Yeee haa, finally some news, and its really good news, looking forward to it, even if it gets delayed a bit, at least we can see some light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks devs.
Hey everyone - sorry for the delay in reply, I have been out of office for a few days.
I checked with our producers and we now have a soft target of a May 8th release for the console patch. It has passed Microsoft and we are just waiting for Sony. If anything changes with the date (which hopefully it will not) I will let you know - but as of now, it is May 8th!
The reason for the delay is that this patch is chock full of stuff and it had to go through rigorous bug testing and then the certification process, which is not a quick thing on console. We are super committed to making sure you have an awesome experience on console and we are looking forward to you all finally getting to play with the update.
I know many of you are unhappy, but we are not holding things back to be difficult, we just want to make sure we get this patch right.
At this point this is all just more hot air.
LMAO IKR!!! Yea I bought this a couple months back but want a full refund. Go by a pcspeaking of hot air, didn't you say you were deleting the game off your console two weeks ago?

What don't you understand about console players expecting the same support as PC players for a product that they paid the same price for?

If this game remains broken after the patch I will be starting a refund process with yourselves and I do not expect to hear any refusal.
awesome news! thank you! Is there a place yet where we can see what changes/fixes to expect
What don't you understand about console players expecting the same support as PC players for a product that they paid the same price for? How are you not absorbing what we are saying?
You'd have a leg to stand on if when console players first purchased the game they were informed "hey, we're charging you the same amount as PC players, but we're really new at developing for consoles so all of your patches will be significantly delayed compared to PC players."
They took our money just the same, we expected the same support.
You might not expect a refusal, but you will get it.
The people who handle console refunds are Microsoft and Sony.
Microsoft's policy is no refunds if you've owned the game for longer than two weeks or played for more than 2 hours. This is fairly normal.
Sony's is 2 weeks or started downloading.
Steam has a similar policy to Microsoft, although they allow exceptions on a case by case basis.
Microsoft or Sony will only refund you past those situations if you can prove the game is/was fundamentally broken to an unplayable level. And not merely the level most people call broken or unplayable.
Refunds come at the whims of the people you bought the game from, not the company who made it.
Do you think waiting months for fixes is acceptable?
I hope you know there is this thing called consumer faith.. You have shown that you lot don't overly care.
I think the only reason your releasing a patch is to drive up sales of natural disasters. Because you have a faulty product at this time.
This shouldn't have taken this long to fix. So you lost my faith in you.
It's a shame you can't get sued for being crap
...I don't work for Paradox nor any other gaming company.
Second, the product isn't faulty. Not by gaming standards. It's playable. It's not killing your console just by running. It doesn't attempt to kill you. If you're going to label every game with bugs faulty, you might as well label every game as such. There is no such thing as a game with 0 bugs. They're too complicated and too easily broken for that.
In regards to the "months for fixes" and shouldn't have taken this long, I'll point you at Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2. The PC version got a lot of fixes over 10 years ago. The console version to this day never got those. Even the backwards compatible version recently added to the Xbox One doesn't have them.
Console patches used to be so much worse, be glad that the companies that you believe don't care are actually willing to put in the effort.
...When did console gamers become self-entitled fools with no patience? Just learn to wait, don't act like you have a right to get whatever you want whenever you want it and you'll enjoy life a lot more.
PC doesn't = console. Console doesn't = PC. When you buy a game designed for a computer on a console, you almost always get the same patterns of long wait times for patches and controls that aren't really mapped well.
When you buy a console game that's been ported to PC, you get a different specific set of patterns. It's just the way of things.
Normally when a game is as broken as this there's usually a patch out for it in a few weeks.. But obviously not for this game..
I'm not self entitled. I want to play the game I paid for you idiot.
Also it is faulty. Because its not working as it should..
