Hearts of Iron IV fans are becoming increasingly concerned about the grand strategy game's multiplayer scene as unknown actors roam community servers launching DDoS attacks to crash sessions completely, preventing anyone from being able to play the WW2 game online with others.
A post yesterday by user SelfHatingTurk on the Hearts of Iron IV subreddit raised concerns over this issue, however there is a post on the official Paradox forum from Sunday also talking about the problem, with comments referencing discussions on the official Discord as well.
Paradox has already responded stating it was aware of the issue, but today Peter ‘Arheo’ Nicholson – the former lead on Imperator: Rome who is now part of the Hearts of Iron IV team – gave a more concrete statement: “We're aware of the current targeting of multiplayer hosts on HOIIV,” he reiterates. “As of now, I have no ETA on any solutions. It's still the middle of our vacation period here, but those personnel who are available are investigating.”
