Latest Patch is 1.3A

[Castellon]

THIS IS FOR THE REGULAR VERSION OF HOI2 NOT THE DOOMSDAY EXPANSION!

If you do install it on a Doomsday expansion, you will render the game inoperable, and you will need to do a fresh, clean install to recover.

For those that somehow did install this patch over a doomsday expansion:

The game, during loading, will produce the following error:

ERROR : (Unknown Type in NavalDivision) 'convoyattack = 14' Line = 19 file = db\units\divisions\battleship.txt

For DD patches go here:
Paradox Download Page up to date as of 2011-10-25.

There is an AI update for HOI2 Called 1.3B
you can use the free program called WinRAR (or any other program that will extract RAR files) to extract (decompress) the files into your HOI2 folder.
You should have 1.3A installed BEFORE you do this.

1.3B AI update can be found HERE

Please note that, after 6 years, some of the links will have changed, or the file was removed, links that have been checked and/or updated are marked.
As of 2011/10/25, this is the official page listing Paradox patches, and should find you most patches (including older versions)

Latest OFFICIAL Patch for HOI2 is Version 1.3A
(This update works with all 1.0,1.1 and 1.2 versions of HOI2 except the Polish Version which has it's own below)

And a warning. If you have modified any of the Hearts of Iron 2 files, the patch may not over-write your modified files. If this is the case, you should:
1) Backup your modifications.
2) Uninstall HOI2.
3) Install HOI2.
4) Apply the latest patch.
5) Figure out what you want to do with your modifications.

All patches May not be backward compatable, so it is recommended to start a new game with each patch.
