Users can input their own tags into the game, and its a general "meme" to input that into every PDX game at release.

Steam Store Update | Patch 1.14.3 [Checksum 21DE]

Post
Hello, Community Manager Katten here. I want to begin by thanking you all for the feedback we have received on our two latest news posts regarding the DLC Integration and Trial of Allegiance Reception & Thoughts. We are reading all your comments and are working on responding to as many as possible.


Steam Store Changes Since our update last week, which added "Country Pack" to the beginning of the names for Battle for the Bosporus and Trial of Allegiance, we have received more feedback about the unclear naming of our DLCs. Of particular concern is the Subscription, referred to as the "Expansion Subscription," which may suggest to some that it only includes expansions when it actually encompasses all DLCs for the game. As a result, we have made the following changes to provide better transparency:

  • Hearts of Iron IV: Eastern Front Planes Pack > Unit Pack - Hearts of Iron IV: Eastern Front Planes
  • Hearts of ...

Reception & Thoughts | Patch 1.14.2 [Checksum fbf7]

Post
Greetings all!

Today marks the first dev diary since the release of Trial of Allegiance, so we’ll be looking back over how things went, and community reactions in a little more detail than usual. While I would have loved to have some data on player choices and interactions for today’s diary, our analytics engine is busy chugging away. So, we’ll have to hold off on that until the machine spirit has assessed the incoming preponderance of data.

The Elephant in the Room
It would be hard to talk about Trial of Allegiance without first mentioning that we’re acutely aware of its critical reception from fans. I see no reason not to be transparent about this, and I’m going to use today as an opportunity to talk about what it means to us and how we analyze reactions, so let’s dive into some of the facts:

Everything’s on Fire!
Well, actually no. Trial of Allegiance has thus far been one of our most stable releases in terms of bugs and player-en... Read more

Steam Awards 2023 — Nominate Hearts of Iron IV!

Post
Generals.

7 years. It has been 7 glorious years of strategy and conquest, of encirclements and outwitting your opponents. The amount of generals continues to rise as well, hitting a record amount this year here on Steam!

So far in 2023, we’ve released Arms Against Tyranny, revamping the Nordics and adding so many cool new features like the international market and the special forces doctrines. Before that, we continued our war effort initiative to try and update older content to bring it up to par, fix old bugs that slipped through the cracks, and add so much more to keep the experience fresh.


While your tournaments thrived, we came up with a way to give them even more exposure and rewards by releasing FRONTLINES, our tournament organiser to make sure more people can participate, can watch and can enjoy the action, and to give back to your hard wor... Read more

Hello there!

I hope you are all enjoying the new expansion. we've identified two issues that need a quick fix. Rest assured, this hotfix won't impact your saved games!

The update will be available on the Microsoft Store at the earliest opportunity.


Bugfixes - Fix political screen to show MIOs in MP for clients that do not possess Arms Against Tyranny
- Support divisions with multiplicative battalion modifiers will no longer be further multiplied by the number of division types of the target type in the template. Tl;dr: no mega artillery stacking with rangers now.

If you played on an old save with the new update, that would be the reason. If you still have the original save, you can rollback and play without an issue. But if you start the old version with a new save, you could encounter similar issues.

Right click the game in your steam library, press betas, then the dropdown on beta participation and selected the branch you want. The game will then update to that branch.

"We have set up a rollback branch for 1.12.14 (Avalanche). You can use it to continue your previously saved games. Remember that Steam may require a restart to show the new branch.
However be aware that:
  • If you have bought Arms Against Tyranny, some graphical and audio assets (loading screen, music...) will show up in the game. This will still be 100% save compatible and not bring any feature from AAT. If you dislike them, you can disable the DLC from the launcher and get a pure 1.12.14 experience as it was before AAT released.
  • Most popular total conversion mods have updated to 1.13 and will not rollback when you change steam branch. The launcher will warn you accordingly that they are incompatible with your current version of the game."

Hello there Generals!

Another update has arrived, and this is a big one! Today we release 1.12.5, that targets some of your most pressing concerns. But there is more! As we have a plan in the works to release monthly updates for By Blood Alone. So keep your eyes peeled for more information related to that!

- Minor tweaks made to further railway/infrastructure focuses that were a bit weak, or were unchanged in the last iteration

- Reduced values for some modifiers in Swiss National Spirits, including Spirit of Saint Bernard.

Open Beta & Game Assistance | Hearts of Iron IV: By Blood Alone

Post
Hello there generals!

You might have already seen two forum posts made by our Game Director and Tech Lead, about how to assist you with common issues. I have made this post to cover all of that in one single place, and to also invite you all to our open beta!


Open Beta

For the open beta, all you have to do is to select the correct branch. You do this by right clicking the game in your library, going into properties, then beta versions and selecting open_beta as the beta branch that you would like to participate in. Then the game will simply update, and then you just launch the game like normal, and poof you are playing in the open beta!

Do remember that all encountered bugs and issues should be reported through the same bug reporting forum as always.

Why aren’t these fixes on the live version?
