Hi,

I just bought the expansion, I can't launch it, it says tbb.dll missing.

I reinstalled four times and follow many instructions I saw here and there, it still isn't working.

I don't know what to do, it's unbelievably frustrating xD

Tbb.dll should be in the same directory as your .exe. It's a broken installation, please give more details how you're installing the game. Do you put AHD on top of vanilla Victoria2 before installing HOD?

I installed it via steam. Then I erased everything and reinstalled it, with my anti-virus shut down.

Tbb.dll is not in the same directory. Some forumers advised to copy paste one in the directory, from other games, but it doesn't seem to work out.

As I speak now, I just reinstalled the game, touched nothing and await further advice =)

that dll comes with AHD, so perhaps you have an anti-virus program messing up your installation? Do you own House Divided? You need that to play Heart of Darkness

As I said, my anti-virus is currently off.

I don't have "A house divided", but on steam it says that you only need the Victoria II basic game.
"Ce contenu nécessite le jeu de base Victoria II sur Steam pour fonctionner." That content needs Victoria II on steam in order to work"

It's a mistake by Steam. They list only Victoria2 at the top, but down below with "system requirements" they also put Victoria 2: A House Divided.

You'll need to buy AHD to play HOD, it's always the case with PDS expansions. It costs 2.50 euro ATM.

I know it's lame and it's probably grounds for a refund, but it's entirely Steam's fault. (PDS is always very clear that each next expansion requires and is based on all the previous ones, even if there's four or five of them).

Since you actually got mislead, you shouldn't be shy to tell Steam what you think. :)

Yeah I figured out, but I dont usually read those.

I think many of those who reported the tbb.dll issue might be encountering the same problem. I just bought a house divided, I'll uninstall then reinstall and keep you guys in touch.

Ok, it's now launching and I encounter another error :D Just getting used to it ;) I'll figure it out somewhere else in the forums thx

The problem is NOT that you need a house divided, though you may need it. I own AHD and I ran into the same issue. I did 3 clean installs with my antivirus disabled and still did not get those DLLs. I ended up copying them from the crusader kings II folder, but now I crash trying to launch a campaign. Paradox, please dont try to dodge the issues...

I would just like to say that I'm experiencing the same issue;
I've got every single expansion and dlc available for the game and I'm also playing through Steam, yet the game fails to launch claiming I miss tbb.dll.
Really annoying as I've done some 5 clean installs on various hard drives with and without anti-virus on.

Are you sure you're installing Vicky 2 -> AHD -> HOD without skipping the AHD part? Are you sure no antivirus program is killing the installation of that file?
