Hi!
I have seen that many of you have had a problem with checksum when trying to play a multiplayer game (if you try to play with a friend who has a different checksum, you won't be able to join his game).
At first I reinstalled the game until I got the same checksum as the friend I was trying to play with, but purely by chance I "discovered" a simple solution:
The checksum is dependent on a file called misc.txt and it's found in map db in DH folder. So if you have different checksum than the friend you want to play simply follow these steps:
1)If you play Darkest Hour Full go to the game directory then Mods-->Darkest Hour Full-->db and find the misc.txt ; for the DH Light go to Mods-->Darkest Hour Light-->db ; same applies for HOI2 Arma or Iron Cross.
2)Copy misc.txt and send it to your friend, he should overwrite his misc.txt in proper directory
3)Voila! You have the same checksum - enjoy playing
P.S.: Another cool thing with misc.txt is that it controls a bunch of settings like max. size of air-stacks (iow. how many air units you can merge into one group(the value is 4 by default)) or what percent of Industrial Capacity you get from occupied provinces(non-national and non-owned; you can set any value between 0.0 = 0% and 1.0 = 100%)
