Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

No. There is a gamebreaking bug right now that occurs during the 1973 US elections. I'm going to wait until they patch it.

Also just goes to show how uncoordinated the dev team is when such an obvious bug isn't caught this far into development. There's absolutely no way they didn't catch it in their playtests.

If I were a betting man, I'd wager that the bug is caused by a last minute feature some dev added, which the rest of the dev team didn't have the time/knowledge to playtest.

Their last big update (TT2) also had a game breaking bug in the form of the “Winter Olympics” news event. It was so blatant and so early on (happens in 1964) that I was astonished at how they missed it.

Presumably, there's now some additional narrative to Albert Speer's opinions on Jews and Judaism. It seems the developers have taken it in the direction of suggesting Speer and perhaps much of his clique don't believe in scientific racism or German Nordicism as much as they use it as a means of control.

Which is beyond fucking stupid if true. It would've been stupid to say it in 1942, it's even more of a stupid thing to claim in a 1962 that supposedly has this worldview revalidated by 20 years of post-Holocaust Europe, drilled into entire societies via the totalitarian state, and legitimized in others by force of hegemony and victor culture. Why, oh why, would Hitler himself's right-hand man in the bureaucracy be the skeptic?

Uhhh duh, we need one Nazi to be ACKSHULLY a good guy so we can still have a morally superior and "right" option.
I fucking hate HoI4 and the "people" that mod it.

There are some mods where most paths are boring filler paths and one that is clearly the developer's favorite. Can you guess which one ??

I'll be honest i really like the MSN News article and the little details in the searches, its a neat idea and some of the little jokes (at least i think they are jokes) were funny. Makes me wish all post ww2 mods weren't shit or pozzed.

I remain convinced that most mod makers don't playtest their own mods lmao.

I'm curious to what is added but not too into downloading a literal 4GB mod file last I checked. TNO's true crime is the fact that so much of the normal gfx files are uncompressed and unoptimized. This is one reason it loads so slow in both booting up and in the game itself. That and my shitop can't play it ever since they added that mega retarded Victoria 2 economic copy cat since the game is constantly scanning for variables from every country. Hence why I think that either the devs do not play their own game or are yuppies with high end PCs.

I'm baffled at the amount of modders who just refuse to optimize their mods. You had the time and motivation to give Bumfuckistan a tree for every ideology, you can clearly find in you to make your mod not run like shit.

Huh. Since they have eastern europe devs, does that mean Hungary is finally getting a focus tree?

Edit: the fuck am I reading?

The leader of Poland is Agustus IV or something. Forget his real name but its on of Wilhelm's sons. IRL he was the one royal family member most into the NSDAP. To answer your point though, IRL people just called him effeminate but not much else. KR devs and trannies ofc take this to mean "He was fucking gay."

Shoulda put this in the other comment but whatever. I honestly think that only the major powers in a mod SHOULD have content. Focusing on Bumfuckistan as you called them just bogs down the game in both lag and distracting devs from content people want. Like how KR still has not fixed Germany but added content to Haiti.
