In a post on the same forum, Paradox community manager BjornB expressed similar sentiments. In a since deleted post (available on the Web Archive) on the game's forum, Andersson wrote that they had 'identified and corrected some issues in our production process based on learnings from this release and are taking concrete action - both to fix the existing issues and to ensure future releases meet the quality you expect.'
