Hotfix 1.9.7 is now LIVE! - Not for Problem Reports!

[Mercy02]

Happy Thursday Victorians!

Hotfix 1.9.7 is now live! This hotfix contains some critical fixes including a frequent crash when looking at a states population tab, autonomous investments not updating target states and more!

We do have one issue regarding games started on 1.9.6, you can read about that and a work around for it below. Fresh 1.9.7 saves are not affected by this issue.

1.9.6 Saves​

If you are continuing a 1.9.6 save on 1.9.7, any expenses from a transfer goods article will stay with you after the treaty is withdrawn and will not be displayed as an expense on your balance.

To get around this, you can do anything that updates the diplomatic actions or pacts of you and the nation you were transferring goods with, the easiest example would be to start and stop the Improving Relations action with the target, this should update and clear the invisible expense.

As always please report any bugs on our bug reporting forums! We have also updated the Known Issues post for 1.9 with fixed issues!

Check out the full patchnotes below! Checksum is ‘1741’

AI​

• Fixed a bug where autonomous investment would not update its state target for a building type but instead construct the same building in the same state over and over
• Fixed a bug where the AI would not construct a sufficient number of ports to fix critical convoy shortages
• Fixed a bug which was preventing the AI from establishing new military formations in some cases
• Fixed another issue that was preventing the AI from withdrawing from enforced treaties
• The AI is now fine with building Railways in states that have sufficient Infrastructure, if those Railways would be profitable
• Improved the AI's ability to prioritize spending on government buildings when its current spending is far below its desired targets

Balance​

• The Boer States now start out guaranteed by Britain as per the Anti-Cheese Treaties of 1836
• Gaza now starts with an army

Interface​

• Treaties now get their own budget entry in the budget tooltip, rather than being nested under the Diplomatic Pacts entry

Bugfixes​

• Fixed a crash that would sometimes occur when viewing a state's population tab
• Fixed a bug when the regional HQ kept investing despite a broken foreign investment pact
• Fixed a bug where an overlord capitulating would sometimes not enforce wargoals targeting their subjects in the same play
• Fixed a bug where the winning revolutionary side would disband all original country companies instead of transferring them
• Fixed a bug that would cause enforced money transfer articles to not be properly accounted for when capitulating
• Fixed a bug that would cause money transfer articles to transfer twice the stated amount
• Fixed a bug that would cause money transfer and goods transfer articles to not be properly frozen when the two bound countries get involved in a war on opposite sides
• Fixed the wrong country being shown for diplomatic stance acceptance factor for existing treaties

"Let me check the census" - said the administrator.
Reality crashes.

Fantastic! I will have an accounting degree playing with Vic3

PS: I only miss a breakdown by treaty in the outliner showing up the pound balance the same as we have the influence cost. Here:

Are there any changes since the 1.9.7 beta?

 

[MohawkWolfo98]

Good Afternnon! Would this be the final patch to the summer holidays? And if I may, will the changes to command economy be present in this hotfix or one very soon, as stipulated in this forum thread?


Thanks very much! Looking forward to playing it

I thought my computer was just garbage or didn't have enough ram (I've got 32gb ram) LMAO

Are there any changes since the 1.9.7 beta?

Given that I was still beta-opted-in when the patch went live and no download happened when I unscribed and also beta and live have the same checksum, I doubt that there were any further changes. Sadly that means also that (at least in a continued game from pre 1.9.7) the German localisation for the new income/expense entry is still missing:

EDIT: Sadly it also affects new games when playing with German language:



Going to update my bug report.

 

[jbizon1998]

Finally, more railways!!!

Please add GDP breakdown by sectors/goods of countries/world and trade partners breakdown please, or just let us know if you're actually planning to add it.

 

[masteriw]

Please, fix barracks.

 

[PanzerMan7]

Still no change to 0% market access?

Disgraceful.

 

[Cymsdale]

Treaties now get their own budget entry in the budget tooltip, rather than being nested under the Diplomatic Pacts entry

This seems a bit weird because now the income from a treaty is only in a tooltip, not anywhere on the budget UI.

RIP all of the Boer state gold strats, you will be missed

Can we expect any more hotfixes before the summer holiday?

Going to update my bug report.

I reported the exact same issue in spanish version 3 hours after the beta was released. They added new bugs like the one related to "liberate country" wargoal. What's exactly the point of a beta if you don't check the bug reports?

Can we expect any more hotfixes before the summer holiday?

I think there is at least a chance, as the OP states that the list of known issues was updated and the last four entries now look like this:

• AI isn't building ports despite severe convoy shortage - We will address this soon
• Regional HQs can continue to invest even when foreign investment rights are revoked under some circumstances - We will address this soon
• Revolutionary countries do not take over companies as they should, sometimes resulting in annexation of whole countries - We will address this soon
• Enforced Money Transfer article doesn't transfer any money - We will address this soon

The sentence "We will adress this soon" behind each of these issue could be a hint on a quick 1.9.8 being possible.

So, no solution yet to fix the radicals and loyalist graph after January 1st 1837?

 

[Pendables]

I wonder how long it will take for me to stop flinching whenever I open the population tab

1.9.7 will be the last one in July most likely, there is a possibility of another in August

I think there is at least a chance, as the OP states that the list of known issues was updated and the last four entries now look like this:

• AI isn't building ports despite severe convoy shortage - We will address this soon
• Regional HQs can continue to invest even when foreign investment rights are revoked under some circumstances - We will address this soon

• Enforced Money Transfer article doesn't transfer any money - We will address this soon

The sentence "We will adress this soon" behind each of these issue could be a hint on a quick 1.9.8 being possible.

That's a mistake on my end, I accidentally missed the update button when posting this and it was not updated. Those issues should be fixed in 1.9.7.

No changes!
