[mint remnant]

That didnt help

Hoi 4 should be afraid of me

I will delete every file one by one until something starts working

[next fjord]

Nvm I don’t have a pin for it. @wary parcel

Clear user directory

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

[wary parcel]

[next fjord]

It could be your friend as well

[wary parcel]

Ok yeah I guess try this

[next fjord]

Yeah seems good. Try launching the game with your mods now

[wary parcel]

now my playset is gone

[next fjord]

Yeah that happens. Haven’t been able to find the files in there where playsets are determined. The obvious folder is empty

Actually yeah that’s why I haven’t pinned it

[wary parcel]

[next fjord]

Yeah it has to download stuff after clearing out

[turbid vapor]

Ideas why this happens?

[wary parcel]

[wary parcel]

isnt that just if the host doesnt let you in the game

[turbid vapor]

its a public game tho

i guess cuz its running idk

[wary parcel]

@next fjord The same

[next fjord]

You reinstalled mods yet? Sometimes Steam just… doesn’t update mods

[wary parcel]

Why would I need to reinstall mods

[next fjord]

To force Steam to update them

[sharp vessel]

Did they fix the newest version of the game yet?

[bright fiber]

i installed a mod but if i want to play a normal game it always has the mod in

how do i unselect a mod?

[next fjord]

Playsets and hit disable on the right

[bright fiber]

[next fjord]

Yes

[bright fiber]

[next fjord]

Road to 56 is not updated to 1.12

[next fjord]

Try using OpenGL

[crystal dove]

welp that sucks

what about horst?

[next fjord]

I don't know what that is

You can rollback to 1.11 to play Rt56

There should be a rollback pin here as well I'll just quickly write one up

[woeful jacinth]

oh it works

i think

[next fjord]

Alright, I hope it continues working then

[woeful jacinth]

ah yes

it's working just fine

thanks anyway

[crystal dove]

how?

idk how to get to dx9

[next fjord]

Yeah hold on I'm making a video so I can just pin a tutorial here

For Rollback that is

DX9 is already in the pins but that is not the problem you are facing

Oh I messed the video up

Oh well it's still viewable @crystal dove

[crystal dove]

Oh well I'll just delete this version of the video later

[fallen mulch]

[final herald]

Can someone help me reset my resolution to default , I messed around with it to try to see nukes , I did it but now it lags like crazy

[vapid rock]

Ouch....i really hope you don't have that problem I had previously, had too completely reinstall windows. But I aren't a part of the tech team, just hoping you have a solveable problem.

[fallen mulch]

;-;

[next fjord]

I have seen this issue a couple times but haven't seen a proper solution. Would you accept me just running through a few tests that I know might not work?

[fallen mulch]

sure

[next fjord]

Ok, first I gotta ask what you have done so far and see if there's any tests I don't have to run

[fallen mulch]

i verified files only

[next fjord]

Ok, I'll have you clear user directory

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

How to rollback:

Btw this video isn't for you I'm just posting it for others

[vapid rock]

Hei, anyone willing to test something, I have a problem with my game and want too see if it shows up anywhere else.

[next fjord]

Sure

[vapid rock]

Can you load into Hoi4 (no mods), pick a random nation use console command "research all" then go too the modern aircraft chassie and try to select the different "naval attack" thing?

[next fjord]

Oh are you the guy who kept crashing earlier

[vapid rock]

Mhm, I just tested it on another computer, and same thing happened, trying to find out of its a unfortunate general problem or if something I can fix.

[next fjord]

Which chassis

Yeah I just crashed

[vapid rock]

Okay, thanks for trying.

It's strange, hopefully it be fixed soon.

[next fjord]

Are you talking about the fixed explosive charge?

Yeah I'll submit a bug report.

[vapid rock]

No, it just happenes if I move it anyway in the menu other than the first click.

[vapid rock]

And yeah me too, I glad it wasn't my fault.

[next fjord]

Oh I'm only crashing from using fixed explosive charge

I'll try and create this in a more realistic setting

[fallen mulch]

delete the hoi4 folder or everything in it and whats the differnece

[next fjord]

Delete the HOI4 folder

I'll update it clarify

Actually no

It doesn't matter in the end

It achieves the same thing

[next fjord]

Yeah I personally won't be submitting a bug report. I just tried it in a more realistic situation and it worked

[vapid rock]

Oh, interesting.

