Original postPatch Notes
- Fixed a crash in multiplayer.
- Fixed being able to rig elections in neutral countries.
Also, if you are experiencing a crash as a result of this new patch, we've identified the issue which lies with the game engine. A solution is coming soon, but in the meantime we've put in place a very simple fix:
Exit the game using the "Exit" button in the main menu.That will trigger a needed repair.

Original postWe've got some big news to share with you soon about Precipice, and in preparation for that, we're happy to roll out the Brezhnev Update. Note that this is a significant new update that is going to demand players revisit their old tried and true strategies.
The biggest new addition is safeguarding and rigging democratic elections. You get the credit for this one. It was a great idea, and we couldn't bear to see it not implemented in your favorite Cold War diplomatic simulation. (insert bear pun of choice here)
RIG ELECTIONS
Every ten years a "democratic" (we've been pretty generous here) country opens up a window of opportunity where an adjacent or present spy can flip the loyalties of a a country that slightly-favors your rival. This cannot be challenged by your rival, and costs 3 AP (but no resources). The window of opportunity is limited to two years, and then closes for another ten.
SAFEGUARD ELECTIONS
For 2 AP you can protect a country's elections from being rigged, completely negating the effects of the action. This does not require a friendly spy to be deployed in the area.
Other Patch Notes
- Agents can no longer be deployed to a country at war.
- Agents must leave a country when it goes to war.
- Changes to the tutorial.
- Glitch repaired when counterspying in Canada.
- Updated match log with color coordination for allegiance changes.
- Prevented a potential crash on game boot.
- AI no longer counterspies the same country multiple times.
- Additional MP stability enhancements.

Original post- Fixed: Turkey not being in NATO on Land Rush.
- Fixed: Not being able to select Venezuela during the Tutorial.
- Civil unrest now increases at a faster rate.
- AI made a little bolder -- less likely to back-down.
- Players now can select the agent that is being deployed. Tutorial updated to explain this.
- Bugfix: AI more willing to nuke the player than before.
- Bugfix: Ability to win by your opponent being removed from power while attempting to launch WMDs upon your nation restored to the game. The likelihood of this event is known to your rival and is randomly generated to be between 0 and 35%. Players can choose to leverage this information however they please :-)
- Single-player turn-limit now can be raised to 200 turns.
- Added: Input of network address & opting-out of "pairing". This is for a small minority of users. Game settings are saved only after hosting/joining a match and they will be lost when the game closes. It is not suggested that players make this setting persistent due to some users having dynamic IPs.

Original postIt is with great pride and relief that we're able to present to you a complete overhaul of Precipice. We went down to the very codebase itself and rebuilt absolutely everything from the ground up in an effort that took...eight months? Can that really be right? Here's what you need to know: the multiplayer is now stable -- we've handled network events in a new way using new engine features that were not available to us previously.
We have listened to your requests and taken into consideration what works and what doesn't, mechanically. While we can't be all things to all people, we hope that some of these changes in the Kennedy update will be well-received.
Patch Notes
* Completely overhauled the code-base with a goal of improving network stability.
* Improvements to the AI.
* Unified front bonus of NATO removed.
* Unified front bonus of WARSAW PACT removed.
* Unified front bonus of EAST ASIA increased from 3 to 5.
* Majority bonus of NATO increased from 2 to 3.
* Majority bonus of WARSAW PACT increased from 1 to 2.
* Majority bonus of SUB SAHARAN reduced from 3 to 2.
* Majority bonus of EAST ASIA increased from 2 to 3.
* New mechanic: stationing. Placing troops in an allied country drops the stability of a rival-held neighbour by one. Get ready to argue over your defensive troop deployments.
* Agents that are successful in their missions get a .25% bonus to future missions, to a cap of 10%.
* Compatibility with Hamachi VPN.
* Foreign aid gives 5% odds bonus for Diplomacy for that active turn only.
* Improvements to camera zoom in/out transitions.
* Hotseat wait between switching turns.
* Tutorial is now optional.
* Tutorial slightly re-written.
* Perks can now be sorted between US/USSR.
* An exhaustive list of bugfixes.This has been a big step, but we are hoping this is only the first in a line of future changes. The next thing we want to tackle is further improvements to the game's UI, and we will be producing a roadmap to better supporting Precipice over the next few months. We'll be watching feedback and the Discord server closely to make sure these changes haven't resulted in any new issues, and after that we would love to hear what you would want to see in further updates.
Thank you all for your continued support. Enjoy!
