Hello everyone,

There's a new public beta update installer available at the following download link: HERE

For Steam users, you can switch to it by going to RTW3 in your Steam Library, right-clicking on it, choosing Properties -> Betas -> then choosing the latest beta branch from the drop-down list and allowing Steam to update your game. If it updates correctly, you should see the latest beta version listed as your version in-game on the bottom right.

What's New in Version 1.00.51:

• Fixed some tech inconsistencies when playing with low research speed.
• Made sure the AI is not building airbases or carriers ahead of their time in games with low research speed

What's New in Version 1.00.49:

Campaign Generation
• France might now have one or two CV in a 1935 start.
• All nations might have CVL in a 1935 start.
• Fixed a data error that could cause a communist China to have the wrong flag in a 1920 start.
• Fixed a bug with legacy ships occasionally having a missile maintenance cost even though missiles were not invented.

Strategic Layer
• Made unrest more likely to come down when naval budget is low.
• Fixed a bug where AI nations said they cancelled an alliance but then didn't.

Battle Resolution
• Some additional adjustments to splinter and HE penetration.
• Some tweaks to make AI ships less likely to get hung up on land.

Ship Design
• Fixed a bug with the number of secondary guns determining the ammo loadout for the tertiary guns.

Officers
• Commanders will no longer risk dying in fleet exercises.

Game Preferences
• Mitigated some tech inconsistencies when playing with very low research speed.

What broke for you? What is the issue you're encountering?

What broke for you? What is the issue you're encountering?

There's a recurring bug that prevents the game selecting a flagship for the player in the battle game. That means that there are no player fleets displayed. It makes it rather one-sided. Still happens after installing the latest update.

It didn't happen before I installed the update, or during beta testing.

Next time it happens I'll post a screen grab of the error message.

Thanks. Is this consistently reproducible? Do you have a save you could share with us demonstrating the issue?

It seems to happen randomly, in every game since I installed the update.

Do you want the whole save folder?

Just the relevant save number folder where you've seen this issue reoccur.

Thanks, we'll investigate.

For the record, I see this bug intermittently as well.
