Geoplanetical Patch 28 Oct 2026: What Changed

I read the Steam News item rather than a changelog mirror. The clock on the API is 28 Oct 2026, 17:05 UTC. The title date matches that clock. Four changes are in the post. I am paraphrasing them.

Change	Why it matters on this site
Switching a one-party state no longer hands the country to the AI.	A politics bug, not a balance change.
The new-game screen shows seats and alliances correctly.	A presentation repair; it does not establish new country-opening statistics.
Laptops were launching on the integrated GPU.	This is the patch the requirements page cites, next to the pinned how-to.
The frame cap on the menu and the country select was ignored.	Menu FPS, not the in-campaign counter.

Original editorial diagram: supply, connections and a destination. Not a tactical map.

Original editorial diagram linking policy, economy, systems and diplomacy symbols around an abstract globe. — Original editorial diagram: policy, economy, systems and diplomacy around an abstract globe. Not a benchmark.

Full text stays on Steam. This page is the index and the cross-links.

What version number is this?

The post is titled “Release Patch notes 28/10/2026 - 1.” There is no semver string.

Does this patch fix every low-FPS report?

The note describes integrated-GPU selection and menu frame-cap fixes, not a blanket frame-rate cure. The displayed time on a separate FPS discussion does not establish its UTC timestamp or its order relative to this patch.
