The third patch for Total War: Rome 2 has recently entered beta testing on Steam, prior to a full release next week.
In the ongoing patching process for Rome 2 patch 3 seems to be another pretty major chunk, juding by the extensive patch notes. The changes are too numerous to go through here but help with heading in the direction the developers discussed previously, which is only a good thing. The beta patch does have some fairly major known issues with alt-tabbing and changing resolutions, so should only be enabled if you know what you’re doing and don’t mind working around those problems.
