Hearts of Iron 3 Message Board  

Apologizing in advance for the Noob CAPS.. Im just frustrated really need some help here.

IN GENERAL -
Hey fellas, wow - I am pretty upset and need some help. I have purchased ALL THE MODS for HOI-3 for the stand alone version you buy at the store. Frustrated I purchased it threw STEAM as well. NEITHER ONE!! will work.

*** Heres all the information you could possibly need to trouble shoot this for me.

My Hardware & Game Installation Specs-
(Powerful Water cooled AMD2 16gb DDR3 RAID 0, Windows 7 64bit)

After Patching to 1.4 (I know longer have my stand alone DVD its packed somewere / so theres no going back) so after patching to 1.4. Normal game mode works great, and always has. All of my sprite pacs installed and work great.

PROBLEM SPECIFICS AND ERRORS -

When loading the Dies Irae: Gotterdam mod for first time threw the startup menu - instant blank screen with large windows pointer(Music Playing). Hit any key and pointer switchs to HOI-3 Clock (Loader) pointer. Followed emidiatly by crash.

Have taken the MOD and manual copied it over ontop of existing files as recommended by a developer at PARADOX. Makes no differance.. When I have gotten it to load threw my STEAM version it gets to the Scenerio or Save game selection MENU. After PRESSING PLAY the same type of crash happens. Ive reloaded the game multiple times. Ive change the resolution, turned off multisampling done it all.

I KNOW SOME OF YOU KNOW THE SETUP FILES MUCH BETTER THAN I DO - AND SURELY SOMEONE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND KNOWS THE FIX - PLEASE HELP.

Thanks guys,

If you would spend a lil time in searching then writing, you would have found something in the official PI forums.

Dies Irae wont work atm with FTM, but the devs of this, first planned only as mod, work on the problem and hope to release a patch soon.

So your saying the Super Fi - Dies Gotterdanmm mod they released via steam will not work? with motherland?? They sell the entire package with all mods sprite packs ect - in a package deal.. and you are correct, only the motherland works... That is the stupidest thing I have ever hurd.. I have several threads going on the paradox sight.. And we are not getting a clear answer from them either.. There tecs are going as far as pointing the finger at us the users, as not installing it correctly ect ect... It seams previlent most on Win 7 64bit box's so far... Check out the threds there if you might bro.. forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?431-HoI3-Tech-Support

we are all frustrated and your input would be both helpful and welcome.

Thanks - Rommel99

Mod working for me with all but FTM. All sprite packs installed. HOI3 patched to 1.04 and SF 2.04d patch. Also have the common wpns mod installed. When i installed the DIG mod to a folder on desktop I only copied the folders gfx & mod to my HOI3 folder not the 2 uninstall files. But working fine without CTD.
