Copying my post from the release thread:

I installed the game today (+ DLC pack) and I have issues with two scenarios. They are missing descriptions, nations and probably more. The only thing I altered were flags, otherwise the game is exactly as provided by GOG. The game automatically starts with "The Finest Hour" add-on and starting the base game alone doesn't change anything regarding this error so I'm out of ideas.

Any tips?
From what I know Operation Downfall is bugged in all versions of the game. Not only it lacks description but USA is not at war with Japan and diplomacy is disabled.
As for missing nations Japan is simply not playable in operation downfall.
I sent a ticket to support so they will hopefully at least have a look at it.
Most likely not as this is a problem that paradox created. Both steam and retail version have this and Hearts of Iron III is no longer patched.
THos scenarios are part of the Star and Stripes DLC which is basically a mod for the game focussing on the USA.
The problem is that Dies Irae Stars and Stripes (and also Götterdämmerung) are not compatible with the last expansion Their Finest Hour. To play those DLC you have to use the For the Motherland launcher in the game installation folder.

You are indeed correct! I used the ftm_launcher.exe and loaded the mod and...it worked. (descriptions finally appearing, victory conditions look fine) Funny: Starting the Götterdämmerung mod crashes the game before reaching the main menu.

Now I wonder how I should have known all of this since I never played the game prior. This is silly...

Well that's interesting. Iirc Götterdämmerung should work with For The Motherland but there is a beta patch for it: click (but haven't tried that one)

Well frankly you couldn't have known that before. Except for the Paradox forum it's not mentioned anywhere....

The DLC Dies Irae Götterdammerung has a patch to work with FTM only in the paradox forums, but the links are broken so you need to search it.

The DLC Dies Irae: Stars & Stripes has a patch to work with TFH here: forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/dies-irae-stars-stripes-for-tfh-1-3-final-version.873612/

And yes, I made the patch for Stars & Stripes, and in the next update it will have a "Warning" message in the description of the operations (the descriptions are already fixed in the spanish translations i made, and i need to put those changes in the english translation too).

PD: First time i write here, and i found this forum by chance.

PD2: I can't put links, so you need to copy/paste the link.