[vapid rock]

Can you say which approach you went or? Just curious.

[next fjord]

I went as Japan. Unlocked the necessary techs to unlock suicide weapons. Then I made a suicide craft using the modern small air frame and there was no crash

I did use commands but not research all

[vapid rock]

Research on icon click? Or?

[next fjord]

Yeah I used that

[vapid rock]

Alright, thanks will do that, want too try the planes out.

[fallen mulch]

still got same error

[next fjord]

I see. I'll have you uninstall Paradox Launcher V2

Control Panel
Uninstall a Program
Scroll to Paradox Launcher V2
Uninstall

Launch game again

[fallen mulch]

got that when opening again

play anyway?

[next fjord]

Yeah

[fallen mulch]

same error

[next fjord]

Alright well I got no clue then.
Verified installation
Cleared user directory
Uninstalled Paradox Launcher V2

I guess you could try reinstalling but I doubt that would do anything

[fallen mulch]

yea i done that too

im very lost

it was right after i bought the new dlc too smh

[next fjord]

Yeah so am I. Not sure where else the issue could arise

Hold on, try this

[fallen mulch]

all 3?

[next fjord]

I think so?

[fallen mulch]

also

[next fjord]

Uh

I would have no clue

I'll ping him and hopefully he can answer when he gets online

[next fjord]

@worn sapphire Ignore this ping

[fallen mulch]

FIXED IT

thank u kind stranger none of your solutions helped but you tried and i appreciated

[sage hare]

I'm still having a mouse issue, made short video trying to demonstrate it. My cursor works perfectly fine until I click into the game and then the speed gets cut in half.

I tried DX9, but still encountered the issue. I rolled back to the previous version and it works perfectly fine.

My mouse feels like it's crawling across the screen, makes playing quite annoying.

Tried to do the same mouse motions before clicking and after clicking into the game window.

I jacked my DPI up to a ridiculous level just to get some normal cursor speed when playing, but at least that's a work around.

[marsh wasp]

Have you tried checking the Settings, there might be a setting for it

[sage hare]

I toyed with the scroll speed a bit, but it didn't do anything for it. Tried changing from borderless to windows, that didn't help. Didn't see much else that might affect it.

[fallow vault]

I don't think this is normal...

[whole smelt]

What is the issue? I can't tell from the screenshot

[next fjord]

Soldier models

[fallow vault]

No

The color of the nation is not on it

[next fjord]

Click the flag in the bottom left

[fallow vault]

Oh its already fixed

somehow

[topaz glacier]

My game is crashing ever since the new update came out, I can use the newest version without any mods but the countries are just like the default terrain colour like it's all just green with the countries letters I also can't view flags I've also tried 1.11.13, it crashes always

[next fjord]

Switch to DX9

Check pins for how if you don't know

[topaz glacier]

Thank you, I will try that

It works

[hasty fable]

someone knows why i game wrong game checksum

i don't have any mods

and i can't have achievements in ironman

[next fjord]

Validate game files

[hasty fable]

ok

[ancient orbit]

?

[next fjord]

1. Disable mods
2. Verify integrity of files
   Ping me if these two don't work

[ancient orbit]

tried

[next fjord]

Alright then clear out user directory

[ancient orbit]

okay

[next fjord]

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

[steel thorn]

[hearty yacht]

[granite kettle]

HoI4 is glitched now

[next fjord]

Elaborate

[peak radish]

[hearty yacht]

[granite kettle]

I have this version, my friend has different, I see people with different

and playing multiplayer is impossible because other versions

[next fjord]

Everyone has a different version?

Are there mods enabled?

[granite kettle]

no

[granite kettle]

ye my friend has e45c

[next fjord]

His is correct

[granite kettle]

ik

[next fjord]

You should verify game integrity

[granite kettle]

here you have this

[granite kettle]

and here

[granite kettle]

I did many times

everything is correct

[next fjord]

Then you should clear user directory

[granite kettle]

how can I do that?

