OK, I replayed as the Soviet Union with my HOI2 armageddon 1.3 plus beta patches plus DAIM/SMEP and related hotfixes/patches. This time, as I played historically(Finnish winter war etc.), I ended up with Germany not attacking me even in June 1942, so that I had to ally with a couped UK to even start a war with Germany without facing dissent-penalties etc. I ended up defeating Germany by early November 1942 and then a CTD happened after I had puppetised Central and Eastern and Scandinavia. I suspect that it could have been something to do with France being puppetised and causing a CTD(the only foothold the Allies had had on the mainland of Europe was western France - every other part of France was conquered by the Soviet Union. Perhaps that prevented liberated France from being set up. If you have some idea of what really is responsible for the bug I would be grateful if you could give me the relevant codes or whatever.
