Hearts of Iron IV PC system requirements

Last update: 13 June 2016

Table of Contents

Hearts of Iron IV is a title with very optimal system requirements. After starting the game loads its resources for a while and then both the video and the audio are working fluently. Activating the game while not meting the minimum system requirements is possible, but the processing will be slowed down. This means that campaign time will stop before automatic save. It won't impact how the interface works and it shouldn't be a great obstacle when playing.
