There is this Bug Report
Looks like we've fixed most of those on our end and the remaining ones are reported and merely waiting to be picked up when there's time.
So with 1.9 the fixes should all be there hopefully.

Just one thing: having set the scope of 1.9, can we expect some kind of updates on future features in the spring dev diaries too?
 
There is more to 1.9 than fixes, we mentioned some areas at the end of the last dev diary.
This should be exciting, but instead, when I read this, I just think of how those changes are just going to introduce some new major bugs that are also going to take half a year (or more) to fix. It would be nice, for once, to have a stable version with no major bugs that we can go back to if needed.

Do you by any chance have Windows 11 and update 24h2 installed? This may be the cause, so downgrading to a previous windows update can help.

As for Coop, it's a wonder of the English language one is said as "Koop" the other as "co op". Same problem with day pencil lead and how one leads, or the computer lead. All the written the same way but pronounced differently.
Regarding the PC freezes: I did downgrade and it broke my Windows installation. I had various UI scaling issues and I wasnt able to install any updates after that. So I dont think this should be preferred solution. I had to completely reinstall my Windows 11. Did this a few days ago. We would need a patch to fix this issue as it is a critical bug.

I very much love to hear this but I do feel a little bit disappointed at the same time that we probably have to wait months for these fixes as it seems that you guys wont be releasing a new patch but will release only 1.9 which will contain these fixes. I mean these arent minor bugs but major issues which have been in the game since 1.8 came out and were never fixed. So now we have to wait for 1.9 for another major version? This is a bit weird.

For what it is worth, Vic3 isn't the only game to suffer from that update, Path of Exile 1 (and 2 I think?) also do, so the problem seems to come from Microsoft

I agree, some of those are major, but certainly not all of them.
That put aside, it's always a question where you draw the line for where you want to spend the limited time you have available.
Any update we put out costs us a fair amount of overhead time spent on it, for example to verify fixes, backend setup, creating a changelog, posting updates, ensuring release goes well etc. etc.
So all time we spend on releasing a hotfix will take away from the next release in some shape.
Here we also have a decent amount of issues related to trade which is undergoing substantial enough changes that a lot of this will need to be revisited anyway. So we'd put out a hotfix for something that is going to be irrelevant a few months down the road.
Hope this makes it a bit more understandable.

I experimented those freezing issues and I found out were related to nvidia drivers. I changed some of the global settings for the game and updated the drivers.

Now the issues are not that frequent, if you have an nvidia graphics car I would recommend tweaking some of those. See if that helps
