Victoria 2 Heart of Darkness won't run

[bailalobos]

Just purchased the Victoria Collection on Steam and get error message about file extension not being found when loading Heart of Darkness (screen prints of error messages attached). Can run Vic1 w/o problem but not Vic2 or any of the DLCs.

Uninstalled/reinstalled the game, rebooted twice, same result.


Running Windows 8.

Did you try googling for this problem? It's the most common error. Go into Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria 2/map and delete the cache folder. Or download the latest beta patch through Steam, which fixes this problem.

There is no cache folder in Victoria 2 folder, only a log folder. And I just downloaded the game this morning; I see nothing indicating I need to install a patch as well.

Never mind, got it working.
