Nothing, nada, zip. Tried it last week, still didn't work---in fact worse than before, it totally froze. But on a whim I tried it out after the patch finished downloading and wonder of wonders, I CAN FINALLY ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME. I did a couple episodes of the Road to Independence to actually try out what looked like fifty wasted bucks. The movies are still boogered up (play for half a second, skips two second, plays half a second, etc.) but who needs those. Woo hoo!

I just hope the next patch doesn't break it again.
There must have been some sort of patched slipped in with the DLC or something. When starting a campaign, Poland and Prussia seem to auto-declare war on Austria now on turn one, regardless of difficulty.
