Today's Dev Diary by Podcat [forum.paradoxplaza.com]

2021? Damn, we are in the future now boys and girls!

I wanted to write this diary because it feels like it's been a really long time since we chatted. Well I guess it wasn’t that long actually but 2020 has definitely made everything feel like its taken forever.

2020 has probably been the most challenging year so far for the team since release. The COVID-19 situation really messes with your wellbeing, even if your life normally is chilling inside with your cat and computer games so I hope you are all taking care of yourselves.

Looking back I th... Read more

Hello everyone!

Patch 1.10.3 of the "Collie" update is now live and should be downloading through Steam and Microsoft Store as we speak. The new checksum is aa89.

This update aims to address a compatibility issue with the recent release of macOS 11.0 "Big Sur".

Saves made with 1.10.0, 1.10.1 and 1.10.2 are expected to be fully compatible with 1.10.3 and you can continue your previous game without risk.

Should you still have an older saved game (from 1.9 "Husky" or 1.8 "Fork"), it will not be compatible with 1.10.3, even if the game does not report it as such. This is sadly an issue we could not fix in this patch without painful side effects (see the known issues[forum.paradoxplaza.com] page).

As always, if you have an older save you can... Read more

Should you still have an older saved game (from 1.9 "Husky" or 1.8 "Fork"), it will not be compatible with 1.10.2, even if the game does not report it as such. This is sadly an issue we could not fix in this patch without painful side effects (... Read more

Hello everyone!

Release 1.10.1 "Collie" is now live with its new features and bugfixes. The patch should be downloading through Steam as we speak. The expected checksum is dd56.

If you wonder if you missed patch 1.10.0, don't worry, you didn't! It was only released internally and to our beta testers, but the timetable allowed us to skip ahead and go live with 1.10.1 directly which includes a few fixes for issues found during beta.

Please note that 1.10 will not be save game compatible with 1.9.3. If you want to finish off any ongoing ironman games, please remain on 1.9.3 for now. Here are instructions on how you revert patch levels[forum.paradoxplaza.com].

As always please make sure that any mods you are using are updated for 1.10, or... Read more

Hello and welcome to a developer diary for the 1.10 Collie patch!

This is the patch that will be released alongside Battle for the Bosporus. Today we’re going to be focusing on some content coming with the patch that will add new content for owners of the Death or Dishonor expansion. Everything that follows will be accessible to DoD owners and will not be unlocked by purchasing Battle for the Bosporus. Some of you may already know this from the leaked screenshot on the Steam store, but Yugoslavia will be getting a light rework coming free with the patch for any owners of Death or Dishonor.



When I originally joined full-time on the project, I was given a list of common ... Read more
