Please beware this is an alpha version of BICE. It may contain more bugs and balance issues then usual. At this point we have tested it enough to establish there are no critical problems and play balance is generally fine.
To install remove all previous BICE files, including the black ice folder in user/documents. Make sure you have podcat's TFH exe overwriting the TFH exe in the main HOI3 directory.
Place the installer in the main directory and run.

Anyone got problem with weather notification?
Start with Danzig,after i declared war on Poland,it seems that all those events start to lost control and continued to be triggered several times until crash:(
I switched to OMG and found there is no limit for these weather decision.
Anything can you do to it?
I had cleared my cache twice and i'm using pod-fixed tfh.exe
My computer ran bi7.53 with TDW addons smoothly before
what checksum do you have ?
EXOH
you have an install error. Perhaps an old BICE file somewhere ? Manually delete the BICe folder in TFH/mods and the mod launcher. Then reinstall. You should have checksum UYES
thx
i dont know what it sent twice :)
Map cache?
8.0 map cache

This item might not exist or is no longer available.

Thanks! :D
any new map cache?
i will get the map cache up shortly
8.0 map cache
Onedrive.live.com
new cache fix any erros or something ?
the cache is only needed if you computer is unable to generate the map when you first start the mod.
What is the map cache ?
Hi,
I have HOI3\TFH on F: in Steamlibrary folder. What folder should I choose manually in the installer window to install the mod?
Thanks in advance, and thank you for your efforts.
something like this ?...\steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron 3
or better still, copy the entire game and paste it in a new folder outside of steam and the programs drive. Then install the mod in that.
Sorry I can't start the mod. It seems I have a problem with some .dll
Please help me ;)
where are you placing the mod installer when you run it ?
Just wondering if that submod for the german events needs to be reinstalled?
it is not yet compatible with BICE 8
Well nvm apparently i'm getting some run time error for some reason.
Anyone else able to play longer then one month before the game crashes?
tried playing as three nations but get the same result.
if you are having the save game CTD issue you can try deleting the logs folder in user/documents/paradox/hoi3/blackice. Each computer generates the logs differently every time you start the game. For some reason this is causing save game crashes for some people. Since its unique to each computer its very hard to fix. There is also a thread on the BlackICE forum on the paradox site with various solutions people have found which work for them.
Well now it just crashes after a few days of ingame play.
Can have something to do with the fact that I use a pirated version, though I have had the crashing happen in your previous mod versions.
do you have podcat's TFH exe ? This is essential to the mod running smoothly due to allowing the game engine to access more then 2Gb of system memory.
haha the struggle of trying to effectively make use of this releases' new features while having nothing but a common sense knowledge of "ok armament factory decreases land build time speed... i hope, or maybe it increases supply production? ****." idea of what any of them do is real. SCREW the changelog and all its "truck transport allows your troops to get the mobile combined arms bonus herp derp" obvious ****, give us a 3 bullet point synopsis of exactly what kind of % bonuses (and if they stack, or stack diminishingly, etc) these 13 new building types do ^^ if you have the time in between polishing your legendary mod ofc :D
we are working on a manual/ player guide. Edition 1.0 due in a week (hopefully). It will start off fairly basic and we will add to it over time as there is a lot of ground to cover in BICE. Edition 1.0 will however have information about the new buildings.
I can't login to the forum to get that exe so is there another way to get it?
its a modified TFH exe which is owned by paradox. They want you to register your TFH exe in order to gain access to the modified TFH exe which they made.
How can i do this on a mac?
you could use something like WINE for macs ?
Tried doesnt give me the folders for mod
Another mac user seems to have found a solution you could try...
"I'm playing BI 8 on a Mac...finally!! I make it trough an app called PlayOnMac that is based on wine..
the game seems to run without problems and fluid...
Congrats to BICE team...it's a new game! "
Not working for me
Never mind, figured it out. Thanks!
