V2Documentsdirectory = 'C: Users Stephen Documents Paradox Interactive Victoria II' Victoria 2 Mod Directory Used by the frontend to copy the converted mod so that you don't have to. Note that while Victoria 2 may have created a mod directory under My Documents, this needs to be set to the mod directory under the Victoria 2 install location. Victoria 2 automatically assigns prestige for the prestige inventions unlocked at the start of the game. Consciousness Consciousness is set to zero at the point of conversion. Technology Tech conversion is based on the default V2 tech progression at the 1836 start. There are three tech categories in EU4 and five in V2.

After a Great War has occurred, a country will gain the 'No More War' country modifier whether it won the war or not (if it was dismantled, it gains the modifier for 10 years, otherwise it gains it for 3). This will restrict the CB's available to a country unless it's already at war with the target, in which case all CB's are available normally.

Issues fixed[edit]

Crashing on Windows 8/XP: map cache[edit]

This crash is caused by map cache data from an old version downloading with the game on Steam.

Fix crash on Windows 8/XP^{[citation needed]}
Go to `<path-to-game>map` Delete the `cache` folder. Go to `%USERPROFILE%DocumentsParadox InteractiveVictoria 2map` Delete the `cache` folder. Restart Victoria II and let it regenerate the map cache.

Crashing on Windows XP: Incompatible lua5.1.dll & lua51.dll files[edit]

This crash is caused by the included LUA scripting DLLs being incompatible with Windows XP, which prevent the game from starting.

Replace files^{[citation needed]}
Download older LUA DLLs version `lua5_1_4_Win32_dll6_lib.zip`. Go to the installation folder. Rename or remove the original `lua5.1.dll` and `lua51.dll` files. Extract `lua5.1.dll` and `lua51.dll` from `lua5_1_4_Win32_dll6_lib.zip` to the installation folder. Notes Alternatively, the `lua5.1.dll` and `lua51.dll` from Hearts of Iron III can be used. Some versions of the game with the Heart of Darkness DLC installed may still crash in the middle of loading.

Replace files^{[citation needed]}

Modifications[edit]

Active modding community found in the official forums or moddb.

Some brief descriptions of mods can be found on the official wiki.

Victoria 2 Great War Mod 1.7.10

Historical Project Mod (HPM)[edit]

Requires Heart of Darkness DLC and beta 3.04

Adds significant historical flavor and features to the game, particularly through events and decisions

The Github wiki contains numerous minimods and addons

Install HPM
Download the latest version of HPM. Extract HPM into the `mod` folder in the installation folder. Click the check box next to the mod's name in the game launcher

Historical Flavour Mod (HFM)[edit]

Fork of an older HPM version, adds a significant amount of nations & decisions but is considered more limiting in freedom as the events can railroad the player in historical scenarios

Install HFM
Download the latest version of HFM. Extract HFM into the `mod` folder in the installation folder. Click the check box next to the mod's name in the game launcher

Cold War Enhancement Mod (CWE)[edit]

Two new starting dates,1946 & 1992. Countless new events, nations, decisions and mechanics

Based on New World Order (NWO)

Install CWE
Download the latest version of CWE through Moddb or Github. The Moddb link is out of date so Github should be preferable. Extract CWE into the `mod` folder in the installation folder. The optional music files can be found here and need to be extracted in the mods music folder (/mod/CWE/music/). Click the check box next to the mod's name in the game launcher
