Release 1.0.2 is now available for users on the “public_beta” Beta branch on Steam and GOG. If you are experiencing any of the issues listed in the Release Notes below, we recommend opting in to the public_beta branch at this time. If you are experiencing any issues running the game that aren't listed below, or if updating to public_beta does not address your issue, please contact Paradox Support here: https://support.paradoxplaza.com IMPORTANT: If you switch to the public_beta branch, please note that when playing Multiplayer Skirmish, you will only be able to play against other players on the public_beta branch. The Lobby browser does not currently denote which players are on the public_beta branch and which are not (but will in future releases.) If you switch to the public_beta branch and then want to create a multiplayer lobby, please add [BETA] to the front of your Lobby name.If you experience any issues after updating, the first step we recommend is to restart your computer, and then verify integrity of game files . Occasionally, the Steam update process can act weird - this will ensure that the update has been properly applied. After this, if your experience is worse than it was on the live version, please report that to customer service and go back to the live branch (v1.0.1).
