Current Patch on PC is Patch 20/Ancestral Update, with a couple of hotfixes/balance patches. It accompanied the release of Rise of the Republic DLC.

Finally, the Current Patch on MAC is Patch 17. It accompanied the release of either Black Seas Colonies or Wrath of Sparta DLC, but I forget which.

Unfortunately MAC hasn't received the "second generation" of Rome 2 updates at this time.

Hope that helps.

All the Best,

Thank you WD,
so we have 4 patch notes for the actual patch, ok. But I thought there was a patch a few days ago, is it just the same name but changed a little bit or do I misunderstand something?

The four patch notes is because first Patch 20 was a beta (1,) then they expanded the beta (2,) then after Patch 20 went live people were having issues with too many successions so released a hotfix (3,) before then doing a slightly more extensive change and adjusting the balance in Rise of the Republic based on player feedback and further testing at the same time (4.)

There hasn't been a game patch in a few months now (well the last hotfix was December I think.) If there was an update a few days ago (I didn't notice,) it was probably just updating the launcher with new news to show (likely connected to Three Kingdoms.) Alternatively if you got an unexplained download it could have been a mod updating or a file having got corrupted and being fixed.

And happy to help.

All the Best,

Welsh Dragon.

Ok well, you are the best helper in the forums here and again thank you, now I understand the patch in its actual version is from december, that fits to the news, and the latest launcher update in fact was the lunar sale thing or something else. I rhink the latest launcher update confused me, because someone was opening a discussion about the latest update and there was some speculating about patches or whatever.
Ok everything resolved, thank you
