Crusader Kings III Patch Fixes Various Coronations DLC Bugs

Crusader Kings III’s latest patch 1.17.1 update was implemented on Sept. 17, correcting various bugs that plagued the latest paid DLC for the title. Crusader Kings III Coronations DLC cost $4.99, and was greeted with “Overwhelmingly Negative” Steam reviews across over 700 users having provided input. 

The DLC was released on Sept. 9, with most user reviews complaining about the rushed DLC, which was released in a buggy state, according to the vast majority of reviews. After the mass wave of community negative feedback, the QA Manager publicly apologized, admitting Conornations was “not up to the standard” the players deserved. 

Here is the full list of bugfixes implemented, according to the official blog update:
