I have just bought the Hearts of Iron II collection UK. Bought it from D2D.co.uk and I didn't give any additional instructions. But d2d don't seem to have a patch offered on their website, so i got it elsewhere.

It installed to - C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive

It works just fine (I've been busy laying waste to Russia), no crashes.

But i'm trying to install the patch, and whenever i start the exe for the 1.2 patch it just says
"hearts of iron 2 is not installed on your computer. Please install the game before installing the update. the installation will now close!"

I hope I've just missed something simple here, but I'm at a loss.

------------------------------------------------

Game Version & Patch (incl. publisher): Hearts of Iron 2: collection UK, Direct2Drive.co.uk

OS & build/SP: Windows Vista Ultimate 6.0 (build 6001)

Computer, CPU & speed: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 400+, 2.4 Ghz

RAM: 2046 mb

Free HDD space: 146 gb

DirectX Version: 10
 
With Vista, don't install into 'program files' if at possible - use a custom install path such as games\hoi2

D2D games are supposed to be patched to the latest version. Which of the 3 games (HOI2/DD/ARMA) are you trying to patch, and what is its current version ?
 
Thanks for the response.
I'll move the install into the directory you advise. No worries.

i'm trying to patch DD up to 1.2 (i think that includes all the HoI2 stuff and then adds some new widgets)

I thought that about d2d games as well, but when i started up Doomsday it only says V1.0.
 
I bought HoI2 Collection from D2D earlier this week too and also noticed that the game version was 1.00 and no patch was available from D2D's patch page.
I contacted their support about this and the reply I got was this:

If a patch for a game has been made available from the developer to our technical team, it will be posted on our patch page here - http://www.direct2drive.com/patches If you do not see a patch for your game on this page, we have not recieved it from the developer at this time.

So it seems D2D haven't gotten the patch from Paradox.
 
Response From Paradox

I emailed Paradox with this problem and I received the following reply:
(I assume "not" in line three is a typo, and he means to say now.)


You have to install the patch from D2D, since they are not compatible
otherwise.
It turns out that D2D had not received the patches from us. I have not
uploaded them to our contact, and D2D should have them available for
download shortly. This will probably not be an issue if you use the
patch from D2D.

Contact them in a few days if the patch has not arrived.

Best Regards,
Paradox Interactive Support
 
This is odd.

I bought the Direct2Drive Hearts of Iron 2 collection. I installed this and then applied the Arma 1.3 beta 2 patch downloaded from the link provided via this forum here:

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=402220

After installing, I have the correct checksum of PHVR and the game works fine with no CTD's experienced in several hours of play. I don't even have an Arma folder after installing the collection, but Arma is installed at the 1.3 beta 2 patch works fine.
