Hotfix 1.31.1 was also rolled out at the end of April to tackle some of the issues introduced with Leviathan.Įurogamer contacted Paradox last month for comment on the release, and was told the following: One patch is planned to release this week, with another due by the end of May or early June. He felt that there should have been a break in the development of EU4 after the release of the Emperor expansion, 'until we had a team ready to start designing and working early in 2021'.Īs a result of the negative feedback from the release, Paradox Tinto is now accelerating its plans to fix all legacy bugs for EU4, and wants to ensure these fixes are rolled out frequently.
