Devs, could you please clarify the exact time at which the patch will go live? Pretty important to me.

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
It's Sunday right now (in most of the world). The patch releases on Monday the 1st. It wouldn't hurt to know precisely when it's going live.
If I had to guess, I would say somewhere between 9AM and noon Texas Time. Most people make the silly mistake of calling it "central."
Looking at the last few posts on the forum for patch releases it will be sometime in the afternoon European time, presuming those posts coincide exactly with the releases.
At least as important as a game update can be.

If the past is any indicator, it will be late afternoon central european time / morning pacific time.
So.... They are going to release a patch about Romania on National Day of China?There must be some connection.
Also reminder that Paradox is going to molest your EU4 game files, you'll get the update tomorrow even if you don't want it yet.
That's a Steam feature, not a PDX one. A feature I wish they dropped, so I can set up ASK BEFORE UPDATING. For some reason they don't do that.
You can't. Only if you go offline.

In fact you can. I am an idiot. You set up to update games only when you launch them, and then pick from Betas the version you want to play. And the game will never update. Me. Idiot.
EDIT: Or I am half idiot. You can disable updates and play older version for games that offer older versions. FM 2018 does not.

Tomorrow's update is mandatory because of PDX changing things for GDPR compliance.
Not a problem for me. I always wait for .1 subpatch. So I will wait for 1.27.1 without playing.
I'm hoping that the new patch will be well quality controlled out of the gate since they're not doing major changes to game systems this time, and the patch corresponds with rostered time off work.
I don't think there is any doubt that the there are many things around the 1.27 release the devs would have preferred to not do. However the GDPR legislation is forcing a whole lot of companies to take whole lot of draconian measures for fear of astronomical fines for non-compliance. At my place of work we are no longer allowed to have a calendar with peoples birthdays or pictures of team events on the wall, as the area is accessible to people other than those who work there.
You're either making this up (Euro-sceptic fake news?) or the legal team at your place of work needs urgent medical attention for paranoid delusions. Because there's nothing whatsoever in GDPR that would exact this.
The main change of GDPR is the huge focus put on client CONSENT, which is a great thing. It has nothing to do with calendars. If anyone is interested, https://eugdpr.org holds enough information to explain everything.
On topic, it's almost 12 pm here, and the patch is not out yet, which isn't a problem at all
PS: Focus on consent means that you can't force on me your crappy advertising, undercover data collection, etc.
