Update 1.0.14 is Live

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 at 02:00 PM by dave

To address the issue some players were having with 1.0.13, we are releasing another next-day hotfix patch to solve the problems we caused.

Sorry!

This update should fix the reported no-nations bug, and adds some much-needed airbases to regions that started with cities containing Aircraft Plants (thanks Ian!). Future content updates and verifications that fail will also now say so.

Also, we are going to begin sending out the loyalty reward product keys for MHGold. The emails are coming out slow. If you haven't gotten yours yet, be patient. Let us know if you have registered and you haven't gotten your email by this time (4:00 PM, EST) tomorrow.

Your second MHII key will come at the end of our registration drive, which was extended to August 15th.

Does this hold saved games from 1.0.13?

Yes, 1.0.14 is compatible with 1.0.13 - it really was just a hotfix for the loading problems some people were seeing.

is it necessary for those of us who fixed it with the reinstall?

dave   Site Admin MHII, MH GOLD

@ilm2 - People who reinstalled don't need the upgrade fix that is in 1.0.14. There were 2 other small changes -- all regions that have a city with an Aircraft Plant now have airbases, and if content downloading or verification fails it will now tell you so. The download is about 20 Meg.

In the 1939 scenario i had my carriers bombing coastal chinese units (range is very short) and long after the battle for the region had ended the planes still had the red arrow designating their orders on the region. I defeated and colonized china on turn 46 i think and had my carriers moving in the pacific and they are still out there in that same region and i can cancel the move orders for the carrier group, but not the attack orders. Am i missing something here?

EDIT: I must laugh at myself for forgetting that things have changed, and i have to click on each individual air group in the area in which the previous orders were given. I liked when you could just "cancel current orders" at your carrier group.

This patch works great Dave thanks for the quick fix. I also got my Gold Edition Key and am once again enjoying playing the older model of MH

so dave, cause of this great gift at the begin of the weekend, ive made, once again, massive propaganda for MH2 at hoi mod-forum. 1 player already bought it he typed, i expect more will come soon. if german version would be available, i promise ML would have much much more costumers.

btw: Death to the superstacks^^

just had a crash dum after trying to download 1.0.13 and 1.0.14. Anyone else suffered the same? And any solution please?

Donat MHII, MH GOLD

Have a lot of content update failures while trying to update to .14.... Old version is .12 Anyone else?

MH2 ist downloading exactly 20.45MB and then quits with error: "content update failure"

ariete MHII, MH GOLD

In my older PC (PIV-1GB-AGP4200Ti) after the upgrade I have the map that doesn't show texture at all in any mode (nations, terrain, culture, ...). It's completely blank.

My guess is that is my pc problem...

I have completely removed and reinstalled and nothing changes.

Have sent dxdiag and debugview logs.

On the E5300 works fine.

ariete MHII, MH GOLD

With blank, I mean snow white.

Scorpion2651 MHII, MH GOLD

I've had trouble downloading it. The only thing that updates is the launcher and it says the game is still at version 1.0.12. Every time I try to update it says it fails.

flamich76 MHII, MH GOLD, MH

Oh please guys! I can live together with the bugs in the game... but please, please, please... At least make the "Save game" button work. Always. And if there's an error, or something, pls let the user know it. Cos it is very, very annoying. It happended me two time. First time I thought i screwed something, or I forgot to save. But now, I am 100 % sure that I pressed the save button. Then I switched to the Launcher (ctrl-tab) and my game was LOST. It was 1942, the last saved game I can see is 1940...

PLEASE Making History, MHII would be so much more fun for me if you just included Memelland (in Lithuania), Northern Schleswig (Southern Jutland), Eupen-Malmedy (In Belgium), and Upper Silesia. This would be much more realistic! And why does Alsace have French ethnicity? Why not Alsatian? I would be MUCH more apt to recommend this game if Memelland, Northern Schleswig, and Eupen-Malmedy were in the game!!! Please? Lol

I hate when I have to invade Lithuania to take Klaipeda (Memel, a German city in WWI). It has to be simple to make a new territory... Hitler seized JUST Memelland in early 1939, so this would make the Politics of Appeasment more realistic. As for Northern Schleswig, it would be realistic for that to be there as well... Hitler annexed Eupen-Malmedy to Germany after the Fall of Frace. Whatever you end up doing, I would play the game so much more (others would as well).

crazydude MHII, MH GOLD

I agree with most of your statement, except I don't think there should be a Eupen-Malmedy region because it is ridiculously small. I also believe that there should be a Saarland region, and in the 1933 scenario it should be a French puppet.

Intelfreak MHII, MH GOLD, MH
2 years ago

I concur. Saarland is a region I hadn't thought of, and Eupen-Malmedy is probably too small to even see on the MHII map, although they did make the Ionian Islands a region. I hope they make a really good editor; they will never make these regions... :(

It seems as if the AI is making MORE militia, when they should be making LESS. Oh, and in Paraguay there is a missing air base for their air force.

While you are working on updates for mh2, you didn't see a bug in the website! I can't download any old scenario!

PS: I can't download any scenario older than 29th of July!

Perhaps you already know about this small issue. In 1939 scenario, I am playing as Germany and have allowed Poland to move through my territory IOT attack Italy. They have done so, but when they were repulsed by the Italians (I know its hard to believe the Italians repulsed anybody!), and fell back into German territrory, the Poles and my German units are having battles in my territory, even though we are not at war w/ each other.

