Note for Tamas: "acquiring" a copy of the patch won't work either, because it just told me it couldn't find HoI3 installed. :P


Apparently, you suck.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Whoa they weren't kidding about the performance increase.  A day takes about half the time it did before the patch. 

Edit:  Diggin the simplified terrain mapmode.  Now if they could only somehow combine that with the political map, I'd be all set.  Oh and it doesn't seem to unpause anymore when you select a unit from that side dropdown menu thing.  That was terribly annoying.

I can't figure out how to get it through Steam.  Isn't it just supposed to, like, auto-do it?

I miss the old zip archives that you manually configured.  So much less opaque about how they worked.

Any of this helpful

I'll try it, but isn't this the same GG-version installer that can be acquired elsewhere (edit: and for a fraction of the download time)?

I reckon I'll take the plunge tonight.  I'll try from Gamers gate because whenever I download a game from Steam I can't find the files that make up the game.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I haven't tried 1.2 yet, gotta say that I still find unlimited naval distance for AI quite disgusting, it basically renders the pacific theatre meaningless, and a joke.

But unlimited naval ranges are the norm for P'dox games no? I remember seeing Aussie and Jap fleets duking it out in the Med in HOI2

But the devs said specifically that that wouldn't happen this time. :shrug:

They changed their mind and returned to unlimited range? :huh:

That's it, no buying from me.  :mad:
