Hello everyone!
We have opened up an open beta for Victoria 3 Update 1.2, which after careful consideration by the entire team has been named “Hot Cinnamon Spice”!
We’ve been working on this update for a while now and we hope that it will provide a significant improvement to your experience with Victoria 3. Before we unleash it fully we’d like for you all to give it a go and provide us with feedback so that it can be the best it can be. The final release date of the full update will be revealed later.
How to opt-in to the Open Beta:
First of all we'd like to recommend everyone to start a fresh game and not use existing 1.1 save files. To opt-in you right click Victoria 3 in Steam, go to properties, click on the tab that says BETAS and in the dropdown list there you should be able to select the “1.2-beta”. Let the game update and you should be ready to go. If you wish to opt-out from the beta you repeat the above process but pick “none” in the dropdown list.
Step by Step Guide
1. Right click Victoria 3 in your Steam library
2. Go to Properties
3. Click "BETAS" on the menu to the left
4. Pick 1.2-beta in the dropdown list
5. Allow for your game to update
6. Start Victoria 3 as you normally would
How to report bugs and give feedback:
Our primary channel for communications will be the Victoria 3 Discord Server in the OPEN BETA section where you can post feedback and report bugs!
You can also file bug reports in the bug report forum (make sure you specify the bug is found in the 1.2 Beta build).
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT BE COLLECTING BUG REPORTS ON STEAM - ONLY ON DISCORD AND OUR OFFICIAL FORUM
Updates to the build:
We’ll be updating the open beta build on a regular basis and any updates will be communicated on Discord. Please note that updates may render your save file incompatible.