[next fjord]

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

[mortal birch]

[next fjord]

Ok, sorry about that. It's just a bit hard to tell tone over text

[ancient orbit]

[next fjord]

Then I'm not quite sure. I don't know any other method that could work. I'll just list what you have done for the next helper
Disabled mods

[deft ferry]

anyone knows how to fix this low brightness?

i tried bringing the brightness up in the monitor and the gamma in the game and it doesnt work

[ancient orbit]

Gamma really didn’t work?

What CPU do you use?

[ember magnet]

How do you validate folder?

[thorn osprey]

hey i'm new and i have a question because i build factories but they take a long time to build. Is this the way or am I doing something wrong?

[next fjord]

Right click on HOI4 in Steam
Properties
Local Files
Verify integrity

[ancient orbit]

i keep crashing, how do i solve the problem?

[marsh wasp]

have you tried starting in DX9 Mode?

[ancient orbit]

nope, but lemme try

it fixed

thanks

[marsh wasp]

no Problem

[peak radish]

Still need help with this there are random blue and white things that pop on mine screen when I go near Troops in large amount of numbers

[marsh wasp]

have you tried deleting everything in the Hoi4 Folder in Documents, you should backup your Savegames Though

[peak radish]

Could you tell me how?

[next fjord]

Shilling my method again.

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

[marsh wasp]

just wanted to post it myself

[next fjord]

Wait this exact thing

[marsh wasp]

similar but yes

[next fjord]

I see

[peak radish]

this and move it?

[next fjord]

No just move the folders I said to

Everything else should be deleted

[verbal trench]

hoi4 keeps validating

can someone help

[marsh wasp]

do you have many mods?

[verbal trench]

yes

[marsh wasp]

everything after 99% is Mod stuff

so 99% can take very long

[verbal trench]

wdym 99^%

[marsh wasp]

when it takes long to validate it can be due to the amount of mods downloaded or a potentially breaking Hard Drive or something like the internet Connection or CPU speed

[verbal trench]

its more that it happens every time

[marsh wasp]

only hearts of iron or also other Games

[verbal trench]

i dont play other games

[marsh wasp]

what CPU do you have?

[verbal trench]

i dont know

[marsh wasp]

open the Task Manager and go to Performance

You can open it by Pressing CTRL + Shift + ESC

[verbal trench]

my wifi is bad too

[marsh wasp]

CPU should be fine, pretty new and quite Powerful, could be Internet Connection or a Full Storage Drive in your case quite unlikely, since the system should be at max 3 Years old, I'd guess Internet Speed

[verbal trench]

i think so too

[peak radish]

still happening

[marsh wasp]

How long is it typically?

[marsh wasp]

Try Verifying your Game

[peak radish]

How?

[marsh wasp]

Right click on HOI4 in Steam
Properties
Local Files
Verify integrity

[verbal trench]

validating? about 20/30 min

[marsh wasp]

how many Mods do you have?

[verbal trench]

idk like 10

[marsh wasp]

any big ones?

[verbal trench]

road to 56, kaiserreich, so yea

just deleted them

[marsh wasp]

it shouldn't be that long I have like over a hundred Mods, most of them are a bit bigger and it takes between 1-10 minutes at Max

[verbal trench]

but is it normal that he is validating every time i want so start it

[peak radish]

Do I do it again

[marsh wasp]

nope, steam found corrupted files and redownloads them

[marsh wasp]

that typically happens, when your Drive is slowly dying

[verbal trench]

oh

what is drive lol

[marsh wasp]

or Steam has to be reinstalled

[marsh wasp]

the Device in the PC that stores all your data

[verbal trench]

i will reinstall steam

[tiny valve]

can someone help

my map in hoi4 wont load

[marsh wasp]

do you have any Mods enabled?

[verbal trench]

tf it works now

didnt even reinstall

[marsh wasp]

might have been some funky steam stuff

[verbal trench]

now i have to update it because i'm doing a different version of the game

[ancient orbit]

My game closes once it loads

[verbal trench]

thats normal i guess

[tiny valve]

How do i disable them

[marsh wasp]

yes

[tiny valve]

Im pretty much new

[marsh wasp]

have you downloaded any from the Steam Workshop?

