Not working for hoi4

[anticitizn]

Continuing this issue here since the old repo got archived.

@JustCauseWhyNot @Gren-95 are you absolutely sure that your DLC files are up to date? We had an issue with DLCs in Stellaris and it turned out to be because even old DLCs were changed in an unrelated update and the files no longer worked. I don't have the hoi4 files myself to test right now, but I'll try in the coming days.

The log provided in the old issue is completely normal (those errors always pop up), so I suspect DLC files are the ultimate culprit here as well.

I'm using Hearts of Iron IV_DLC_Pack_Build_10515977. I believe that's the most up to date one. I also found it funny that I indirectly ended that repo.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. Please don't post links to downloads here though, I have no idea what GitHub's policy is on these (better safe than sorry). The link also doesn't work at the moment so I can't tell for sure, but since there was a patch a couple of weeks ago and @Gren-95 reported that most of the DLCs work for him, I hope the files are just slightly outdated. Will update you once I can test myself.

And yeah, kinda funny. It happens sooner or later to most one-man open-source projects anyway.

[JustCauseWhyNot]

Link gone :) . Not sure why it didn't work for you? was it that you couldn't download them? I'll see if I can get more updated files. Those were from feb 16.

[anticitizn]

Google said the download quota was exceeded, but no matter. There were two patches since then (one on 01.03 and one on 09.03), so the files are probably indeed outdated.

[JustCauseWhyNot]

Google said the download quota was exceeded

You gotta circumvent them. But it's ok.

I'll try with more updated files.

[JustCauseWhyNot]

It still doesn't work after making sure I've got the most updated dlc.

Got it. I'll test myself when I can get around to downloading the latest files sometime this week, no other ideas for now.

Those errors should be harmless since they pop up in Stellaris where the DLCs work, and even when you disable creamlinux (do just konsole --hold -e %command% launch option on any game and you'll usually see similar errors still show up).

[JustCauseWhyNot]

In order too bypass the google drive limit you'll need create a folder in your drive with a dummy file and the dlc file in folder.

[anticitizn]

I managed to get the exact same files as you and all the DLCs seem to work for me, including By Blood Alone. I could start a campaign and all the DLCs were on.

Just to make sure: you have tried to start a campaign and see if DLC features are enabled, correct? The paradox launcher might display red triangles next to the DLCs, but they still work in-game. Can you try to remove your existing creamlinux files and try again with a clean download?

Failing that, try to set Launch Options to skip the launcher, then post logs again. For some reason when using the paradox launcher a lot of information gets omitted from the console.

[Gren-95]

after redownloading and replacing the creamapi files it worked. i should have done that first. Glad to see this project is quite active :)

[anticitizn]

Good to hear :) I'll try to keep it active as much as I can

[JustCauseWhyNot]

Isn't Switzerland supposed too have a focus tree? The dlc for some reason seems to be working now when it wasn't earlier. I've not done anything between the last message I sent and now. But other than switzerland not having a focus tree the dlc seems to be working.

[Gren-95]

what about ethiopia and the plain focuses? are they still there?

[JustCauseWhyNot]

No ethiopian focuses either.

[anticitizn]

Sounds like By Blood Alone isn't working for you. Check if you have the new aircraft designer (most likely not). If the other DLCs work and you haven't updated your creamlinux version in a while, have a look at your cream_api.ini and see if By Blood Alone is in there. It does work properly for me as well so I suppose it is something on your end.

[JustCauseWhyNot]

You're right it wasn't in the cream_api.ini.

[anticitizn]

So all the DLCs appear to be working properly now?

[anticitizn]

Everything seems to be working for now so closing the issue.

[JustCauseWhyNot]

Yes everything is working. My bad for not responding earlier, or closing issue.

[anticitizn]

All good!
