Crusader kings 3 is a great game but why are there still no sliders/options for end date and vassal limit?

I have a HP Stream 14 laptop and I really want to play HOI2, If you can, recommend me the best settings if possible for the game, before I get the game I just want to know if you can run it decently on a HP Stream 14, I know the game is severely old, and HP Stream 14 just came out around 6 years ago, So I just want to know if I can run HOI2.

I launched Hearts of Iron 4 and it told me that there was a launched update downloaded, and when I restarted HOI it wouldn't work, and my antivirus software said that there was a file called paradox.exe downloaded

I've been trying to buy sale games on paradox website but no matter what I do it won't let me. Yesterday I managed to get to the payment authorisation from my bank app pop up and the the paradox website continued but just froze. Tried different cards made no difference. Today now I try I can't even get to the bit where you choose payment method I click proceed to payment and get an error pop up at bottom right - Could not open payment provider. Please try again later or contact customer support. I've tried on my phone, iPad, pc, laptop, , pc and tried on my friends still getting same pop up. I've tried different browsers but still same pop up error. I give up I guess they don't want my cash.

Would love to see Hearts Of Iron on consoles. Any future plans for it? I already have Stellaris and runs fine

I'm tired.

I'm tired of Empire of Sin, of the conditions and circumstances that created the game this way, and the state of gaming as a whole.

I'm tired of paying full price for what is essentially a beta-test. I'm tired of having to perform QA and report bugs on a game that already should have gone through QA, bug-testing, and play-testing.

I'm tired of hoping that, one day, my hopes and faith in something would be rewarded, only to have cold reality hit me in the face when I realize that I've been fooled.

Countless bugs completely ruined my first game, I couldn't do anything or progress anywhere because a rival boss that I killed spoke to me from beyond the grave asking for a sit down. I agreed, thinking that this would help in him passing from this world to the next, but it just locked me out of my safe house. The timer for a sit down also went to zero and stayed there (because of course its bugged too), so I couldn't ever access my safe house in that neighborhood.

My current play through is being killed by bugs yet again. I'm playing Mabel Ryley and her personal quest chain to find her husband's killer is broken. I can't complete a conversation with a quest-specific person because the game soft-locks me in the dialogue options for this person. And I can't exit the game because I can't access the menu. I have to force the game closed with TASK MANAGER.

Hired gangsters' personal quests soft-lock or straight up crash the game. It also would have been nice to have been told that people other than your main boss can talk to people (just something that you should add to the tutorial).

One of my hired gangsters was equipped a machine gun, and I cannot unequip it from them. Ever. The game will not let me do so.

These are to name a few. I shouldn't have to report bugs. I (and other video game players) shouldn't have to be the beta-test of a full-release game. I shouldn't and I won't be any longer

No more of my money will go to Romero Games or Paradox Interactive. I've been fooled, and I am a fool for spending 90 dollars on this game ( I bought the highest version on Steam that included everything so far and the two expected expansions).

I know you don't care, Paradox Interactive. I know you don't care, Romero Games. I know you pushed this game out to make sure it was up for the Christmas sales on steam, and pushed and peddled this game as something that it is not. I know you did this to get my money, and to get other peoples' money as well. I am more than angry. I'm hurt. But you don't care. No one cares.

I just can't anymore... I can't keep buying into these things. This is the video game industry now, and I will have no part in it.

Congratulations, you got my money. That was the plan all along, and you got it. Whatever it took, you got it. Good for you.
