Beta 9 Major Problem

G'Day Team

I have played this game since it was a board game in the 80's. HOI is the only game me and my best mate keep returning to as we love the strategy.
We recently installed 1.03 beta 9 over Iron Cross - Arma.

One major game play problem has reared its head

1. The AI randomly chooses a country that 3-4 times a month it fires the Invest in Resources Event. THis allow this country in Invest in Industry\Technology\Military. I played a game as England and notices that New Zealand (NZ) was giving me alot of Tech. I stopped the game and checked NZ its economy was bigger than mine and had researched everything.

I created Austria-Hungarian empire and played this country. I had Spy satellite, MBT 105, Nukes to load into Missiles in wait for it 1939:eek:hmy:. France was toast!!

I played England checked on the USA it was building Nuclear CV in 1940:blink:

This fault needs to be fixed ASAP as it has ruined all my games. World domination is near impossible :excl::excl:

Also:

2. If a unit get out of supply the screen in over populated with the out of supply messages.
3. The build priority arrow needs to be put back to send unit to the top or bottom of the production line.

I have some other issues I will raise then later
 
I've just started IC again after quite a while because I found out about the beta patch.

I can't remember (assuming it's not a mistake) how to build certain things like airbases and radar sites.

On some HOI variants there is a radar base icon within the province screen but clearly on IC there is not. So I go to the economy tab but can't build any as the option is greyed out. I understand that the ability to build radar is linked to tech, but I have "Basic Radar" tech which actually says "New Building Allowed: Radar Station"... so how do I build it? Similar problem with airbases.

either untick the "build in province" tick box in the configuration program, or simply right click the province in game and choose a build item.

Thanks!
 
Problems with "Great Patriotic War" event (at least I think that's the cause).

As the Sovs, having been battered for a while by the Germans in quite an interesting war (they had invaded through Turkey into my relatively undefended Caucasus), I get an event of huge significance which gave all sorts of bonuses. Can't remember exactly what they were but it was very powerful, perhaps too powerful. The main problem however is that *every day* since the event, I have been getting an infantry division for each infantry division production line (that's 10!) plus one regional HQ... yes, every day! Sure I can offset it by simply cancelling the production but this surely can't be right, and why pick on those particular production items in particular?

Edit: I reloaded an earlier saved game to get the Great Patriotic War event again. The problem may be that one of the conditions is that build time for land units gets "-81 days" - I guess that makes infantry divisions quite quick to build!

... but it also ruins my game. Presumably in the game files there is a function which sets this, can someone with knowledge of such things advise if it is possible to manually change this and if so where and how? Much appreciated. And is this -81 days thing a mistake? Certainly sounds like it!

Problems with fleet composition, primarily Italians at this point. I generally set up transport fleets with heavyish escorts, perhaps 2-3 light cruisers and 4-6 destroyers and the same or less transports. When I save games and then restore, I find that if these fleets are at sea one or more flotillas will have detached and now have a new leader each. If they're in port, they will either do this or combine with whatever else is in there, into one massive fleet. I don't seem to be able to control this behaviour.

Also transport fleets with troops loaded which have a lot of escorts will not have an amphibious assault mission available, only shore bombardment. Sometimes.

Weird.

These are allied fleets where I've assumed military control. I'm actually playing German and they don't seem to be affected.
 
Hello as im not getting any response on my other thread can someone explain this. Does one still need to download the 1.02 patch first or are the 1.03 beta patches all inclusive of previous patches? Hope someone can clarify on this thanks.

Hi

Yes, you don't need install 1.02 (1.03 beta include all patches)
 
If I understand what you wrote here, after installing IC, I only install 1.03 beta. I do not need to install 1.01 and I do not need to install 1.02. Correct?

Correct


Cheksum patch: depends by the configuration (ironcross_setup)
 
either 6.6,22.6 or 20.7.:ninja:
