The most significant fix addresses a Crash to Desktop (CTD) occurring when Army HQ units were destroyed under specific conditions. This was notably problematic during complex scenarios like the four-way Spanish Civil War, where unit deletions could trigger a total game collapse. For players currently in the middle of a campaign, this hotfix provides much-needed stability to avoid losing progress during high-intensity frontline shifts.
Beyond stability, the hotfix resolves a visual bug where the Thunder at our Gates (TaoG) DLC icon failed to appear in the main menu. While minor, it ensures the interface correctly reflects active content for those who have expanded their game. Looking ahead, the developers have confirmed that this is only the first step in a multi-stage patching process.
What is coming in Patch 1.19.1?
While Hotfix 1.19.0.1 handles immediate technical fires, the studio is already prepping Patch 1.19.1 for release early next week. This upcoming update will focus on balance and unintended mechanic interactions. Specifically, players can expect a revert on how General planning skills affect command ability costs. Currently, an unintentional effect is skewing the meta by making these abilities cheaper than intended; the next patch will restore the intended resource economy.
- Fixed crash when Army HQ units are destroyed.
- Resolved TaoG DLC icon display issue.
- Patch 1.19.1 scheduled for early next week.
- Command ability cost bug fix confirmed for 1.19.1.
If you have been experiencing stability issues since the last major update, ensure your client is updated to 1.19.0.1 immediately. The team is also monitoring for further feedback to include in a planned 1.19.2 version later this month.
