Version 14.11.19 for Hearts of Iron 4 (v1.8.0 - 1.8.1)

  • The mod should no longer be "outdated" in the launcher.
  • You might need to restart the launcher once or twice to get this to show.
  • If it doesn't, it's most likely an issue with the launcher, which means we can't really do anything about it.

For the mod in 1.8: It should continue working like normal and save games shouldn't be affected to our knowledge. There are a few fixes/improvements that can be done but they will most likely arrive with the next mod patch.

Version 09.11.19 for Hearts of Iron 4 (v1.7.0 - 1.7.1)

Last month was huge! The team won a beauty contest in Germany and someone gave us flowers! We also had an awesome Halloween party planned, but it was spoiled by Iran showing up early. Oh, and we announced that our team is working on [something].

What's next? We turn 3 next month! To celebrate we will probably be renting cabins in Moosonee, right along the majestic Moose River. If those are booked, then we'll go to the lodge on nearby scenic Moose Factory Island. It'll be long days of budget oriented thrills and even longer nights of staring into our drinks and asking what the meaning of is is.

While we understand most of you aren't likely to join us in northern Canada anytime soon, we'll still have some cool things planned and probably even more loot boxes. You like those, right? YOU DO.

Version 08.09.19 for Hearts of Iron 4 (v1.7.0 - 1.7.1)

We've come around to that fabled period yet again - patch day! The 56 Team has arranged an amazing platter of content, tweaks, and tiny sandwiches for your enjoyment.

Unfortunately the mood around the Team 56 Office has been grim lately. We've all been looking on in horror as our subscriber count creeps closer to 500,000 and a single question looms ever larger in our minds:

Which one of us is the most handsome?

This led to small debate, that then led to a pitched battle using office chairs and several old CRT monitors, and then someone tried to launch themselves out of a cannon to prove a point. It wasn't until Thinking_Waffle told us about his fatal pastry allergy that we all made peace and realized that nothing in life makes any sense.

That being the case, we're glad that you're along for the ride. Thanks for being wonderful and spending your chill evenings with us - making the world a better place one mod at a time.

where could i find 1.9.1 patch

Diogo Vicente
02:34

So I installed the mod on my HOI 4 (Husky 1.9), and as soon as it finishes loading, I can see that instead of having the «New Game» tab, I had «new_savegame_tab» tab.It is the same situation throughout the entire game (GER_DESC instead of the German description before choosing a country), this was just an example. Then, the Soviet Union was renamed to «Russia» and the U.S. to «America», which is beyond me really, so stupid and distasteful, it´s like calling the U.K. «England».

Any fixes whatsoever?

Hello,

I'd like you to understand that «Road to 56» is a massive overhaul mod to Hearts of Iron 4.

While patch 1.11, alongside the DLC brings massive changes to the game, both in research and focuses, 

both of which will have to be 

checked, 

balanced 

and adjusted

to make Road to 56 even work with the current patch, 

Please have patience because such things take time...

Quite a bit of it...

Hope you understand, 

All the best to ya lad

Excelent job!!! The investigation of Argentinian technology and everything else!

Nothing to do with the original game with those ridiculous faces of Argentinian generals.

Many thanks. I wait for the next updates.

For a future update, it would be nice to expand the «Focus Tree Selection» option, and for there to be more countries like France, that is, to be able to choose the «Standard Focus Tree» or the «Road to 56 Focus Tree». Since in the update we are in HoI, France is reworked in vanilla mode.

Do you guys do something called «playtesting» by any chance? You should, because then you'd realize that this version DOESN'T WORK. Considering the amount of time you spent with modding the game this is incredibly pathetic.