[tiny valve]

yes

I’ve unsubscribed

Form them

They just show

In paradox launcher

[marsh wasp]

go to playsets and disable all of them

[tiny valve]

Ok

[marsh wasp]

try launching it in DX9 Mode

[ancient orbit]

which I just used

[marsh wasp]

try validating your Game Files

[ancient orbit]

how?

[marsh wasp]

Right click on HOI4 in Steam
Properties
Local Files
Verify integrity

[devout depot]

Can someone help me my Politcal Advisors are Gone

Mods: USA Infantry Reskin German Reskin Ammunition Mod Player Led Peace confrences

as a Mod

[ancient orbit]

did not work either

[marsh wasp]

Delete your Documents Folder

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

[devout depot]

I realy want to turn Communist but i cant do that without one

[marsh wasp]

try it without any Mods enabled

[devout depot]

alright trying now

Oh wow actually worked thanks

[marsh wasp]

Some Mods aren't updated for the current version, so they might cause problems

[ancient orbit]

guess what

it didn't work again

[marsh wasp]

1- Unsubscribe any mod you have
2- Uninstall the game
3- Manually delete the two Hearts of Iron IV folders, you can find one under documents and the other under steamapp. Those are the usual paths to find the folders
under documents
C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Documenti\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV
and under steam
C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV
4- Open Windows Settings and search on the Applications if the Paradox launcher is still in the list, if it is uninstall it.
5- Restart your pc
6- Install the game again
7- Try if it works

[ancient orbit]

delete paradox launcher too?

[marsh wasp]

yes

[devout depot]

Why is my Hitler black like i cant see his face its just painted black

[ancient orbit]

he was banned

[marsh wasp]

German version

[ancient orbit]

but he is turkish

[devout depot]

Bro wha-

Hes Austrian

[ancient orbit]

i mean you are turkish

[devout depot]

No im German

[ancient orbit]

and so using the turkish version porbably

[devout depot]

Why should i be turkish

[marsh wasp]

I mean the German Version of the Game has it in the Shadows, like all Nazi Leaders

[ancient orbit]

then why you playing the game with the turkish language?

[devout depot]

Im not xD

[devout depot]

No Karl Dönitz and even some SS Generals are not censored

[marsh wasp]

Himmler and Goebbels are

[ancient orbit]

Apparently I have confused you with another person

Sorry for the inconvenience

[devout depot]

Oh they are

Its fine

Rudolf Hess is aswell

[marsh wasp]

yep, all of the ones directly connected to the Nazi's

[lean jungle]

this peace conference is crashing my game everytime

like other times its worked but

[marsh wasp]

try restarting your pc

[lean jungle]

this one is prob the largest ive done with the dlc and its not working - is there any way to get around this...

alright

[lean jungle]

didn't work it still crunched after i tried confirmign and died

[marsh wasp]

try verifying the Game Files

[lean jungle]

it says all ~35000 files are verified

[marsh wasp]

you could try this:

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

[high prairie]

my game is so sdark how do i fix this

[solar beacon]

My game has all black flags and no colors for countries? When I have a mod that changes map I have flags and colors? I changed graphic card like 2 weeks ago and I updated for newest driver?

[dense crypt]

Have you recently gone from DX9 to DX11?

[solar beacon]

No my computer was always on DX11

[dense crypt]

Okay, try changing from fullscreen to borderless fullscreen

[solar beacon]

Alright, thank you

[solar beacon]

Still doesn't work

[split drum]

i can not update hoi4

but last version is 1 12 2

[dense crypt]

That's the latest version

No, nevermind. You can reinstall Hoi4

^Perhaps you are using a beta version too?

[empty kayak]

my game keeps crashing every time i load my save at the same specific date

[slow burrow]

My game keeps crashing every time it hits January 3, 1936

[pure night]

So we still have the problems with different game versions we tryed verfying and deleted all mods but the game Version still isnt the up to date on how can we fix it?

