Hi! Basically, when I run HoI2 v1.3a, or any other version, the game does not load up. Instead, during the initial loading screen with the "Initialising sounds" messages and such, it freezes, leaving me only one alternative; hitting the reset key on my tower.

I'm on a 1.2ghz AMD Athlon processor, 512mb of ram, Nvidia Geforce 2 MX 400 graphics card (A dinosaur, I know, but within system requirements!), and i'm not running any programs in the background.

Help, please! :D

Hi there!
Well, I had the same problem, but then... I realised I've been patching the wrong game, heh. Download the Doomsday patches, they are a few mousewheel turns down. ;p

Btw., you don't have to restart your pc when such a thing occurs. Simply hit enter. =]

I have the correct patches for HoI2, and I don't have Doomsday. :/

Also, pressing enter didn't work at all. It does the same thing on v1.0, v1.2, and v1.3a. :/

Whoops. In that case that's something different from what I've experienced so far with this game.
What happens if you edit the settings.cfg file(notepad) and change language?
I.e. from 0 to 1? Does it change anything?
You can also try and re-save that file, ensuring it saves with the ANSI coding. This also applies to all the *.csv files in the Config folder.
Try it...
If that doesn't work...well it beats me ;p

welcome to the forum.

Try and rename your avi folder to avi.old.

Do you have the latest drivers for your graphic card?

more languages?

Well, I had the same problem, with the freezing and all. I tried changing the language to french (as proposed), but how do I change it back?? I'm not very eloquent in French...
