[Dies Irae: Götterdämmerung] Report thread

So, just to confirm for all, your install went like this: HOI3> SF >FtM > 3.05 >DIG > v2.06

Right? - Rick

Correct, that is how I did it. I make a new copy of the game for each change I do to the installment. That way, if something goes wrong, I can delete the copy, go back one step, make a new copy of my backup and then try to upgrade/patch from there again. Saves a lot of time for the use of a little extra hard disc space

EDIT: All of my games are from GamersGate btw

@RickR: Thanks, i seems to be that dies irae doesn`t run correct with the hoi 3 collection cause of the included sprites... :-(

I have a problem with DIG and FTM. I bought the complete steam collection when i tried DIG the game crashed. I installed the beta patch Now the game is "technicaly" running but in any event pop up i miss the event description and if i had to do choices there are only numbers but i am not able to see what i decide ? I tried german or english language no difference is there any ETA when the patch goes live ? and is working

 

[Borsook]

Thx cwhomer - the patch did it...

I thought steam have allways the highest patch...

many thx for help^^

Don't assume so, e.g. steam skipped one HOI3 patch altogether...

I do exactly the same. Currently, I got 4 copies: 1. HOI3 v1.4; 2. Hearts of Iron III v1.4 + SF2.04f + FtM no patch ;
3. Hearts of Iron III v1.4 + SF2.04f + FtM 3.05 ; 4. Hearts of Iron III v1.4 + SF2.04f + FtM 3.05 + DIG 2.06 so like you I don't have to go through the process of downloading new a game and reloading all the patches, etc...saves a lot of time. I write this as a hint to those new to HOI3. Yes, I also buy my games through GamersGate. I tried Steam once long ago and never will touch it again - never. Rick

 

[RickR]

Thanks for the help but sadly that is not the problem. I followed those instructions carefully. I extracted the file directly into the location pointed to. I had often re-tried this over the past few months in the belief I must have just overlooked some small detail. Still no joy.

KB, Did you try Nimrod's suggestion and manually copy Patch into the mod folder? Any luck? - Rick

Okay guys, I'm listening. What is wrong with Dies Irae: Götterdämmerung 2.06?

The naval map is being reworked and is waiting for the finale FTM patch to come up (since the map is changing).
The next update will be on a few weeks after the finale FTM patch as well. And maybe one update after this one if I see big problems.

I want buglists, savegames and screenshot proof.

--edit: DI:G is using the current FTM map.

I'm using the beta 2.06 version.

Bugs: the conning towers of the U-boats still have the 1936 year to start research but can't be researched until the coastal (38), medium range (38) and long range (37) Design & Systems techs are researched. I've been looking in the file folders but don't see where to change the conning towers (I don't even see that tech even though I see the other U-boat techs)

You can alter the system techs to 36 yourself allowing you to get to the conning towers faster but just wanted to point this out. I just started playing HoI III again after a 5 month break and relearning everything.

Hi DevilDread

I think I have pointed this out last summer, but I'd like to repeat it: There is a problem with the Operation Weserübung tech. It takes forever and you have no way of getting it done in time for a historical April 9th 1940 invasion. The tech is 1940, but it is delayed heavily from Germany having zero naval combat experience and also zero Fleet in Being doctrine.

I tested, and even if I start researching it on April 2nd 1939, it won't be done before April 19th 1940 (and then the fleets have to upgrade!)

I would definetly keep it as a 1940 tech but make it much easier regarding the practicals requirement?

Suggestion concerning Condor Legion event and benefits

Would it be too much to ask for a change in the Condor Legion event and benefits, so that it gives a few points of Land Combat and Air Combat experience? That IMO would be more realistic and benefit the player in whichever fields/techs/doctrines the player would then choose to concentrate?

Right I'm going absolutely spare trying to get this damn thing to work.

I have it on steam, I have all the DLC, I have verified the game integrity twice, I constantly get that error line 433 message pop up I have followed the instructions that others have placed here and it still refuses to work.
I got the FTM3.05 patch and it says "for the motherland dosent seem to be installed" I know for a fact that it is because I have been playing it this very day.
I would really have expected something actually on the steam store to work without such a huge amount of hassle.

What order am I supposed to do this stuff in, should I just delete the whole damn game and redownload Hoi3 on its own to get dig to work?

Hi Uberbyford, I don't know much about Steam except to stay away from it - sorry, that's my own humble opinion from experience.

Commander-DK just confirmed this load procedure: HOI3> SF >FtM > patch 3.05 >DIG > patch v2.06
Note: BEWARE - ensure you place DIG patch in the Mod section in DIG where it belongs (see first or second post on this thread). Many of us are gulity of patching the main files instead of Mod/DIG)
(if you want to do it the long-hand load just to be sure it's:
HOI3> patch v1.4 > SF > patch v2.04f > FtM > patch 3.05 >DIG > patch v2.06 but it shouldn't be necessary but now you know what patches are in use in case you don't want to trust Steam.

I recommend before you update to DIG that you get a clean version of FtM v3.05 working with the correct CheckSum of : UBYY.
I further recommend that BEFORE you proceed to DIG that you make a copy of your working FtM 3.05 just in case and besides you will need it in the future. Also, start from a clean install, make copies along the way...

It's a stable product as I and others have had it running for years now on XP and WIN 7 so you got that working for you. I can't remember the CheckSum for DIG but it is also posted on the first or second post with the install instructions. Hope there was something in here that was useful to you. - Rick

 

[unmerged(348778)]

Thanks for the info.

I don't know if it's HOI3 or DIG related, but since I'm running DIG - it's 1942 and suddenly with no apparent reason my fuel consumption is over 5,000 a day, what can be causing this? And how can I check what is consuming all this fuel?

 

[jsheikh]

That happened to me too...dunno what's the cause but don't worry it should sort itself out once you're army is back near the capital in peacetime. Something to do with massive amounts of fuel doing a back and forth across the supply lines. The fuel's there, its just lost in the transit system

Ok, but I can't see any chance for peace time and army near the capital for the next few years

Hey DD,

You asked about bugs. Well one i need to mention is the difficulty of the early atlantic war period. From 1939-1940 its nearly impossible to patrol the western approaches without getting obliterated. And Its a pretty important period imho. Anyway thanks.

Could you post a savegame around the 39-40 period please?

 

[Borsook]

What is Dies Irae Stars & Stripes Spritepack? And how does it tie in with DIG?

 

[Raaritsgozilla]

Stars and stripes is a mod like DIG, but you play USA not Germany

Is this thread going to be where updates, etc., reside for Stars and Stripes, or will it have its own thread?
