This is a beta version of the hotfix which we intend to release on Friday, or, failing that, early next week. Right-click on Crusader Kings II in the Steam client, go into the Betas tab and choose to opt into the "beta" branch.



IMPORTANT: Understand that this is a beta. Only do this if you want to help us test out the hotfix. We cannot guarantee that it actually fixes what it's supposed to, or that it does not introduce new problems.



Checksum: GFTG (and it should now be the same on all three platforms!)
