Patches and hotfixes are free updates for Hearts of Iron IV, though they are different in purpose:
- Patches fix bugs and/or implement balance tweaks. They are sometimes released alongside a new, major DLC. When this occurs, a portion of the DLC's features are usually shipped as part of the coinciding free patch, thus made available to anyone who has the base game.
- Hotfixes are very small updates to the game that usually fix only a few bugs and may contain a few changes to the gameplay as well. Hotfixes are commonly released shortly after major patches to fix any unforeseen bugs that came with the previous update, or independently to fix newly-discovered bugs or exploits.
Note that newer DLCs cannot be activated if you are playing on an older patch version. This is also applicable to mods, which have various levels of compatibility with new patches.

Playing earlier versions
Choosing version 1.0.0 in the Betas list in the Properties of the game in your Steam Library allows you to install this previous version on your computer
When a new version is released in Steam, this normally updates the files on your computer automatically. If you wish to continue to play an earlier version you can do this from Steam. This can allow you to continue to play a game that started in a previous version, if your game is not compatible with the currently released version, or you have technical problems in the current version.
- Open Steam
- Click on Library and then on Games
- Right-click on Hearts of Iron IV and from the menu that just opened select Properties.
- Click on the Betas tab, where you can Select the beta you would like to opt into.
- Select the version you want to opt into.
By default it is set to NONE - Opt out of all beta programs (which means that one uses the current version). On this list you will see several versions listed, but not the currently released version. Despite the way this is presented by Steam, these older version are not beta versions, instead they are the earlier released (live) versions. Choosing one of these causes Steam to install the files from that version on your computer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Per HOI4 forum posts Changes to Playing Previous Versions of PDS Titles and How To Roll-back Your Game Version, both dated 24-Sep-2018, there will be two ways to roll back the game to a previous version. One for versions that are from before the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) changes and one for versions that are after. This can allow you to continue to play a game that started in a previous version, if your game is not compatible with the currently released version, or you have technical problems in the current version. The steps listed above will not work for versions released before October 1st, 2018; please use the How To Roll-back Your Game Version.
Checksum and mods
Hearts Of Iron 4 1.6 2 Free Download
checksum in the launcher (in this case a7a4)
in-game checksum (in this case a7a4)
The vanilla checksum can be seen in the bottom left corner of the launcher. The four characters that are displayed in parentheses after the version number are the checksum.
The final checksum can be changed by the debug launch option and mods that you have enabled. (Note that not all mods affect the checksum.) You can see the final checksum in-game under the main menu when you load the game (it's also referred to as the in-game checksum). For all intents and purposes this is the relevant checksum.
For achievements it's important to have the standard checksum in-game, which in turn depends on which version of the game you use. On the top of this page you can read what's the correct checksum for the version you use.
For multiplayer you usually want the standard checksum as well, since one can only play with people who have the same checksum. If you want to play multiplayer with mods that change the checksum you need to make sure that all the involved parties use the same checksum-changing mods. (Otherwise you won't have the same checksum and therefore it won't work.)
![1.6 1.6](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/65g6MjcQgXM/maxresdefault.jpg)
If you have a non-standard checksum---although you don't have mods enabled that change it---try clicking on the 'Clear user directory' button in the launcher. That fixes most problems like that.

Two bits of good news to report today. Firstly, as you may have already seen we’re getting a new piece of Hearts of Iron 4 DLC called Battle of the Bosphorus. Secondly we don’t have to wait nearly a whole year for it to come out - this new ‘Country Pack’ will be releasing in exactly three weeks’ time.
Battle of the Bosporus is being pitched as a smaller DLC, that’s less about big sweeping overhauls or mechanics changes, and more focused on a small select group of nations. This is similar to what was done for Death or Dishonor, and even Together for Victory to some extent (although the dev team’s design ethos has changed a lot since the early days).
For the new expansion, the chosen few this time around are Bulgaria, Turkey & Greece who will each receive new Focus Trees that will offer each faction several distinct narrative paths, based loosely around Fascist, Communist, Democratic and in some cases even ‘Neutral’ stances. Turkey, as it happens, is the most requested ‘minor’ nation in terms of who should get a new content pass.
The DLC also comes with new music, new 3D models for Turkish and Balkan armies (which we assume will extend to the rest of the region, not just Greece & Bulgaria) as well as unique voiceovers. This is going to be a very lean pack - don’t expect any new mechanics.
Widsmob retoucher 2 2 – photo editor with special effects. Every expansion is usually accompanied by a free patch, but there have been no details given yet what will be going into the next update (which will be Patch 1.10 ‘Collie’ as per earlier reports).
Turkey’s navigation of the second world war is actually quite fascinating; we highly recommend you read this week’s Hearts of Iron 4’s dev diary, which gives a brief overview of what Turkey did and goes on to explain how they’ve translated that into the new focus tree:
Turkey did not formally enter the Second World War until 1945, and never participated in any active fighting, yet as a nation they consistently held the dubious honour of being able to fundamentally alter the war’s trajectory with their own participation throughout almost the entire conflict. They were courted by every alliance but maintained and leveraged their position of strength so that they could maintain their neutrality while still winning all the favours of courtship from the Allies, the Comintern, and the Axis.
Hearts of Iron IV: Battle for the Bosporus will be released on October 15th, 2020 on Steam and via the Paradox store for $9.99/£7.19/€9.99. Wargamer is affiliated with the Paradox store.
