I don't think Paradox has ever done anything like that so soon after a patch. The closest would be the more recent "retrospectives", but those have all been multiple weeks after the patches released.

Looking at the dates in the wiki, 1.36.1 was 8 days after 1.36 and 1.35.1 was 2 days after 1.35. But you may be right that they don't tell beforehand about upcoming hotfixes.

Clearly it depends on how critical they deem the bugs. Given that I still have water damage in my room from those Chinese flood events, it's no wonder the first hotfix for 1.35 came out 2 days after release.

Nevertheless, I kind of expect a balance patch within this week or next. Considering this release had no major bugs that I aware of, only typo and balance issues as usual.

Depends on how you define major. When a DLC only introduces content (mission trees), but a certain part of it doesn't work (so far I've seen bug reports about Theodoro, the Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, Trebizond, Hisn Kayfa, I'd say that's a pretty major problem, even if their severity varies.

I guess it speaks once again to the question of what the hell is QA doing, because half of the stuff reported by the playerbase could have been discovered just by spending 30 minutes while testing the content with the console.

Hello everyone - here is our first patch for 1.37, featuring over 100 fixes in total.

Notable changes include:
  • “Gothic Invasion” now accounts for the new Gothic culture that is part of the Germanic culture group.
  • “Great Moravia” achievement now accounts for Great Moravia's cores.
  • The Timurid mission "Mamluk Delusions" now requires 40 instead of 50 provinces, no longer demanding the player to make up 4 additional provinces in these areas.
  • The Bohemian mission "The Golden City" no longer allows the player to develop the province for an unlimited time. It is limited to only 3 uses, giving a total of +9 development in total.
  • (Microsoft Store edition only) New 1.37 achievements are now listed in-game

As always, please report any issues in our bug report forum or submit a support ticket. And be mindful that while these changes shouldn't affect 1.37.0 save games too profoundly, this is something we're not able to fully guarantee.

- rewrote the decision requirements for Venture into Tribal Lands.

# Other

###################
# Script
###################
# Achievements
- "Mayapahit" no longer requires you to own or have a subject own Madura as it is technically not part of the Java island even though it is part of the same in-game areas.
- Removed an unnecessary requirement from the Hungarian Games which asks you to have been in Hungary at any point in time as it is only visible to you if you started as Hungary anyway.
- "Timurizz" now makes it clearer that the allies with 100 Trust and with 150 opinion to you are the same.
- The achievement "Mayapahit" now allows you to form any other tag than just Maya. As long you have formed the Mayas at some point, the achievement can be earned.
- "There Khan only be one!" now requires you to be a horde or the Great Mongol State at the end too. In other words, if you start as a horde and reform into a monarchy before killing all other hordes the achievement would not trigger until you return to being a horde.
- Improved the description of "There Khan only be one!" so it is clear that every country (except for you) cannot be a horde.
- Changed the visibility requirement for "Veritas Vincit" from owning "Winds of Change" to owning "Art of War" and "Emperor" as the mechanics required to fulfill this achievement are behind these two DLCs.
- Improved the visibility of the following achievements so you no longer have to form the specific country to see the achievement: "It's all coming together", "Baborg" and "Get out of my swamp!".
- The achievement "The Hungarian Games" now counts won battles against the same country up to 3 times. A 4th won battle against the same country will no longer count for the achievement though.
- "The League of Mayapan" will no longer disappear from the list of achievements after it's completed.
- "Great Moravia" achievement now accounts for Great Moravia's cores.
- Updated the achievements' descriptions of "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword", "Take that, von Habsburgs!", and "The Ostenders" to properly adjust with their script.
- "Gothic Invasion" now accounts for the new Gothic culture that is part of the Germanic culture group.
# Decisions
- Made it so you can't form AUH whilst in the relevant disasters.
- Reward from NED_glorious_revolution is now kept after forming the United Crowns.
- Great Moravia can now be formed through indirect ownership of the required provinces and the decision to form it is visible from the start.
- The "Reform into Prussia" decision will now mention the "Prussian Path" instead of the "Prussian Kingdom Path" in the trigger tooltip.
- The "Reform into Prussia" decision now requires you to have one of the Reformation religions when you don't have Lions of the North.
- "Reform into Prussia" has no longer unlocalized text in it.
- Improved the trigger tooltip for "Venture into Tribal Lands" so you no longer have to look at the effects to get an idea of what you have to do to colonize the neighboring provinces.
- The decision to "Expand the VOC" is no longer available to every country that has territory in India. This removes the ability for Indian states to commit suicide at the press of a single button.
- Players no longer have access to the "Form Austria-Hungary" decision while the events "The End of the Hungarian Revolution" and "The End of the Austrian Revolution" are actively on the screen.
# Events
- The event Raabisation now properly grants its rewards.
- The Russian events regarding the peasantry now remove ALL serfdom-related estate privileges with every step before applying the new privilege. This should cover rare cases where some serfdom privilege was "stuck" on the player even though they progressed through the event chain already, but should by default not change much for the normal experience.
- Fixed an issue with the "Muhammad Juki Seizes Initiative" (flavor_tim.20) event.
- The event "Gold Mine Discovered!" has now a goto button.
- The event "Heir needed in <Theocracy Country>" has now a 40-day cooldown between each instance. This should remove the cases where the event triggers twice for a country.
- Refined the descriptions of the "End of the Tatar Yoke" further in case Muscovy devs its way out of the yoke...
- Added a special event text for the case that Muscovy grows too powerful to be influenced by the Tatar Yok while Sarai has never fallen.
- Fixed missing ruler name and dynasty for the "Hungary wishes to join the Empire" incident events.
- The Polish event about the Election of Kasimir will no longer display certain tooltips that have no effect without the "Lions of the North" DLC.
# Missions
- The mission mongols_tumu_crisis can no longer be instantly completed.
- Made it so the azt_unify_mexico mission's title does not overflow out of the UI if you are a theocracy.
- The "Emperors of Rome" mission now gives rewards according to the chosen path.
- The mission Refine the Condottieri will no longer grant Mercenary Leader Army Tradition.
- Sarig Yogir is now granted the basic Mongol missions.
- The "Statists and Orangists" mission can now be completed after manually switching to reform with the Dutch Election.
- The mission tre_trapezunite_pride now has an alternative requirement if the province Trebizond produces Gold.
- The Dutch mission "Hansa Relations" now always rewards you regardless of how you complete it.

