Incomplete Content
While the China and USA rework is coming along nicely, they won’t be ready for a while yet. We know you have been waiting for them for a while, but it will be longer yet I’m afraid.
Vietnam, New Zealand, Royalist Romania, Sweden, Japan and Greece were all scheduled to get reworked in this patch, but sadly got cut due to time or unforeseen circumstance. Hopefully they will make it into next patch.
Much planned content for releasable nations, notably in Africa and Southeast Asia, was also sadly cut due to time, again hopefully will make it into next patch.
The German and associated ME rework was sadly not able to be completed fully in to, some of the preliminary work is in, but expect the full rework to follow soon.
Fixes
Notable Fixes
Over 100 rare CTD’s fixed
Many of these would be more common in multiplayer games that lasted into the 1940’s, so may have been the cause of the issues there
Fixed map errors in southern Canada, Florida, Finland, Hungary and the Balkans that caused the AI and frontlines to do funky things
Fixed a major bug in our AI peace conference code that impacted a lot of nations but notably led Austria to only annex Greece, only for the Balkan nations to declare war upon them again. No more 14th Balkan War!
Significant bugs that were preventing vital Mittelafrika events firing have been fixed
Significant bugs caused by duplicate events fixed in the Russia-Japan-Mongolia events
The German capitulation event chain has been completely re-written. Among the notable effects: occupied states by non-faction members will be retained after the capitulation, so long as they connect to either their home territory or the coast. German troops will no longer remain indefinitely in Germany. Territory occupied in Mittelafrika and AOG will be retained in much the same manner as in Germany, and some additional logic has been added to the exchange of territories throughout.
An issue regarding units sitting around in former enemy territory after a white peace (it’s a vanilla issue, but one Paradox hasn’t fixed yet) meant instituting a system where the AI can get military access for 30 days to countries it doesn’t have access to. This gets the units moving, so if you notice the access happening that’s why. It is indeed removed after 30 days, however.
Several 1000 errors in minister files have been fixed, everything from wrong ideologies to totally missing effects
Other Fixes
General localisation improvements for Japan, Russia, Portugal, American Union State, Combined Syndicates, Flanders-Wallonia, Lithuania, and Switzerland

Fixed Russian focus tooltip using wrong state names to refer to Fengtian states
The Russian focus to demand Greater Armenia no longer cancels itself constantly
Fixed a bug where Russia demanding Greater Armenia would result in an Ottoman exclave in Lazistan
Fixed a bug where Russia backing down from Georgia would make Azerbaijan, not Georgia, happy
Communard France shouldn’t declare the acquisition of Romandy a success before it has actually happened
Fixed the Qing asking themselves for help if Japan attacks them
Change the focus descriptions of Russia’s “Bjorko Act” and “Intervene in the Second Weltkrieg” to indicate that they can entail Russia joining a faction

Fixed an issue involving a Fengtian general’s defection, thanks to new Cornflakes mechanics.
If Germany has made a deal with Canada to return British land, they will consider doing so before they decide whether to release British puppets. The return code now takes into account Scottish and Welsh land, which might not have British cores by this point.
The Canadian decision to restore the UK now allows for Canadian puppets to own the land and automatically takes them into account. The code for GBR release has been cleaned up and some bugs with it fixed.
Fixed some instances where New England could be released with territory not belonging to the releasing country.
PSA becoming the USA after Civil War victory now lets USA inherit PSA’s technology.
Additional sanity check added for the Siamese Civil War, hopefully works perfectly now
And many other fixes we forgot to write down
