And we got a patch!

Guess the naysayers were wrong after all:

Looks like the focused on the most important issues as well such as multiplayer stability problems.

Good, nice start for the first patch. They said they will tweak modding limits, pathfinding and AI problems in the next patch. and what about UI tweaks? I hope for those as well

[|Sith|Galvanized Iron Raptor]

Yes it appears also they addressed those odd phalanx behaviours on city streets where they would turn the wrong way, which files under what some call pathfinding I guess. But yeah it is good that they addressed things reducing playability first.

Well, I am surprised they intend to address AI and pathfinding. And you are right, it is most important to fix crashes. But being brutally honest there isn't much here that will quell the rioters. In particular, not even a token mention of the UI or Win 7 (especially the UI). Personally I am getting used to the UI, but doesn't that ignore about 75% of the criticism of the initial release?

[|Sith|Galvanized Iron Raptor]

I think the Win 7 crowd is a fairly small group and since they cannot play it at all I would assume they have moved on by now

[FERdeBOER]

Does it work with saved campaigns?

Thanks for posting this here

Stability is very welcome. Just like the old Rome it crashes randomly when you get 30+ provinces... they didn't have to remaster that ;P
It's not terrible because it happens every so often, but it's extremely annoying when it does.

I'm pleasantly surprised about the AI and pathfinding. I wonder what they can do there.

You're welcome. I figured many people repeatedly doubting that there will be patches here do not check the official discord. Which is also where the patch was announced.

[Plinto]

wheres the audio fixes?????? battle sound effects are almost inaudible, how do you launch a remaster and screw up the sound this bad and its not one of the first things you fix????

[|Sith|Galvanized Iron Raptor]

The sound is there, must be a unique bug you guys are having

Make that a major desync fix, it made it real hassle to play MP when playing with randoms. If network stability is okay there is really nothing major left to complain about. Just some nitpicking about the pathing, but it is no worse than in later TWs.

To be fair, they do say they are working on AI and Pathing. I can understand that might be a bigger effort. On the other hand you could add -No battle audio fix- to the list. That's a big one for many folk. Still hopeful....

[Boicote]

I hope they fix the problem that doesn't allow modders to change the UI icons . If you try to modify the tga files inside the UI folder, the entire UI doesn't work anymore. Modding factions will be always an incomplete work if you can't change the faction icons.
