Thats... what patches do.
Exactly. Happens every patch, so why not this patch?
Remember that the purpose of mods is to make changes to game rules, features, mechanics and other elements -- to make them different from what the game developer put in the official game files. When the game developer patches the game, they are also changing game rules, features, mechanics and other elements and they do that by changing the official game files. Mod authors then have the task of figuring out what they need to do (sometimes a lot, sometimes only a line or two) to make their mods compatible with the new version of the game, but until they do that there can be myriad game-breaking conflicts between the old mod and the new version of the game (or maybe only a few conflicts, but it only takes one to crash the game, blow up the UI, or trigger other wonky behavior). So, until you see that a mod author has updated their mod, you would be advised to refrain from using that mod. It is certainly not the game developer's obligation to fix everyone's now-outdated mods.

Any mod that alters the top panel of the minimap is not going to work correctly, not display correctly or not work at all because of the map search feature that was added in the patch.
So, yeah, Concise UI's map options would definitely not work correctly.

Anyone else have problems with the camera moving random directions. Till it reaches the edges of the map. I keep having to reload old saves to get rid of this bug temporarely. It keeps getting back every 5-20 turns or so.