[empty kayak]

i have the same problem but its August 3rd 1943

[dense flicker]

Whenever I try to use a mod it always stops halfway on the loading bar then it crashes

[slow burrow]

I tried turning the graphics down but it still keeps happening, and when I play other games like Foxhole it dose not crash

[dense crypt]

Are you using the latest version? Most of the mods are not updated

[dense flicker]

Yes

[dense crypt]

That most likely is the case, then

[dense flicker]

Thanks.

[hard snow]

Im stuck in the peace menu screen, im the only one in the peace deal but I cant take everything and I cant confirm and exit.

[dense crypt]

Your launcher isn't updated?

Perhaps reinstall?

[pure night]

We tryed that to

[hard snow]

I restarted my game and the peace deal reset but my points are stuck at ten and no matter how much I pass the number doesnt go up, I am the only person involved in the peace deal so this doesnt make any sense

[pure night]

its about multiplayer somehow even the same version says host has a other game version

[tight palm]

ah, sorry.

[dense crypt]

Try using a beta to rollback to a previous version and then remove the beta so it can reupdate

[devout depot]

The Mod "Endsieg" keeps crashign my game in loading screen

[dense crypt]

Are you using the latest version? Most of the mods are not updated resulting to game crashes

Try rollbacking to the version Endsieg works with

I'm posting here in hope of finding any help.
Since latest patched dropped at Friday, I cannot progress any further in my mod than January 15 as the game always crashes. I tried reducing number of errors to the absolute possible minimum in my available free time, but I ran out of options to solve this - neither logs (the last entry in them is several seconds before crash and there is absolutely no indication what can cause the crash in them) or meta.yml (as I activated -crash_data_log) are of help.

The only "progress" I've made after said date was when I switched off AI with a command - when I switched it back on, the game crashed immediately.

Any direction, help? Should I attach the dmp file, error log, or anything?

[next fjord]

Error logs aren’t great for finding solutions. Zip your mod file and send it to me and I’ll take a look a bit later when I have time

My immediate suspicion is that there is some event triggering at that point causing a crash

[tight palm]

Check your PMs.
I doubt it's an event causing this, there wasn't an event triggering on 15th IIRC. But I might have overlooked something, dunno what.

[next fjord]

Ok so I disabled AI and it did not crash. I don't think that actually says anything but might lean us towards the right direction

[tight palm]

I said that in the first message. "ai" and did not crash, "ai" again and crashes instantly when you unpause

[next fjord]

I did not crash when turning it on again

Alright I crashed now

Ok I have found something. It's always about 15 days after AI is enabled. In total as well. I disabled at game start, enabled on 15. Day 29 crash. Disabled on day 14. Enabled on day 16. Crashed on day 17

Yeah what's really getting me here is that it isn't a day tick

[next fjord]

I'll just compile all info I got for now
An overage of roughly 14 days with AI enabled is needed, which does not have to be in sequence
Nothing I deleted changed it. These were; events, decisions, technologies

Nor defines as well

[quaint sedge]

My problem is I can't press the buttons with my mouse I have to press more next to it

[spark mulch]

my problem is that when i disabled the mod and went on the flags are removed and its still stuck in the mod (the mod is road to 56)

and also all the flags have dissapeard

please help

[mortal birch]

My game crashes every time I open Mexico’s advanced section of diplomacy

My friend has the same oesue

Issue

[rotund ingot]

Need help please.

I loaded a game that was saved three days ago. Then the game crashes after a few seconds.

I tried to restart the game and my PC, but it didn't work.

[spark mulch]

thats what i did with my problem but it didnt work

[rotund ingot]

Subscribe and no mod

[rotund ingot]

Oops, I tried another saved game, but it didn't crash.

[spark mulch]

huh

[rotund ingot]

Perhaps it was the event that Italy joined the Soviets caused the crash?

[spark mulch]

yes

[rotund ingot]

So sad, there seems to be no solution for now.😦

Omg, I spent hours designing the fleet.

I think I understand why Mr. Mack was so angry when he said "my boat".

Michael, sorry.

If I delete Italy before it joins the Soviets, I might save my fleet. Or just wait for next update.

[tight palm]

This does not look good.

