Hey all, Got another hotfix for Strategic Warfare! We're continuing to follow up on pathfinding issues and still trying to figure out why some users are still getting crashes or freezes on their autosaves. It's proving increasingly illusive and we still have zero reproduction cases on our end. We keep following up on every case we come across to try and figure it out. If you encounter the autos…
Hi everyone, As some of you probably know, some players have been experiencing crashes when autosave gets triggered or when they overwrite a save manually. I'd like to thank everyone who sent in their saves and logs. Unfortunately, all the logs that came in have shown nothing, zilch, zero. Like everything's dandy, while of course, it clearly isn't. We've expanded the logging of the save process…
Another hotfix to help resolve some of the most common issues. Note we're aware of an issue where demolishing buildings don't offer a refund properly. We're working on it! Hotfix changelog · \ Demolishing a bridge that was saved in a previous session will no longer cause a UI soft-lock. · \ Battallions and other divisions will no longer refuse to attack regions or join frontlines. If they do, P…
Finally identified the culprit behind the on save crashes. Decorations. Not all, but some. Saving with them in the city would essentially freeze the game on saving, push it into a loop and crash it. That is the ONLY fix in this tiny update, but I think we can agree it's important. My sincerest apologies to everyone who experienced these issues. As always, if you continue experiencing crashes or…
Hotfix Changelog · \ A potential crash when loading an existing save file. The crash is linked with a specific save file version and a fix for a locked production chain entry. This prevents the crash from happening in any combination. · \ Made loading the Supporter pack pooch more bulletproof. If the 'good boy' loads in at a later stage (the beauties of async), he will woof happily instead of b…
Hotfix Changelog · \ "Finish the tutorial" achievement can now be properly... achieved · \ Heritages no longer show they provide Region stability bonus in any form as that is no longer used at all. · \ Disbanding a tank division can no longer grant back corvettes and similar nonsense · \ Resource overview (default TAB) no longer shows stale icons of what buildings are producing. · \ Resource pi…
Hey everyone, got a number of fixes for this hotfix. Thanks for all the feedback that's been coming in, we try and go through everything and get back to you. Recruitment A note on Recruits needed for military unit training. Note that recruitment happens from your unemployed pops. That's the total pool available. Once the unit is trained (drafted) it's removed from your pool, but typically gets…
I've noticed some lingering issues regarding pathfinding (for example issuing the move command to behind an AI controlled ocean region). This will be addressed ASAP. In the meantime if this happens, please navigate around the ocean regions manually. Also, if by any chance, you have an open battle with a coastal or island region (attacking from the sea), and the battle doesn't resolve, enter the…
Hotfix Changelog · Fixed an issue where immigration for The British Isles were too low to register meaning playing on those maps would prevent your population from growing.
Hotfix 1.05.002 Changelog · Fixed an issue in the second tutorial "Modern Warfare", where if you click Central Europe while having your infantry division selected the Tutorial soft locks. · You need to select Central Europe, any selected division is force deselected to prevent confusion and to enable direct selection of a region · Even if a division is then reselected, the region will recognize…

Hello everyone, Before we kick off today’s dev diary I’d like to let you all know there’s actually a new feature in Kaiserpunk that we somehow forgot to mention during our Anniversary Update .

This is of course just to allow…
Hi everyone, We hope you’re all enjoying the summer so far! Today we’ll be talking more about Kaiserpunk’s AI.

Let's dive into it! What Happened to My Armies? First off let’s talk about t…
Hi everyone, After last month's Anniversary Update , we’ve been hard at work on the Warfare update and today we're diving deeper into the heart of it: The Fronts! This will be a new gameplay mechanic that activates when war breaks out between you and a bordering region, allowing both sides to allocate armies and resources to push through and capture the opposing region. There’s a lot to cover i…

Hi everyone, Today marks a special day for us - it's been a whole year since Kaiserpunk was released! It feels like everything happened in a flash, and somehow over a lifetime at the same time. Much has happened since then, and while we’re still working on the game, we want to mark the occasion by looking back at how Kaiserpunk came to be and evolved along the way. Watch Anniversary Video Befor…

Greetings governors, As some of you have reported, there's been some issues around war weariness and peace negotiations where peace has been very difficult to reach with the AI in some cases. We decided to look into this in particular and have made some changes to help improve this while we're still working on our long term warfare changes. We hope this helps as you'll be able to reach a peace…
Season’s greetings, Governors! As mentioned in our latest dev log , we had one more update planned before the holidays - and here it is.