- The Austrian mission "Surpass the Poles" now gives the PU CB against Poland until they have more than 400 total development instead of 300 total development.
- The Dutch mission "Ending the Sound Toll" has its reward now properly available for Holland, and not just the Netherlands.

- The Austrian mission "Italian Ambition" has its rewards no longer exclusive to each other.
- The event from the mission "Question of Azov" now properly triggers for Genoa instead of Theodoro.
- The Bohemian mission "The Golden City" no longer allows you to achieve Leviathan-levels of Development in a province any more, limiting the maximum amount of dev gain to 3 times (so +9 development in total).
- Forming Prussia as the Teutonic Order before completing "Defeat Poland" will now automatically complete the mission and select for you the Prussian Path.
- The Russian mission "The Fate of the Peasantry" is no longer blocked if the player goes a weird path of crushing the peasants just to liberate them later on anyway.
- The mission "Endthe Regency" now automatically gives you the Hussite branch as long you finish it while NOT being Catholic. Updated the tooltip too to reflect this change.
- Deccan now has religion after being released through the MUG_viceroyalty_of_deccan mission.
- Forming Yuan while being a horde will no longer lock players out of the mission "Four Great Schools".
- Fixed inconsistency for the Church estate naming in the Yuan "Inward Perfection" / yua_inward_perfection mission, as it referred to twice as "Clergy" and once as "Shizu".
- Fixed the reward of the "OMA_buffing_outposts" mission that was dependent on Trade Companies for non-Dharma owners.

- Added missing declaration of war string for the Mesoamerican Tributary subject.
- The government reforms "Roman Empire" and "Roman Republic" now require you to be either the Roman Empire, Byzantium, or a custom nation atop of the normal Roman culture requirement. This should avoid the weird cases where the Client States would call themselves the "Nth Rome" by enacting the reform.
- The Sich Rade government reform has now - 75% Capital Movement Cost to synergize better with its Itinerant Capital mechanic.
- "Expanded Black Army" will no longer show that mercenaries are free of Army Professionalism cost if you do not own Cradle of Civilization.
- You no longer have the "Start War in Colony" button for Sunset Colonies subjects as it cannot work outside of Colonial regions anyway.
- Fixed an issue with the 'Compromise with the Hungarians / Austrians' decision.

There it is.
 
The army, haggard and starved, stands at the gates of dev land. Behind them is the vast, empty, cold wilderness of no-information land. Armed with the weapons of speculation, the army attempts to scale the walls. However, their bodies, at the same time emaciated from the lack of information yet also bloated with speculation, are not up for the task. they fall in droves as the cannon of each refusal rains grape-shot down upon them, being ruthless in its effects. Yet these men cannot die. Forcing themselves to get up by the painful memories of buggy patches and 0/0/0 heirs, they again assemble at the gates of dev land, and prepare to do the dance again: to beg, to storm, and to fall and rise again. They are animated by the thirst for content and flavor, their unending desire sated by the release of new patches and DLC's, but the thirst soon returns, and the haggard armies assemble again. And again throughout dev land Johan assembles the cannons of delay, preparing to hold off the animated corpses that once were men until he can patch together a dev diary to fling across the walls. But the tribute is never enough. Someday, EU4 will release its last patch, and dev land will fall to the ravenous horde. For this was how it was laid out long, long, ago, in the time before time, by the Gods of Paradox.

If they want to add more life into the game, they should game rules like in CK3 so that players can choose how they want to play (more sandbox vs more closer to history).

It's clear to me that 75% of their team is working on project Cesar. So we are left with any patch retrospective DD not time frame for patches. And when I see the number of confirmed bugs in the bug report section, it's clear there is a lot of things to fix so having a plan from PDX would be good...
I don't play some countries just because of those bugs.

And there are still hefty bugs with Byzantium related to issues cause by Pronoias and various gov reforms which only treat vassals and marches and can't handle the new subject type. Clearly nobody ever played through a campaign with these Byz new subject type and tested the interactions.

From Tinto talks and maps, they seem very active for the studio. However I wonder for EU4 is it on long term support or already on end of life? By the way is there a roadmap for EU4?
