KR4 0.3 Changelog

KR4 Alpha 0.3 - Eternal Peace
The KR4 team proudly presents patch 0.3, known as Eternal Peace! This one has been a long time coming and we are so excited to finally release it. Bug reports and feedback will be even more highly appreciated than normal over the next few days, so please go to the PDX Forum, Reddit or Steam and give us feedback; we are listening. It also goes without saying that this is not even close to save game compatible. While we couldn’t quite get everything in, we still think this is a huge patch, and hope you’ll like it!

The rework of the German focus tree isn’t done, and again, will be added at a later date, but some minor changes have been added in the meantime

A few changes from HOI4 1.3.3 couldn’t be ported across in time (Russian infrastructure changes for example), will be added later
A few minor bugs haven’t been fixed, but they are all just typos, cosmetic or missing gfx...with the exception of:
Puppets are still not peacing out correctly, we have been trying really hard to fix this one, but aren’t 100% sure we have been successful, so any saves with this bug would be priceless!

Bug Fixes

Note this isn’t a complete list, it is really hard to record every single bug we fix. That being said most should be here, but don’t lose heart if a bug you reported isn’t listed here. Also sorry if this list is a bit of a mess, it has been copied straight from our bugtracker with very little clean up.
