Well, I think that it almost any game from any developer or publisher. Every game I've ever played has a community who complains about the same thing, even when the game no longer has support it is still not perfected. Thats the nature of things, no game can ever be perfect. But that said, I do think that it would have been nice if this game got more support. Yes, thank s to Doomdark for continuing the patching process, but I wish there had been more of an intentional love from the devs about the game, which could have been so much more had it been given the same focus as EU3. .

I'm fine with Rome as it is (and even as it was) and quite tired to this community that keeps barking around everywhere but I'm not fine with games that receive DLCs and/or huge patches right after they've hit the shelves. I agree, Rome was "broken", thanks to the patching (CTDs, cascading alliances etc.), but now it seems to be getting better.

What I was after with the publishing alpha comment was that a company shouldn't publish something if it needs 1,1GB patch (like a certain pirate game last year published by Paradox and developed by a certain Finnish studio..) immediately after publishing to be enjoyable. I understand deadlines and blah blah but still I don't think that waiting a moment makes as bad fame as non-working games.
 
What's all this? Another patch? Yes, it's true. After talking to some of our players in Australia while on a press tour for EUIV, I promised to fix the Councillor/Government screen crash in Rome. So go get it in the tech support forum.

2.36c:
- Fixed crash when having a free councillor position
- Fixed a crash that could occur at the end of civil wars or when countries switched tags
- Missions to get access to trade goods now complete correctly immediately when a trade route is done setting up

We need to crowdfund a team of stalkers to press our agendas in person to the Pox Dev Team while they're in public.

I will stalk them for free.
 
Hello everibody!
I just installed the game and I would like to update it. Could somebody tell me if i need to install all the patches available (1.x and 2.x) or only the last one?
Thanks!

You cannot and should not apply the 1.x patches to the 2.x base game. Just apply that latest official patch (2.32) to the Gold installation, then copy that elsewhere and unzip this 2.36 patch onto that copy.
