The end date can be set by the scenario if you choose that option. I estimate it is heavier on the CPU than HOI2 but not too much. My Cold War extension will indeed allow you to play Germany till 2010 but the play will probably be sluggish after about 1955 and I don't have many new people for Germany after about 1960. or event support. You'd have to put the people in. However, I do have some of the models. I've set all my scenarios to end in 2025. As for "the AI stopping" the only issue is the expiration date of the AI files.
 
Your mod is so fun. Right now I'm playing as the USA in the Fatherland scenario, fighting against fascist Europe. Got the no time limit patch working.

Just a quick Q: Does the Soviet Union have any events to merge with Russia? And, will I have to get AOD to see the finished product for the mod(have you moved out of BETA for AOD?)

Anyways, I hope you manage to release a complete version of the Cold War Tech Tree. If you want, I could make events for some of the nations.
 
I'm running 1.2 of the game (at least if the readme is any indication), with Steam HOI2 version 1.2, checksum ALCY. The spy crash bug was reported as fixed somewhere around page 30 of this thread, in 2009, but it's still happening to me -- it looks like there's one particular spy message that causes the game to seize up. I can provide a savegame if necessary (and if I figure out how to post attachments on this board).
 
Hepzibah3, if you're still listening: I was able to get it working in Steam following the readmes, but it took a few tries. One very important point: Doomsday lives in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\hearts of iron 2 complete pack\Doomsday (or regional equivalent), *not* in just common\Hearts of Iron 2 Complete Pack\. Trying to install in the latter won't work.

You'll know you've succeeded if you get the "Cold War Extension" graphics on loading (and the extremely long, dense tech trees).

Good luck -- PM me if you have more trouble.
 
Problem - some of aircraft techs are shown slightly to the right of the page, and the three bottom fighter techs all show UNKNOWN STRING WANTED. How do I fix this?

In the '48 scenario, the USSR has over 100 divisions. This seems a bit excessives, especially since it gives them the largest army in the world. And I'm not entirely convinced that Nepal and Bhutan should be in the Allies.

Also, the Nav-4 and CAS-4 models are described as turbojet, but they don't require turbojets to be researched.

I realize this hasn't been updated in a while, but I want to say that I am still using this mod every time I play HOI2. :)

I expect no answer of course, but is this compatible with saved games? Would everything still work correctly or would I need to start a new game?
I expect it isn't, but I hold on to the hope that it is :p

I'm honestly not sure, but you should download this mod either way!

I have been using it for years, and even downloaded some of Omega20's new scenarios and overlayed this mod over those scenarios.
 
The mod sounds great, I'd love to try it! I just don't want to lose all my progress on my current game, you know?
Any idea on how I could tell it's working or not with my saved games? Would an error pop up or would I need to look out for oddities in the game itself?

You could always make a copy of the HOI2 folder (including your save) and place it somewhere else on your computer or on an external drive.

If you download the mod to the original HOI2 folder and it messes up your game, simply delete the original folder and rename the new copy of the game back to 'HOI2' or whatever it is currently. Since the game doesn't need a disk in the drive in order to run, you can simply launch the game with the executable file in the game folder with no problems.

As to knowing if it works or not, I think you would have to look for errors in the tech tree and with unit cards (the only main things changed that I can think of) and if you have a CTD, it definitely isn't compatible.

If you have any more questions about this, feel free to PM me!

I noticed that strategic bomber model 6 is not buildable. Bug or Wad ?

I would assume bug, but I didn't design this and the creator is AWOL.
 
Why my game is randomly crashing? (This random crash events didnt happened on my other HOI2Arma copies that is arleady written over by mods like Kaissereich,Iron Cross,Modern Day Scenario,and fallout) (yes,the HOI2Arma folder i installs CWE are vanilla)
 
did this thread stop being maintained? i like the idea of using more techs in the cold war...
 
I have the same problem.
It crashes annoyingly often and I have yet to see a pattern if any of my actions cause the crashes to happen.

Also, it seems extremely easy to successfully create a Coup in other countries.

Is this as planned?
