new branch.
However be aware that:
  • If you have bought Arms Against Tyranny, some graphical and audio assets (loading screen, music...) will show up in the game. This will still be 100% save compatible and not bring any feature from AAT. If you dislike them, you can disable the DLC from the launcher and get a pure 1.12.14 experience as it was before AAT released.
  • Most popular total conversion mods have updated to 1.13 and will not rollback when you change steam branch. The launcher will warn you accordingly that they are incompatible with your current version of the game."

We encountered an issue, apologies.

Thanks for the update. Is it a matter of hours or something that will take some time to fix? I was looking forward to play this evening, but I can adapt my schedule.
Unfortunately It could take a few hours.

Generals!

The day is soon upon us, with Arms Against Tyranny and the Stella Polaris update sealed up and ready to ship. The development process for AAT has been a pleasure to be part of, and the team have acquitted themselves admirably throughout - we’re all keen to see what you think of our efforts, and hope you enjoy what we have to offer.

The coming weeks also mark a period of post-release support for us. We prefer to remain reactive to the community’s needs here: creating an immediate post-release ‘roadmap’ actually makes it harder for us to do that. So instead, I’m here to explain that we’ll be here maintaining an active presence, and will react quickly as needed and as time and resources allow.

In time-honored fashion, we’re releasing the patch notes to you early, so you can theorycraft, eagerly anticipate, or commiserate the fixing of your favorite exploits a day or two early. As usual, missing notes can happen, and if we find these they will be added ... Read more

Bonjour à nouveau, friends! I don’t know if the third time makes it a tradition but I appear once more before release to give some updates from HoI’s tech team.

If you haven’t seen much of me since last year, it’s because I’ve partly been busy with **REDACTED**, **REDACTED** and also with **REDACTED**, but my attention has fully returned to HoI for the last couple months.

So, what’s new with HoI’s tech in 1.13 “Stella Polaris”?

Mines, or the greatest urban legend
First off, great news, naval mines will not slow down the game anymore! Hurray!


Except that’s a lie. The “mine lag” I keep reading about in some community house rules isn’t a thing. Hasn’t been for 2 years. I know because I fixed it in 1.11 (Barbarossa). But don’t feel bad for missing the notice, as it turns out this ch... Read more
