Game runs fine, not so sluggish like hoi3 was at release. I'm really pleased with the performance. The game basically feels like Vic1 with improved graphics and a few new things here and there. I'm impressed so far but I'm uninstalling the demo, I will wait until friday and experience the full game.

Btw, will the release time be at 9am CET, like with all previous Paradox games?

That happens all by itself, just as long as you keep spendning up. If your debts start showing up in red you are not borrowing anymore and you can't reinforce.

I too had problems with the economy first. But it's good now when I know how and what to take care of. I got a White peace with Mexico and annexed Texas. Haven't played the tutorial yet but it seems to go fine anyway.

Started playing the tutorial. Very, very clear. It seems (so far), to explain everything you need to know. Had a CTD when I finished the basic tutorial and went to the turorial menu rather than press the button to go on to intermediate diplomacy.

Just started it up to see how it ran. At first I was missing the EU3 speed, but then I thought about the fact that I'll be pausing a lot, and EU3 is about 4 times longer time-span, so I don't mind if it takes an extra second to get through a day :)
Now I've got to eat something, then it's game on!

Well, what I've learned so far is that USA is far too big of a country for me to jump into. Will have to make use of the tutorials and play my first real game as TEXAS!.

Also, the decision to have the state of "Georgia" also include South Carolina is a curious one.

I took this approach aswell and then Mexico invaded me to liberate Louisiana :D

I noticed that in the advanced politics tutorial the text still goes on about Belgium even tho you are playing prussia

Just one comment so far:
I nearly broke my earphones when I started the game and the blaring music made me rip them off my head. So that I wouldn't go deaf.

Seriously, lower the default music volume. I had to lower it to ~20% to make it bearable.

It was fine for me, sounds like your computers default volume is too high.
