Greetings Queens & Kings! We are now opening a BETA Branch available to all Steam users, to enhance Multiplayer Stability. After the success we saw with previous Steam branches, we are hopeful that this one will help us to address issues with our Multiplayer system. This branch will stay open for a few months to help diagnose as many issues as possible. With that in mind, we ask that if you do participate in this Steam branch that you PLEASE RE-REPORT ANY MULTIPLAYER ISSUES YOU MAY BE FACING as it will help us determine how the fixes on this particular branch are going in real time. This Beta branch is entirely voluntary and you are under no obligation to participate if you do not wish to do so. As always, we appreciate & value your input. A message from ou QA Team: Our mission is always to deliver the most quality product as possible to the player. QA acts as the player representative within the development team, and works towards providing the team with as much information as they need to create a product that is as fun as possible to play. We are aware of numerous issues, including the Out-of-Synchs, empty lobbies, incorrect version issues and with this open Steam beta we aim to improve the multiplayer situation. As always, please report anything you find on the bug report forums and we will check it out as soon as we can. We really appreciate uploading the randomlogs which include multiplayer logs to the bug forum reports as well because this helps us immensely. Logs are available in the folder under C:\Users\\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\oos. We hope you help us in reporting any and all issues that are still pain points for you, as well as any issues that are still occurring on the open beta branch. It is important that older issues are reported again so that we know if they are still occurring on the beta branch. Read the News on our official forums.
