They are around, but the last dev diary said spring, so likely end of March or beginning of April for the next diary

The problem isnt new information about 1.9, the problem is the crazy bugs which exist in the game and makes it borderline unplayable (stopped playing) and refusing to address them in a patch.
Just to mention a few:
  1. Privatization is broken when a resource is maxed out.
  2. Coop Ownership has been broken since 1.8 due to nationally owned levels
  3. Various wrong defines making the game do many wrong decisions.

Remember that answer, but overall I hoped for some kind of sneak peek. I guess they'll try a sort of overhaul of many mechanics, something like a VIC 3 2.0, that's why they are implementing these surveys.

Maybe when the surveys are finished, and perhaps the data collated and analysed.

Movements are also basically broken, with some not appearing, some never disappearing, and some having the completely wrong pop attraction in the code compared to what is stated in-game.

What is the co-op bug? I have completely forgotten

I'll stop the "2.0" speculation here, the surveys were done so we can see the community mood on those mechanics/features more directly, rather than through our normal means of looking through social platforms/analyzing how people play/gathering feedback (i.e. a lot of what we do in the community team), to confirm/disprove what we think people think about the subject and gather information for the future when we can get around to certain areas. This is the best time for this as we have a bit more time on the Community Team side thanks to not doing dev diaries for example.

Otherwise, we are going to be talking to you in Dev Diaries again reasonably soon and it should be pretty cool! As for game updates, we are focusing on the 1.9 update over more hotfixes - which may mean fixes go towards that over a separate branch. (For the coop bug specifically we have the fix targeted to use the privatize button as said in the linked post)

Fine, thank you very much. I very much appreciate your work, there is nothing like Victoria 3. Have a nice weekend!

I had to stop playing because of constant crashes to desktop when I zoom in. It started with the latest update of Vic. This is a brand new computer, with all drivers updated =/. But the devs said somewhere they aren't concerned about this, so maybe I'm unlucky?

Also, I thought "coop" is where one grows chickens and the like...

For number 3, can you let me know which defines you're thinking of, so we can cross check our list for 1.9? If you have a link to another post on that note, I'm also happy to look at that.

Do you by any chance have Windows 11 and update 24h2 installed? This may be the cause, so downgrading to a previous windows update can help.

As for Coop, it's a wonder of the English language one is said as "Koop" the other as "co op". Same problem with day pencil lead and how one leads, or the computer lead. All the written the same way but pronounced differently.
