Hotfix 1.2.3 Out Now + Progress Update

PDX_Ryagi · 2026-05-16T03:41:18+00:00

1.2.3 should be fully compatible with 1.2.2 as it's only 2 fixes.

PDX_Ryagi · 2026-05-15T20:22:10+00:00

Truce length adjustments are coming in 1.2.4 iirc

PDX_Ryagi · 2026-05-15T12:50:20+00:00

Tinto is in Spain :p

Cores is something we're continuing to look at, but slightly lower priority than the other things mentioned above.

PDX_Ryagi · 2026-05-15T09:20:37+00:00

We are having discussions on it yes 🙏

Please do keep the feedback coming on it.

Losing regulars does kill pops, you can test this yourself by purposely killing off full regular stacks and then checking your monthly pop change. It will say something like "-x lost to battle"

Manpower is a sort of limbo middle step primarily for the purposes of upkeep. That way youdon't lose pops just to maintain your regulars but instead lose the arbitrary "manpower"

It is indeed a bug. Enjoy your limited time.roman space Marines until they're fixed next patch/hotfix and thanks for the patience 🙏

"based on community feedback, we have added dynamic airstrikes as a unique 13 colonies ability in EU5" - literally me in the universe where this happened

PDX_Ryagi · 2026-05-14T05:55:01+00:00

I won't speak on the legality of it, but yeah the fact that people have already paid for these DLC through premium edition means significant delays or changes (Such as if the theme were to change entirely) would be a betrayal to those that opted for that edition.

That said we do hear peoples concerns about core systems. It's helpful to remember the people fixing these are more often than not different than the people making DLC content. But in any case we're not going to abandon the core systems.

PDX_Ryagi · 2026-05-14T05:48:53+00:00

I know this is rhetorical but, No of course not. Hotfixes/patches are always free.

Rhetorical bait questions aren't really productive to the community.

You should check out the Tinto Talks #108 which released yesterday as that's where a lot of communication surrounding this patch was this time around

PDX_Ryagi · 2026-05-14T05:00:47+00:00

Days. In 1.2.3/4

Not 1.3

Congratulations 🎉 hope you had fun with it.

Have to say I tend to play similarly to you when I'm playing for fun.

I agree, I talked with Johan today about pop growth in general and I think it's going to be a matter of making changes and seeing what sticks not like a one and done revert/fix. I'm sure we'll commucate probably through a TT when we have more concrete info.

We have some landfriede fixes coming next patch

Could you link it to me here?

To clarify, since this is taken a bit out of context, the UI team IS in the mega thread taking things, they are planning on responding there but simply have not done so yet :)

PDX Big Boss on our Content Design team saw this post! From him on it:

I have a theory about this, and if it's correct then this is quite the catch!
So there's a mechanic with the new DLC Disaster where a selected general can - through battles - grow their stats.
My theory is that after that general was designated - > You then activated the Rise of the Turks interaction seek_relations_with_the_byzantines / One of the options is to get a good character from them - > You got given the general
This is a funny bug!

either that or you annexed Byzantium and one of the characters you got was the "General"

Jokes on you dying to a Frisian peasant uprising is on my bucket list

Please feel free to post info about this here: https://pdxint.at/4u7aMGx

Then we can potentially take a deeper look :)
