Followed by saying that it was a leaked patch. That works for some. for some others not. Now the patch needs to be used onto a fresh vanilla instal. Which still creates problems for some, for others not. While nobody can say anymore if it is a leaked patch, or not. And if it has been taken offline by CA, or not. And CA having delays after delays. And is said to have found another couple of major bugs - not in the game, but in the planned patch. However, CA says nothing on anything anytime anymore, just adds to the confusion by remaining silent and giving not a single word on the confusion currently dominating the scaene.

What a chaos. What a PR desaster.

However they are already busy to advertise an addon to M2. While the main game still is not fixed. Obviously resources that would have been needed to get the patch done correctly - were spend on an addon, at the costs of the needed patch.

That's the state of the union - more than half a year since full price was payed by customers.

I am now conducting a full stop. I'm done with the Total War series' future

What ive read the "leaked" patch works fine on a fresh install and is great. Big improments in the the AI especially. The problem was some minor thing with the installer. Ive just ordered MTV2 and cant wait to try it out in my new hardware. You can get the the patch from a torrent that is in Total War Center forums.
