Why beta patch and should you download it:

Patchlog:

Spoiler: Click for details - Fixed an issue for users who had mods installed prior to the mod system update refusing to update etc

- Democracies allowing fascists in government no longer turn fascist faction leaders communist in election events

- AI now more careful about considering units in combats when it needs to rebalance fronts

- Improved AI supply evaluation for fronts with supply issues

- Changed language flag for English in launcher to show US/UK split (I fully expect everyone not to be happy with this, but this was at least what we wanted to do from the get-go)

So how do I get this?

Hello! We noticed a few things, particularly an issue with updating mods after sunflower release and wanted to throw out a quick update for those. We will run this for a day or so as open beta. Public testing is very useful to us so thank you in advanceWe do open beta patches to make sure we get a lot of testing and catch new issues before a patch goes live.So, if you know how to use beta patches and dare to live a little dangerously (I wouldnt attempt ironman on this build tbh in case it ruins your save), and would love to help then check this out. I am not going to promote this patch outside the forum because, well, its beta and not fully supported. If you run into problems, just roll back to default version.1. In steam right click the game in the list of games and pick Properties2. Go to the Betas tab3. in the drop-down select 1.2.1_beta (if it doesnt appear you might have to restart steam)4. Close Properties. Steam should now queue up an update and will display the game in the list as Hearts of Iron IV [1.2.1_beta]5. if all went well the last bit of the version number in launcher should display "()" which should be the correct checksum6. Once we go official you can just remove the beta branch and go back to main by doing this again and selecting NONE.Enjoy!
