When I bought HOI2 several months back, I picked up the 'Hearts of Iron II Collection' edition, hard copy (the Anthology, I guess, although not referred to as such on the box/CD/etc), and installed the thing. Since installation it would never load Armageddon, however, and every time I try to run it, a message pops up asking me to 'please install the latest milestone.' One assumes this milestone is a patch or other hotfix for Doomsay or HOI2 itself, but having not been a member of these forums until now I've not had the wherewithal to find that out.
My main question, aside from 'is my assumption correct and where, if so, do I find said patch/hotfix,' is whether or not doing all of this and then running Armageddon will in any way ruin the months'-worth of save games and such I have on Doomsday - the extra events, scenarios and mostly the extra 11 years of playing time would be great, but I'd be loathe to lose all of my data (including a few nightmare games I come back to specifically when I'm feeling stressed out/feel the need to be a meany!) for them if that'd be the case.
So, yeah - to summarise, is that issue solveable by a patch or something, and would solving it abort all of my saves etc so far?
Tech-wise, I'm using Windows Vista Service Pack 2 on a fairly robust laptop - AMD64 processor, Nvidia GeForce graphics card, etc, and everything else runs like a dream so I'm fairly confident it's not a hardware issue.
Cheers.
