Date: March 5th, 2026
Previous Patch: 1.0.11
Hello all! I'm Ryagi, Community Manager at Paradox Tinto
On February 3rd we released an open beta version of 1.1, Rossbach. Today we're happy to say that patch 1.1 Rossbach is officially live! Thanks to your feedback during our beta period, Rossbach features hundreds of tweaks, changes and additions.
As a reminder, this means the beta branches of patch 1.1 are no longer available.
Can I keep the same save game?
If your save is currently on beta 1.1.8, you should have no issues loading the save in the now live version (1.1.9)
If your save is from the live version 1.0.11, we highly recommend starting a new save game. Though based on our testing your save should technically load, we'd advise you do so at your own risk. The 1.0.11 branch is still available as an option if you want to wrap up your save there first.
1.1 Beta process
We made a post yesterday detailing some of our findings from the beta process during 1.1, please feel free to check that out if you haven't already!
