Victoria 3 — Hotfix 1.13.10 is now LIVE! - Not for Problem Reports!

Happy Wednesday Victorians!

Hotfix 1.13.10 is now live! With a wide array of fixes and other improvements, including; Improvements to naval mission UI and tooltips, fleet visibility now working as intended, a fix for naval invasions being stuck at 99% and much more!

Also, before we get into the hotfix, a small word on the AI Update (1.14). Our first post-break Dev Diary will be coming next week, and we should be ready to share more information then. Until that time, here is a look at our improved hiring & wage tooltips for buildings! While not directly related to AI, part of the focus of the AI update is also to make underlying game logic decisions like this more transparent and thus able to be better improved for player and AI alike.

As always, please report any bugs on our bug reporting forums! We have also updated the Known Issues post for 1.13 with any fixed issues.

1.13.10’s checksum is 2964 and you can check out the full patch notes below.

The following changes have been made to the game compared to 1.13.9:

Improvements

• Added a button to pause construction on individual construction sectors