[next fjord]

Yeah I frankly have no clue what could be causing this type of crash where it requires 14 days of AI but it doesn't have to be in a row

[surreal fiber]

Could be a decision, or an event that hadnt timed out yet

[next fjord]

Yeah I was thinking that but it stayed the same after deleting the events folder and the decisions folder

[surreal fiber]

Cant be a focus completing, advisor being hired seems unlikely unless it triggers something

[next fjord]

Yeah I'm just stuck on how it has to be about 14 days before a crash but they don't have to be in order. That is really perplexing me

[unreal crow]

when i try to play with a mate half way throw the data goes corrupt

anyone help??

[versed yoke]

How to downgrade version of HOI4?

[next fjord]

Check the first pinned message

[versed yoke]

ok thanks

[unreal crow]

@next fjord why is the game so buggy when i play with my mate just us two the data shits its self

[next fjord]

I would have no clue on why the data corrupts. It corrupts on both ends?

[unreal crow]

yea

[next fjord]

And it doesn’t corrupt when playing alone

[unreal crow]

yeap

[next fjord]

I’ll just refer to proper tech support because I have no idea

[unreal crow]

how do i do that?

[next fjord]

https://support.paradoxplaza.com/hc/en-us/categories/202732728-Hearts-of-Iron-IV

[unreal crow]

ok thanks

[tight palm]

Could other directory than common affect this, like dunno, gfx?

[next fjord]

Possibly. The issue of the 14 non-consecutive days still arises however

[tight palm]

I personally have no clue whatsoever what could cause this. Bascially the last time the mod worked as intended was Wednesday, 18:11 CEST, I only edited stuff that was broken by hotfix coming out on Friday (and between the dates ported the achievements to new system).

It would be very helpful if there was specific beta allowing to downgrade to 1.12.1 and switch on-demand between versions

[next fjord]

Alright I deleted all focuses but the generics and it also did not work. That is ruled out as well

Interface and GFX also deleted with no fix

@tight palm I just found something, trying to pinpoint it further
I deleted Balance of Power and autonomous states and it did not crash

[tight palm]

finally. doubt it's BOP

[next fjord]

Seeing as bop is just empty files I'll try and pinpoint which autonomous state file it is

[glossy phoenix]

Hi

A few weeks ago I noticed that my game doesnt launch anymore. Even after reinstalling the game and the launcher multiple times it still doesnt work.

When I press play I can see in my task manager that the paradox launcher starts but it doesnt matter how long i wait nothing happens.

[next fjord]

Uninstall Paradox Launcher V2 from Control Panekl

[glossy phoenix]

I did already try that multiple times

[next fjord]

I see

[glossy phoenix]

Its been really frustrating because I have no clue

[next fjord]

@tight palm It is cr_colonial_government

[next fjord]

Have you cleared out the user directory?

[tight palm]

Thank you, will edit it and report back.

[glossy phoenix]

There is no user directory to be cleared.

[next fjord]

What do you mean, you would need to have one if you have ever launched the game before

[lunar pasture]

Is screenshot working, for some reason my f11 screenshot arent saving

[next fjord]

Yeah I had f11 break ages ago in Stellaris. I resorted to using f12 or Windows + PrintScreen

[lunar pasture]

Bruh, thanks

[next fjord]

Yeah I don't know any solution to fixing it. My Stellaris issue just fixed randomly one day

[lunar pasture]

I think it the 1.12 problems, i rolled back to 1.12.1, reinstall and it still didnt work

[tight palm]

Removed the folder entirely, swapped the autonomy in history and on_action files to vanilla colony one - still crashing on 15th.

[next fjord]

Well I'm not sure about what's happening there then

Because I returned all the files I deleted

Besides cr_colonial_government

[tight palm]

Okay, set the files to exact same state as you said - removed the colonial government file, but left the mentions about it in other game files. It works.

This and the previous crash - when I swapped the autonomy for vanilla one - leaves three files as culprits

One on_actions, two country history

Anyway, I'm really greatful for your work, thank you very much. If I manage to fix the problem in its entirety, I owe you something.

[next fjord]

Just a thanks is necessary, not much else.