Otherwise, this looks like a great game that will suck away hours of my life! Just purchased yesterday. Thanks!

@Donat all you have to do is uninstall and reinstall the game and let it reload all of the updates and it should work.

LoganInCamo MHII, MH GOLD, MH

No one else has noticed the save game failed issues returning or the graphical issues?

crazydude MHII, MH GOLD

What kind of graphical issues? I've noticed lower quality unit models, most likely to improve performance.

dave   Site Admin MHII, MH GOLD

@pyromagi - If you have already uninstalled and reinstalled I would suggest you download the full 1.0.14 installer from http://download.making-history.com/MakingHistoryInstaller.exe - this will bypass any problems you are having updating.

I have to say that MHII it's still too easy - I've conquered Luxemburg, Danzig, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland in 1939 and I'm conquering England. In MH I or MH Gold it will be very difficult, in MH II it was very easy... I'm playing on 10 level of difficulty (hard)... So what should I do to make this game harder?

Strife MHII, MH GOLD
2 years ago

yeah your right Shninkhiel the game is very easy. i play it on 10 as well but i still consider it easy. It makes me loose some interest in the game, but i still love it lol

Yankee-Three MHII, MH GOLD

@Donat: I am having the EXACT same problems. This is my tenth time trying to update content and I'll place money that this one fails too. I have messaged the admins and I hope they respond... miss MHII

snapjaw MHII, MH GOLD

Shninkheil and Strife. It is possible the difficulty levels aren't working the way they should. You should try on normal and play Japan, and you let me know if you finish the game #1 in World Power Points. I have done it, but it was no cakewalk. Sure, you can take over all that territory, but are you #1 in points?

snapjaw MHII, MH GOLD
2 years ago

Yankee, have you tried uninstalling and re-downloading and installing from the link in your email? You will probably lose your saved games, but it worked for me. I had errors like you and nothing else seemed to fix it. You also have to uninstall and restart computer before downloading and re-installing and that should work.

westnile3 MHII, MH GOLD

My games began to act very strangely in the 300-400 turn range, a whole lot of random occurrences broken alliances, renegade countries attacking anyone who borders them. almost becomes unplayable

ariete MHII, MH GOLD
2 years ago

Dave, what's the focus for 1.0.15?

I really miss history and balancing.

Balancing: I'm playing with Italy and my first and only problem is economic. I have developed the cities as possible but all the goods are used for maintenance... can't build appliances or autos because I have just 140 coals per turn...

History: finally I was able to grab etiopia without starting a war in europe (thanks!) but got attacked by Greece (!!!) with a seak attack by landing in veneto (!!!). A few turns and Greece was part of the empire but this is far from historical behaviour. I mean, I like that the AI does "new" things but it had no sense.

ariete MHII, MH GOLD

Forgot to say thanks for the MHGold key received. Apreciated for networking play with my son.

News about Italian translation? I'm still available and on vacation.

In the next update the ideologies should have special effects to the country, otherwise its pointless having ideologies, for example the communists should produce faster because its forced labour, democratic should have a better economy because of capitalism, fascists, should have the option of extermination and slavery, authoritarians, I don't really know what it does but I think it means the government is controlled by military, they should have a faster arms production or produce military units faster.

Thanks for reading.

When I export food the income is negative

ZenMonken   Site Admin MHII, MH GOLD

How much food did you export? Where in the UI is it showing a negative value for income?

Scorpion2651 MHII, MH GOLD

If you have the problem of the game not updating from 1.0.12 then uninstall and reinstall the game you also may have to sacrifice your saved games.

Does anyone know when the multiplayer will come online?

flamich76 MHII, MH GOLD, MH

Two bugs to mention, related to the military access.

Bug 1: I played with Hungary. Hungary was part of the german alliance and Germany and Hungary both has military access to each others. Germany conquered Austria, and made it puppet. From this point it was impossible to go throuh Austria. If I someone select a puppet state (here Austria) there's no option to request military access.

Bug 2: I played with Hungary again. I let military access for the germans through hungarian territories. Accidentaly I became allied with Poland, when Germany attacked them. So I became an enemy of Germany, but becouse they had military access through my territories, they couldnt conquer them :) It was hard, but finally I conquered Germany. By the way before I got in war with Germany, I created a money aid transfer for each turn. After the war started with the germans, the aid still existed.

Are there any forum or something to send bug reports? I have many.

Hi i havnt bought the game yet but i am going to soon. So far i hav loved the demo but have just 1 question. Are you suposse to be able to upgrade the factorys from say cottage to mechanized or not. Also are u able to convert battleships or large cruisers into aircraft carriers. I just thought it would be kinda cool for the game. But thats just my opinion

ace123 MHII, MH GOLD
2 years ago

You could take large cruisers or basic battleships and make them light carriers and then fast battleships into fleet carriers and then advanced battle ships into super carriers or something like that. But like i said before cant wait to get the game. ML your doing a great job

ariete MHII, MH GOLD

ace123, it's better you buy and register your copy before aug.15th.

In this way you'll get an additional serial number for another copy of MHII and one for MHGold.

The food export value is negative in the financial screen under income. I exported 50,000 or something like that. Also I have a problem of countries that are totally captured but still stick aroung and if you try to negotiate they just say "..."
