Hi all!
We're now releasing the 2.6.2 patch together with improvements and fixes for the EU4-CK2 converter.
Warning: Using modding traits from 2.6.1 or earlier since the new 2.6.2 traits will break them.
2.6.2 summary
The 2.6.2 patch has been in Open Beta for a while so that we would keep the performance on a good level and we now feel ready to release it. The patch includes new event chains, game rules and bug fixes.
Save games from 2.6.1 should work fine, but as always we can't guarantee that it works 100%.
Converter changes summary
While the converter has been getting updates from time to time to account for new things added in EU4 expansions it is not always making full use of the newer features both in CK2 and EU4. The EU4 1.18 Prussia Patch adds institutions and overhauls technology penalties, again prompting the need to update the converter. We have used this as an opportunity to fix old issues and account for newer features added to the games.
Functionality has been added to adopt your EU4 game to the status of your CK2 one in matters such as dynamic provincial development, government ranks, making the CK2 heresies and religions use the new religion features of EU. Time has also been spent to fix old issues like missing flags for rebels, errors in province mappings, and missing descriptions for the converter religions.
Enjoy!
