Is there anyway to run this game without it crashing every 10mins?

Son, you have a condition; but I can't help you. The game has always been stable for me.

Get podcast's fixed exe. It fixed all stability issues for me, and my game had plenty of them.

Yup. Hasn't crashed for me in like... ever. Must be your rig so.

 

[ancientsion]

Its not the rig. I have an excellent machine and my HOI 3 crashed very often.
Using podcasts exe fixed all my crashing issues.
get it.

 

[RELee]

Makes sense. I've been using that exe simply because I always upgrade.

...

Always.

So where do i find this podcasts exe? and thanks for the reply oh and this game crashes constantly on both my windows 7 and 8 machines. I never have any issues with any of the games pinned to the left <--- except for this one.

Go to the thread called "MEGATHREAD ***Hearts of Iron 3 - Known issues, fixes, workarounds etc.*** MEGATHREAD" in the Tech Support Forum and click on Podcat's latest exe the LAA one.

When using this LAA exe the game gets stuck loading. I get an error message that it can't open a file. The file is combined arms i believe. Still trying to resolve

 

[ancientsion]

do a fresh install, replace the exe (back up first), then install mods.
enjoy hoi 3.

 

[Kaspa000]

Figured it out. Fresh install not required. Just had to verify files and not use the steam launcher. The crashing seems to be resolved using the podcat exe. Also sped the game up by restricting it to one core and gave it priority on that core Thanks for the help!

Hi guys,

I have been enjoying Paradox Games for years now, but only now created an account on the forums in order to look for a solution to the constant HOI3 TFH crashes.

I cannot access the following thread:

"MEGATHREAD ***Hearts of Iron 3 - Known issues, fixes, workarounds etc.*** MEGATHREAD"

Looks like "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.".

Could anyone explain this issue to me or just provide me the "the podcat exe"?

Best regards,
Athena

register your HOI3 game(s), then that thread opens up for you

[Touch wood] This isn't a problem I've ever had with HOI3 on my Windows 7, PC. It stopped working completely after I installed TFH, but I worked out that was caused by an incompatibility with the Stars and Stripes Mod, and since deactivating that it's been fine. The only other thing I don't do is use the unit sprite mods, so I play counters only, which might avoid a few problems.

I'm not the most tech savy person how do I replace the exe for hoi?

Just copy to or move to the exe you're replacing with. You'll be asked if you want to replace the current exe. Click yes.
You're done.
