Finally its time for part 9999999999999999999 of the Great European Civil War as fought by myself and Saffy!

And whoever else has HOI3+Semper Fi (no FTM as yet).

We have to use Hamachi to connect so get that and our network is hojgaming, pass is hoj5.

And we also need an evening each week that is good for us to all play this together.  If more folks are interested ofc :D

Also your version should be HoI3 v2.04d (AJBM) the last 4 letters being the important part.

Hamachi sucks, seriously causes Network issues on my comp only way to resolve is to remove it
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

If you have Semper Fi, but have game saying you have version 2.04d (HYIsomething or IYIsomething) then, unfortunately, you will need to reinstall (2GB iirc).

It might work without hamachi, but we worked different issues, so not sure what made it tic...
If hamachi does give issues that you can't overcome, we can try without or with game ranger

Game ranger is wierd though. Its meant to setup the game right to the Mp lobby, but didnt seem to do that for us.

Also non hamachi users can connect - but whether (saf has host you see) it would work with safs isp being random...

Tutorials + plus wiki are your friends.

Windowed mode ftw

(Find the settings file in the steam area - if you use the steam demo) and change it to fullscreen: no.

Does that also work for the normal steam settings, because i was going to ask

Yeah any version of HOI3 will switch to window mode just be altering the settings file in the HOI 3 steamapps folder.

Most other games too have these and if they dont, you can use launch options in the games steam listing instead (-w for windowed for example).
