A glance at HoI3

[frunk]

The 1.3 patch is about where I would normally expect a Paradox release + initial patch.  Fully functional and somewhat fun but still requiring a couple patches to be a quality game.  Unfortunately this is 3 months from release.

I'm having fun playing it but I think my initial estimate of next August + mods for a really great game is looking correct.

There's no intention to fix infinite naval range for the AI. So I'm still gonna pass.

Although fortunately for Paradox, there are posters who will defend the Finnish invasion of Hawaii on the grounds that Britain invaded the Falkands...

40 years later, maybe.

The new patch is a big step forward.  Now the game crashes during the tutorial.

Did you get your copy from Steam?  It sounds like there's a bug in their distribution.

[Ed Anger]

Against my better judgment, I purchased this for 15 bucks.

Nope.  Gamersgate.

If you've registered your copy go to the tech support forum and give a post, so far only Steam customers were having problems.

So, are the dreadnoughts any good?

First run through:

HOI3.exe has stopped working.

Good 'ol Paradox.

I was reading something the other day about 1.3 and Windows 7 having some issues for some people.  There was some sort of "fix" that someone posted.  I'll see if I can find it for you.

Edit:  Eh...I can't find exactly what I was looking for with my halfassed search.  There's this though: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=442469

Also something about giving HoI3 admin rights, etc.  Things like that.

I must say, Paradox games gives me warm feelings. Fun to be treated like a pirate.

It's for the best.  The game is more frustrating when you get it going.

[Ed Anger]

I think I'm about done with Paradox. Just ain't worth it.

Oh..Steam?  Good luck to you.
