Greetings Warriors of Calradia!
This update adds new voiceovers for Gunnar’s world map travel and fixes multiple progression, quest, and alliance-related issues. It also delivers broad stability improvements, resolving crashes across battles, quests, campaigns, and modded content.
Please note that there may be a delay between the download of the base game and the download of War Sails. If you launch the game prior to both of them being updated, you will crash. If you face this issue, please verify your game files.
Please also note that Console hotfixes arrive with a delay, as their release processes take a bit more time. Releasing to PC without waiting on this process allows us to gather data and feedback more quickly - benefiting all platforms.
The following changes are specific to the War Sails expansion and are not part of the base game.
