Mixed Up Flags

[Pyrrus]

(forgot to mention in the title: HOI3)

Hi there,

Great game but I'm having a minor problem with the country flags being mixed up and overlapping. As Germany, for example, the flag tile is half German half British... etc. Its quite a pain. I assume there's a very simple way to fix this minor problem as with most of Paradox's games but havent been able to work it out for myself, even with reinstalling all patches individually. Can anyone help me out?

P.S Please do not direction me to the HOI3 tech support forum. I am morally opposed to its existence...

A thread on it here, with various solutions ranging from deleting or simply moving a single file, running the game as administrator if you're using Vista, resizing the flag files using Paint.Net etc.
Sorry, it's in the tech support forum, I don't know why you could possibly be morally opposed to tech support.

^Paradox requires that you register your game to see the tech support forum, the mod forum's, etc. While I'm fine with it, I've seen some people display a general distrust in the process. Some people obviously can't register their games because they are pirated, not that the OP is in that group. That is mostly why paradox instituted the procedure, simply to make the life of pirates a little more difficult.
