Greetings folks,

We're back with a small but important update for Total War: WARHAMMER III. Today, we're rolling out Hotfix 5.2.4 to address a specific issue that has been affecting some of you during your Warriors of Chaos campaigns.

• Resolves a crash to desktop (CTD) that could occur when pressing the 'Choose Path' button in the 'Path to Glory' panel.
  

We know how frustrating crashes can be, especially when you're deep into the chaos of battle, and we appreciate your patience while we worked to get this fix out to you.

Additionally, we want to provide some clarity regarding a note from Hotfix 5.2.3: "The AI-controlled Lord will no longer withdraw when ambushed if it has a good chance of winning." The change is not specific to Lords. The correct information is that the battle AI will not withdraw when ambushed if its army has at least 75% of the attacker's army strength. Army strength is calculated by the sum of its units' strength. While this unit strength value is not visible to players, it is a key factor in AI decision-making, greatly enhancing its battle strategies in many situations.

We are also aware of a separate issue, not addressed in this fix, where an army may retreat in battle after already retreating earlier in the same turn, causing the entire army to be wiped out. We are actively investigating this and appreciate your reports and feedback on the matter.

As always, thank you for your continued support and feedback—it helps us keep improving the game. If you run into any new issues after updating to 5.2.4, please report them in our dedicated bug reporting sub-forum.

See you on the battlefield!