[hasty pilot]

C:\users\(your user)\appdata\local\programs\paradox interactive or something like that

what i did was uninstall the launcher, uninstall the game, completely wipe above folder, and Paradox folder in "Documents"

but my issue wasnt exactly the same

[tight palm]

Quick question: any idea why the game crashes when country A has set country B as puppet (I've narrowed this down to that problem), but otherwise not, including A having other country as puppet?

[next fjord]

Literally none

[low locust]

Same situation

[next fjord]

Check your DLC list

If it isn't there I'd contact Paradox support and show them a digital receipt

It's in the order of purchase so it should be roughly last

[low locust]

If I bought it not on Steam, but as a key, will it work?

[next fjord]

Oh, maybe not.

What site did you get it from

[low locust]

Steambuy

[steel thorn]

Wait, where do you see that

[next fjord]

Right Click on HOI4
Properties
DLC

[steel thorn]

no dlc

ok

how do I equip Poland: United and Ready

[next fjord]

I'm not sure about that website. I haven't heard of it before so I fear it may be an unofficial reseller which isn't really allowed by Paradox. Not sure what course of action you should take

[next fjord]

That is a DLC that comes with basegame so it should always be enablewd

[steel thorn]

in RT56 it says i dont have it

[next fjord]

Uh, I dunno then

In launcher there is also a DLC tab check there

[surreal fiber]

The DLC check Road to 56 uses can not be wrong

[ancient orbit]

How do I fix the map thing

I remember i had to delete some files but I don't remember which

[next fjord]

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

[ancient orbit]

Ok thanks

[hallow fox]

is there a way to fix red dots on the map

<@&916727924093239336>

[marsh wasp]

do you have any mods enabled?

[hallow fox]

no i cant see my mods

[marsh wasp]

in the launcher under Playsets?

[hallow fox]

yeah

nothing

[marsh wasp]

try verifying your Game Files

[next fjord]

Are you using DX9 or DX11

[hallow fox]

no idea

[next fjord]

Go to the launcher

Go to game settings

[elfin jungle]

Beta Version of Hotfix not available to everyone or is it live by now?
Cant see any Update notice nor the Beta Patch in the Version List

[hallow fox]

directX 11

[next fjord]

Try using DirectX 9 and report back if it doesn’t work

[hallow fox]

👍

[hallow fox]

it works now thx, any tips for more fps, its running 30 fps and i have a decent pc

[next fjord]

Not really

What are your specs

[hallow fox]

i9 10900k 3060 ti 16 gbs of ram

[next fjord]

Ok yeah I see no issue there. FPS is less important than the hours though. How fast do days go by

[hallow fox]

i can run 5 speed with 30 fps

[next fjord]

Ok but how fast is 5 speed

In terms of hours per second

[ancient orbit]

why does my game look like this ?

[next fjord]

Switch to DX9

Check pins on how

[ancient orbit]

Okay thanks.

[hallow fox]

1 day pr 1,5 sec

[next fjord]

Yeah that seems fine. If this is relatively later on than that’s fine

[hallow fox]

its 39 but its the same end game

[next fjord]

Yeah it seems totally normal

[hallow fox]

ok

[next fjord]

You could try using debug_smooth

Or removing South America with a mod

[hallow fox]

should debug_smooth be on or off

[next fjord]

Pretty sure it’s a value

Not sure exactly how it works though

[hallow fox]

it just switches between on or off

seems better when on

[lethal needle]

Is anyone not getting the decisions for Ethiopia to prospect for resources when doing the Emperor stays path?

[compact nexus]

Hey sorry to interrupt I am new on this server and I had a question : my game keeps crashing and I just don't know why (sorry if there is the answer somewhere I didn't see it, PS: I disactivated all the mods and it doesn't work for almost a week now) sorry if I bother

[cobalt swan]

How to play HOI 4 in LAN?

We are on the same wifi network

but we can't figure out how we could do that

[next fjord]

Check the pins

[ancient orbit]

so how do i make all the countries have color instead of being dark grey ?

[surreal fiber]

Graphical issue, try switching renderer in launcher as above

[sonic agate]

Goy an issue where all countries flags are black and the ground is all 1 texture

[sonic agate]

Fixed with dx9 but now everything's got strange red bordersb

[thorn zephyr]

how to fix?

