Happy Thursday Victorians!

Hotfix 1.9.7 is now live! This hotfix contains some critical fixes including a frequent crash when looking at a states population tab, autonomous investments not updating target states and more!

We do have one issue regarding games started on 1.9.6, you can read about that and a work around for it below. Fresh 1.9.7 saves are not affected by this issue. 

1.9.6 Saves

If you are continuing a 1.9.6 save on 1.9.7, any expenses from a transfer goods article will stay with you after the treaty is withdrawn and will not be displayed as an expense on your balance. 

To get around this, you can do anything that updates the diplomatic actions or pacts of you and the nation you were transferring goods with, the easiest example would be to start and stop the Improving Relations action with the target, this should update and clear the invisible expense.

As always please report any bugs on our bug reporting forums! We have also updated the Known Issues post for 1.9 with fixed issues!

Check out the full patchnotes below! Checksum is ‘1741’

AI

• Fixed a bug where autonomous investment would not update its state target for a building type but instead construct the same building in the same state over and over

• Fixed a bug where the AI would not construct a sufficient number of ports to fix critical convoy shortages
