okay i downloaded winrar and unpacked everything and overwrote it and everytime i try to start a game it just imediatley exits and say there was an error and arsenal of democracy is not responding and ideas?
 
I've had similiar trouble trying to get RC4 to work but I have now unpacked it and got the correct checksum of 1.04 XLNS but you need to unpack/overwrite RC4 with winACE (to get the files to correctly overwrite) as .jZip does not unpack the files correctly and gives amongst other things 'unwanted string' results. If you don't want to pay directly or indirectly to download the winace software then I'd wait for the offical 1.4 patch that will have it's own proper installer on GG. Hope that helps.
 
"unknown string wanted"

I just tried playing RC4 and all my corps have "unknown string wanted" under the corps name. Specifically, Germany in the 1936 campaign. I edited the scenario file a bit, deleting old subs and destroyers that I didn't want; reorganizing some air units to save having to do it in game every time I start over.

I thought this might be the cause of the problem, so I went over the scenario file carefully, to make sure that I didn't screw up any parameters. All the curly braces are in order.

I tried loading as Italy and they have the same problem.

I did a search and most of the hits I got dealt with other Paradox games, and were mostly related to piracy. If you'll note the AoD registration shield to the left of this post, hopefully we can save any insinuations of that nature.

Any ideas what could be causing the problem? I doubt it's my fiddling, but if I have to go back to the original file I will. Such editing caused me no problems when I did it with the original HoI2 years ago.

I unpack with WINRAR and it is still free and everything works fine. Google it to find the site.

This is not something I can reproduce. I would suggest installing the game a second time with 1.4. That would narrow things down to either the patch or editing.
 
I just installed a second time. No string error. I reintroduced my altered scenario file. Still no string error. Since I have to install manually (Damn Win7 UAC) I can only surmise that I overlooked some file on the first installation. Thanks for being ready to help and sorry for wasting your time.
 
Upgrade time 0.9 and all draft army

With an upgrade time now set at 0.9 (was 0.5) and an all draft army (upgrade time +50%), does it not take 135% of the time to upgrade a unit versus building one from scratch? It sure seems like it!
 
HI I'm playing a german game and I just noticed that all provinces outside of my capital have ambysmal supply effectiveness, the higest outside the capital is 25%.
I checked and when loading up othere nations this problem dose not exists.
I upgraded the Inf of berlin to 200%, but I also did so to a lot of othere provinces.

I can't think of any reason why it's so low........

Shouldn't happen with RC4 or the final version of 1.04.

Are you sure that's the version you've installed? What's the checksum shown in the main menu?
