Is anyone else getting a bug where accessing the tutorials then trying the game causes the 'initializing history' loading screen to hang? I can still move the mouse icon but it will never finish loading, forcing me to ctrl+alt+delete out and kill the process.

I saw that once in the demo but couldn't figure out why. I'll add that to our list of things to look at.

What a detailed game good work paradox !!!

Right now I am checking the demo and stop playing to write these words...

This game is soo detailed I got lost in it but its good it means more strategy and devolepment.I just cant figure that out yet but it seems really well.

Also its performence is good too not lagging like HOI3 this time paradox made it well = ))

But I only fell sorry for one thing.The HOI3 why paradox you put soo many provinces it killed that game vic2 number is enough and that useless Hq system.After seeing Victoria I understand that if HOI3 map was same as vic2(less provinces and correct geography) and if there was no Hq madness that game could be best WW2 game ever...

Anyway I am going back to demo thank you paradox I always said that" HOI3 is bad but we should give paradox a chance keep up the support " today I see that it was a true act....

the river should look like this(red) and there should be two lakes added(green). Over all the map in this area looks pretty good. I think i may be your best yet. Also the Mississippi is in the wrong place it should follow the state boarders.

King, could you help me with a question? I would really like to start playing now, but it says that it's three hours to go. I've been downloading it for about an hour now. And it's only 70.4/355.6. Why? And is there a way to make it go faster?

Welcome to my 2nd USA game, after the AAR, gentlemen.

The release version is a much tougher opponent than the version I was playing my AAR with. You're going to have to play defensively for a while. Try to catch Santa Anna when he's fighting Houston and provide reinforcements. Houston's leadership plus your manpower should do the trick until you can get your own leaders.

You will have to go into a massive economic deficit to win!

As soon as manpower points build up, build new infantry brigades. You will need reinforcements, and try not to lose any existing. You are starting out out-manned and out-generaled. Be patient. You will eventually gain the initiative and can fight Mexico to a white peace. I would recommend that starting out you accept and prepare for the next phase.

Your first research should be for Romanticism. You want Manifest Destiny early on.:)

For what it's worth.
What's this white peace you speak of?

:p


My second attempt. And yeah, I was on the defensive (defending Texas) for a while before my new units arrived. Later on I attacked with my new artillery brigades and wiped out Mexican armies wherever I could find them.

Looking forward to Friday (even more) now.

There are now 4 different sites linked on the front page, have you tried a different one?

Thankee! I will try that one after atomicgamer! But in fileplanet it says something about USA. And I'm from Sweden. Is that a problem or will it work just as good?

Just try them all and once you see which one is fastest, keep that one going and stop the rest. There is nothing you can do to speed it up unless you have other downloads or torrents running at the same time. Just be patient.

I must say I'm also very pleasantly suprised by the performance the demo has shown. I remember the HoI3 demo lagging like hell, and had a sort of doomed feel about it. This demo doesn't have that, which I hope is an indication that the full game will rock :D

I got about 350kb/sec from Fileplanet, and I'm on a not-very-good connection in the UK.

I was just getting 1.3MB/s from Filefront. Color me shocked.

I had a constant 1,8MB/s speed. Used the East Coast server (closest to me, since I live in Europe) and it worked like a charm :D

Just finished with my game, white peaced with mexico on the first war with texas, and mexico dow'd me a couple years after. Took a couple years. but I managed to destroy them and right as i was about to set foot on mexico proper. the confederates revolted and i peace'd out with mexico for a white peace. and i quit shortly afterwards. :rofl:

Thanks for the demo, cemented my decision on getting Vicky 2. :)

GAH!!!
Only option is the USA?!
You managed to select my LEAST liked country in the whole game (or any game, planet or reality for that matter). I was hoping for GB, Belgium or Prussia.
I'll just wait till release day, have it pre-ordered anyway....

If someone could tell me how to make it so my capitalists actually make money please let me know...I have rich taxes set to 5% and negative tariffs at 5% and still they lose money and progress on their projects is basically non-existent. Is it just a matter of waiting a long time because I havent gotten past 1837 yet?
