Patches and hotfixes are updates for Victoria III, though they are different in purpose:

  • Patches generally introduce new features or content, fix many bugs and implement balance changes. They are sometimes released alongside new DLC; when this occurs some new features and content are restricted to owners of the DLC. Patches typically increment the second number of the version.
  • Hotfixes are generally smaller updates to the game that fix a few bugs or make small changes to balance. Hotfixes are commonly released shortly after major patches to fix any unforeseen bugs that came with the previous update, or independently to fix newly-discovered bugs or exploits. Hotfixes typically increment the third number of the version.

Note: Most DLC cannot be activated if playing on a patch version preceding the DLC's release. This also applies to mods, which have various levels of compatibility with different patches.

Checksum[edit | edit source]

Each patch has an associated checksum that allows to verify the installation is correct.

It is displayed in multiple places:

  • In the main menu and the Join Game screen in the bottom right.
  • In the Host Game screen, under the Game Info tab in the top right.
  • After creating a multiplayer game, under Game Settings tab on the left.

If your checksum is different from the official patch checksum, it may be due to one of the following:

  • One or more mods are active
  • The game is in debug mode
  • One or more game files have been changed or corrupted

Rollback[edit | edit source]

Patches, especially major ones, can introduce anomalies or incompatibilities with save files from older versions. In this case, if playing on Steam, a player can roll back to a previous version in order to preserve their current playthrough.

  • On Steam, right-click on the game in your library and select "Properties" then "Betas".
  • In the "Select the beta you would like to opt-in" dropdown, choose any past version of the game.

Note: It is not possible to revert to an earlier version on other gaming platforms other than Steam (at this time).
