Wow, a patch a week. Go CA! (Of course they could have tried to makre sure we didn't have problems in the first place

).

One of the biggest issues developers have, is that so many machines have so many different specifications which produce so many problems.

If PC's were all carbon copies of each other, like game consoles or Mac's, they would have a far easier time.

Well this is exellent news.

And great to see the Steam functionality providing an excellent add on.

Doesn't fix, real gameplay issues which are ruining the game and should have been sorted before release.

I'm sure they will be fixed eventually. But bigger issues generally take more time to fix.

Differences in graphics cards do not stop troops from getting on a boat. Hopefully they are going to stop the save game corruption though with this patch.

For all you Steam haters though, this is a great benefit of Steam ... regular patching.

I never had that problem, however, it does stop conflicts, crashes, memory leaks and other things.

Only problem I have had is broken land bridge between mainland Europe and Denmark if you don't own the territory.

Have you been trying to load the troops at a port?

Can't just load up anywhere anymore, need a proper dock etc.

and as far as the land bridge not working, would the other side be so friendly about receiving an invading army? I know I sure wouldn't be!

You can load them up basically anywhere, and drop them off basically anywhere too. To load, you have to put the ship right at the shore and when your troops are next to it, order them on.

Land bridge is an in game mechanic to cross an area of Ocean without need of a boat. It works on the Swedish side, but the other side is bugged.

the problem with that is once your land army moves to land it removes all move points.

whereas if you use the "disembark" option from the enemy port your land army retains its move points when you loaded them in your own port.....capish?

I have no problems getting my men on a boat ... the computer certainly has problems though ... as far as we are aware there is no transport by ship by the AI at current.
