Update - Chat, Official Servers & Stability

States of Power · published 27 Aug 2026, 18:24 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

New

  • Dynamic speed on official servers - official servers now run faster while nothing important is happening, and automatically slow back down once real players go to war. A chat message tells you whenever the speed changes.
  • Chat improvements - filtered to show only real players, player names shown next to countries, better search, and the country list updates right away after an ideology change.

Fixes

  • Fixed several crashes: chat, civil wars in countries with 0 cores, invalid country colors.
  • Fixed an infinite money printing exploit while paused.
  • Units now change their flags after an ideology change, and carrier fighters no longer split off from their carriers when a civil war starts.
  • Fixed the scenario browser sorting dropdown being hidden behind other UI, plus more stable multiplayer connections.
