Hearts of Iron IV Free Download - Game Review

Hearts of Iron IV is more than a historical simulation. Alternate historical paths open up with almost every decision you make, from small ones such as where to launch your attack to crack open Fortress Europe, to large ones, such as whether to re-establish democracies or long forgotten monarchies. In Hearts of Iron IV, you can plan the military strategy almost down to the rivets, as you design division templates for your armies, research new modes of production and means of destruction, set out factory instructions and pursue political objectives. Almost no part of the war goes untouched as you guide a nation of your choice through humanity’s darkest hour. Age Of Empires II

I really wanted to like this but I honestly can't recommend it. Everything seems to work fine at first and the game boots up no problem, but as soon as you actually get invested and get far into a game it just dies.

I have dealt with constant errors that make it impossible to finish a game. This has happened across multiple campaigns now. Sometimes it happens as early as 1943, and in my most recent game I finally got to 1946 before I got the same checksum error as before and the save was totally unplayable. It is just a constant issue no matter the year. I even tried asking for help on the discord and gave them my error logs to show what was happening but I was just ignored. It is a huge letdown to put hours of effort into multiple campaigns only for it to break right when things are getting good. If you are going to play this, you are probably better off just playing without any DLCs because they seem to be what's breaking everything. If you want something reliable that you can actually play to the end, this isn't it.

Note for the devs if you actually read this: My logs are full of dlc.cpp:142 checksum mismatches and history file errors like IRQ_kamil_shabib and CHI_claire_lee_chennault being "not a valid idea." Even the save dates are getting corrupted into nonsense numbers. Please look into your DLC validation.

I have a lot of fun with this game. I only play it with mods. It does take a while to learn, but worth it.

wonderful game, except you need one hundred dlc for it to feel complete

It didnt work initially, I had to delete the Steam_api64.dll.org and Steam_api64.dll and I replaced them with the Goldberg Lan Steam Emu Master Steam Api DLLs (both 64 and regular) and it worked fine, if your version consistently tries launching steam first just replace them with those ones, worked for me personally.
