Fixed an issue where player list was not showing when interacting with Group, Player and Lobby chats. You can now see who is in those chat groups with you more easily.
Game will no longer crash to the Xbox Home screen when players select Play Again in the Summary menu while in an active group.

Player campaign progression more accurately reflects where you left off when you start the campaign on Xbox console and pick up on Microsoft Store (PC). Note that we have a separate bug related to Achievements carrying over from Xbox platforms to Steam when linking an Xbox Live account.
Fixed an issue that caused performance to noticeably decline after scrolling through match list in the Custom or Observer lobbies on Xbox consoles, and to a lesser extent on PC
Additional stability improvements made to the MS Store PC version of the game and stability logging changes made on the back-end to help with ongoing crash investigations.

We are presently aware of an issue that allows for multiple Chinese Imperial Officials to stack their Supervise ability on a building.
We consider this issue to be an exploit and will be correcting this behavior in the near future.

We are continuing our plans to release a larger patch later this month, as mentioned in our 8.1.185 release notes.
This upcoming patch includes stability fixes, a refreshed map pool, work necessary to enable some upcoming seasonal events and balance changes to reduce the effectiveness of late-game rams, address the strength of the Kremlin Levy Militia, improve the Ottoman Great Bombard, and much more.

DISCLAIMER Please note that this list is subject to change and should not be considered a comprehensive list of all the known issues we’re tracking.
The above is to inform you of the team’s current priorities, which will change as other issues arise or take precedence.
