Old World Blues patch 4.1.4
Update 4.1.4 was released on October 22, 2022.
Patch notes
Major Features
- Compatibility with Hearts of Iron IV Patch 1.12
- Disabled the old achievement system and converted over to the new one provided by Paradox
- Setup division commander mechanic to function for owners of BBA (Notes: the division unit details menu portraits are not all configured yet. We will add more portraits over time)
- Setup functionality for Unit leader medals. (Notes: They currently use vanilla GFX, names, and stats but we will introduce Fallout themed medals over time)
- Significant optimizations made to some code to improve performance. Should see a rough 20% reduction to CPU usage in the early game, but results may vary between different sessions and hardware
