Above is the screenshot for the problem i am facing.
Please tell me what happening and how to fix it.

My thread : http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...l-Flag-black-colour-for-Stars-and-Stripes-DLC

Hi there, i am reporting bug that the flags is black in colour, i tried verify game cache but the problem still the same.

Any thoughts on this ?
 
What is war plan red?

A decision that gives you 1000 Manpower and declares war against the UK.
In real life, invading Canada was a high priority with this plan:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Red

In Stars&Stripes, the decision can be made before Canada joins the Allies, therefore the decision should enforce Canada to join the allies.

Kudos to Devildread for including this alternate path.
 
Black Flags problem

If after executing the game with the mod Stars and Stripes enabled you have black flags :

the .tga file "flagfiles" in this folder got broken :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\mod\Dies_irae_USA\gfx\flags

Replace ONLY THIS FILE by the one in this folder :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\gfx\flags

Hey, I know this is going to be a little non-specific, but something is setting all of my marine brigades to 500/3000 strength. It sure isn't combat, some of them were sitting in washington DC waiting for a transport and got hit by it. The only things I can think of are they were upgrading amphibious equipment and usmc division status, and I had just learned airborne warfare equipment. I didn't notice immediately, so I can't guarantee that any of those things caused it. Sucks to have all of marines waiting around for reinforcements unexpectedly.

The USMC Divisionnal Status tech changes the manpower of US Marines brigades from 500 to 3000
 
oh, so that must be what the +25 strength thing means. Well, good to know I suppose. I guess the 'strength' is based on 1= 100 then. Can't believe I didn't notice that they had 500 strength to begin with.

########### DIES IRAE: STARS AND STRIPES #############

## PATCH 1.1

- Added combat_movement_speed 20% bonus to Japan as long as they have no embargo from USA in order to help them to deal with China

- Added 50% manpower bonus to the gameplay faction difficulty events

- 101st Screaming Eagle division's name is deleted from the list of available names (since there is an event leading to its construction)
- Added a CAG to the Lend Lease Escort carrier build list

- Replaced the wrong armored infantry divisions in operation downfall with 2xArm+Mech

Thanks for the patch. Any thought on linking lend lease to manpower? Historically the USA limiter the number of divisions it built to keep the arsenal of democracy going.
 
the .tga file "flagfiles" in this folder got broken :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\mod\Dies_irae_USA\gfx\flags

Replace ONLY THIS FILE by the one in this folder :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron III\gfx\flags

Thanks it solved my problem.

Btw, will steam auto update it ? I means the new patch.

Since I alter my USA.txt file quite a bit, I just wanted to know if it had been changed other than deleting the 101st Airborne from the naming pool. It didn't look like it had but I just wanted to check to make sure.
 
Tried to install patch and overwrite to HOI3 folder, when attempting overwrite it says there are 35 errors and patching process stops.
Used to be able to run it as Admin, now the game crashes to a black screen and I have to restart. Not able to play at all now.

There is no flags directory in Dies Irie USA. I just downloaded it and the directory is not there.

The flag directory will create itlself on the first launch of the game.

Nothing more than the 101st airborne thing.
