  • I bought it.

    The Paradox 6 in 1 strategy pack. I already had EU2 and HOI1 but I wanted Vicky and the Asian version of EU2. The other games look kind of lame. Still, well worth $18.95.

      AFAIK: Some new provinces, a slightly earlier start date, some added ingame movies and some Asian music.

        I haven't played that version yet. I can't seem to get the beta patches to work since I don't have excel. It loads until it gets to a point where it says "can't find excel file" then it crashes. The game won't work after that and it must be reinstalled.

        My computer only came with word and they wanted $100 extra dollars for the rest of Office. I( guess I just won't get to use the betas.

            I've alway been able to play the game just fine, however, I save the beta patch to my desktop then click on it and it goes through the loading prodcess. Half way along it says "Cannot find excel file specified" then it crashes.

              What do you do in detail? Save the beta to desktop, unpack the beta, run the new exe - when does the problems occur?

                Yes, that is exactly what occured. I downloaded the new beta to the desktops. I unpacked it, then I hit the "EU2.exe" file and the patch statrts to unpack. Next thing you know I get the error message and it crashes.

                  Eh... What unpacking after you klick eu2.exe?

                  Oh, and just checking: You have patched to 1.08 before applying the beta, right?

                    Yeah, I install 1.08 just fine without any problems. The problem happens with the beta.

                      It appears I was not the only one to have this problem. The problem was fixed using the method recommended by tech support. Paradox does a great job with tech support even with "unofficial patches" like the betas.

                          As a matter of interest (Havard or anyone else?) what version numbers come in the 6-pack? Are they all 1.00 or are some partially/fully patched already?

                          I ask as I've had problems before trying to apply later patches over earlier patches ...

                          [I have the 6-pack 'enroute' and there's a small possiblitity that it might actually get to me one day ... ]

                              That's good (I think?).
                              Is that the same for all of them?

                              Otherwise many of the patches mightn't work too well.
                              I'd hate to get EU2 1.07 and not be able to patch it up to 1.08 ... again.
