Does the Arsenal of Democracy version of the MDS 2 mod have the same lag issue?


EVERY single day at the 23:00 to 24:00 switch, it lags for about 3-6 seconds. This makes the mod miserably unplayable and unacceptable in my opinion.

I want to run it at max speed to develop my nation in peace-time and it takes 2-3 minutes to go through 10-15 game days at max speed because it lags 3-6 seconds every day at the day switch.

Can anybody copy the entire file from the game in the torrent, and add a link to it? I tried to install this patch, but I can not do it properly.

Doing that would be illegal.
 
Copying and distributing anything but the modded files (and copying the whole folder would be exactly that) would still be illegal as it would include parts of the original game that were created by Paradox and not by the modders. Your request may be innocent in that you just want to play the mod, but it's still against the rules, so I doubt you'll have much luck with it.

But there are also countries, where it is not illegal. Ukraine for example.
 
Might be but Paradox or these forums don't operate by Ukrainian law.

Actually, German laws on the visual representations of Nazism are enforced, especially on the Heart of Iron games forums. Mainly because Pdox sells games in Germany, and I believe its a big part of their market thus why they follow these laws.

(But the moderators work on a certain "don't tell, don't ask" basis, meaning that its not to show in screenshots or advertised, since many mods actually give the 3rd Reich Nazi flag and that flag is illegal in Germany)
 
There are exclusions to the ban of nazi symbols, actually, depending on the context they're used in. The problem is how to categorise a pc game like this. It could be argued that it is a historical context and to some extent maybe educational (and thus the use of nazi symbols would be reasonable). Others may argue that it's sole purpose is entertainment (in a broader sense). Both is true in one way or another, so Paradox will take the save route of avoiding any (publicly acknowledged) use of such symbols in it's "sphere of influence".
 
After waiting for so long, I was able to try this out at last! This mod is excellent, thank you. I played the Philippines and annexed China, which felt good, especially in light of current events.

Just to bring up some of my observations - not that I think they'll receive any response, but I want them here for posterity.

1. Not sure why the Philippines doesn't have resource surpluses of any resource. It has enough to cover its IC needs, but little more than that. It's not a big issue, though, and just being self-sufficient is fine - although the Philippines stops being self-sufficient after a little industrial expansion.
2. A bigger issue is how absurdly skilled Chinese generals are. Is there any rational reason that not just one, but many Chinese generals would have four or five traits, such as Offensive Doctrine, Winter Specialist, Logistics Wizard, Panzer Leader, and Engineer, all at the same time? What in the world?? Even the best generals in WW2 don't have four or five traits in HoI. I honestly cannot think of any reason for this except pro-China bias on the part of the developers (not meant to be offensive, but just saying). Anyway, the ridiculously overpowered Chinese generals didn't stop me from annexing China. :p
3. Killerrabbit said, back in 2009, that China's economy had already surpassed the US in PPP terms. This is not true. It isn't true even now, in 2014, and it wasn't true back in 2009, and it definitely wasn't true in 2003, when this mod begins. Your bias is showing. ;) But anyway, it's all good. I suppose it has to be done for balance.

Out of the issues I mentioned, the only one that really troubles me is the overly skilled Chinese generals, since there is no fathomable reason for that one. Unlike the US or Russia, China hasn't fought a real war for 35 years, and there is little evidence that the Chinese military leadership are at the forefront of modern military tactics and strategy in the way that, for example, German officers were in WW2. If anything, the US should have the best generals in the world, yet that is not the case.
