Hearts of Iron III security update May 4th

[BjornB]

Hi!

After discovering a minor potential securty problem we decided to patch the game to correct it.

Patch notes:
- Fixed additional Lua vulnerabilities

This should not change anything noticeable for you in your game. But there is the small possibility that mods you are using may be utilizing the security flaw in a non-malicious way and may therefore stop working with this patch.

If that's the case, you can revert your game version by right clicking the game in Steam -> properties -> BETAS and select the "4.02-no_security_fix..." version. Please note that you do that on your own risk! That version does contain a known security flaw!

Enjoy!

While we have you here, could you quick include the minister decay bug correction? I've corrected it but I'm sure others would like it to be corrected as well.

So how do the rest of us get the patch? GamersGate at least has no patch for TFH.

It would be nice of you guys to include Podcat's modified .exe file (that allows 4gb of RAM use) as well as fix the ground defense value for airplanes not doing anything since that is hardcoded in the .exe

Much as I'd love that patch, it would likely take significantly more work than the minor update I recommended. Air is super wonky and broken because of bad valuations being imported from HoI2.

Thank you Paradox for fixing this.

Do I get a special badge or something for being the one who raised this first

Do you have a link to this correction? I'd rather apply the fix manually than be forced to use the security-patched version that doesn't play nice with mods.

Its actually a fairly recent thread... @Dr. Intolerance had it set up. I'm on mobile and can't navigate easily to get it.

Minister traits regarding decay seemingly not working

Hello all, I started playing HoI3 again and I couldn't help but notice that the traits of my ministers seem to not work properly. As Canada my Chief of the Navy gives -25% Destroyer Practical decay and yet my Destroyer practical decayed at the...

Just a PSA, this lua update breaks AIs and makes the game actually literally unplayable.