[quaint sequoia]

why is it when I try to play it keeps crushing? Paradox says error

[dense crypt]

A screenshot would help alot

[dense crypt]

Could you zoom in? I can't really understand what the 1st screenshot is saying

[native yoke]

hello. any help on how to fix total map blackout

[dense crypt]

Are you on DX9 or DX11

[native yoke]

i am not sure how to check

very new to all this

[dense crypt]

Launcher>Game settings> Renderer

[native yoke]

would this be in game or in steam screen

found it! lol

[dense crypt]

Alright

[native yoke]

i am in dx11

[dense crypt]

Try switching to DX9

[native yoke]

alright

[dense crypt]

Did you click on reinstall?

[thorn zephyr]

yes

thats the 2nd picture

[dense crypt]

Okay. Uninstall this

^Through the control panel

[native yoke]

problem sloved! thanks you

[thorn zephyr]

how do you get to the control panel?

[dense crypt]

Type control panel

It should pop up

[thorn zephyr]

uh

I see it but I cant type on it?

[dense crypt]

What do you mean?

[thorn zephyr]

I am clicking on it

typing does nothing

[dense crypt]

It doesn't let you type on the search bar?

[thorn zephyr]

yeah

is it because im out of storage?

[dense crypt]

No... It should be preinstalled

[dense crypt]

Go to your PC settings and search control panel in there

[thorn zephyr]

ok how do I go to uninstall it now?

[dense crypt]

Scroll through the control panel and search for an app called Paradox Launcher V2

[thorn zephyr]

ok uninstalled

[dense crypt]

Try doing what you did before getting those 2 errors

[thorn zephyr]

k

oh

apparently uninstalling it takes up disk space?

[dense crypt]

Perhaps it bugged because you had no disk space

Use CCleaner or an app like that

^It is the most recommended cleaner one

[thorn zephyr]

So now theres no way to clean up my full disk

[dense crypt]

Okay, try doing the following

(Just for clarification on the 1st screenshot right click on your drive and click on properties)

[thorn zephyr]

where is it?

[dense crypt]

The drive you use to install stuff

C:Drive etc

Although @thorn zephyr you could just unistall and reinstall HOI4

Unless you don't want to wait quite some time

[thorn zephyr]

I dont see it

[dense crypt]

Well, if you have the patience just reinstall HOI4 and see where that takes you to

[thorn zephyr]

same thing

[dense crypt]

And that is with the reinstallation of Hoi4?

You have to clear disk space somehow. Head over to storage and try to see if any unneeded files are there

[thorn zephyr]

pretty much my games take up most of it

and I dont know what things would mess up my pc if deleted

[dense crypt]

Is there anything in this?

[thorn zephyr]

yeah

[dense crypt]

You can delete the recycle bin one

[thorn zephyr]

done

disk still not enough

[dense crypt]

What

You deleted 700 mb

[thorn zephyr]

I cant even screenshot anymore?

[ancient orbit]

How does one downgrade hoi4 if they own it on paradox and not steam

[green pasture]

Try cleaning the stuff from your downloads folder next

[thorn zephyr]

is that the top?

[green pasture]

first entry in this list, says 1.18 GB

[thorn zephyr]

What if it deletes needed stuff?

[green pasture]

Go to the downloads folder yourself

decide what you need and what you don't

delete what you don't need.

[thorn zephyr]

I cant even uninstall because of no temporary files??

[green pasture]

do this first

this shouldn't require any uninstallations because it's just your downloads folder

so you can just shift+delete stuff from there that you do not need

[thorn zephyr]

It did not change

still 0 bytes

[marsh wasp]

could you restart your PC?

[thorn zephyr]

ok

834mb

[marsh wasp]

try to run diskcleanup

it's integrated into windows

[thorn zephyr]

i cant type into that box when I press windows key

[marsh wasp]

Press Windows+R and type: C:\Windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe

and then Press enter or OK

[thorn zephyr]

done

6 gigabytes

[marsh wasp]

that sounds better, try to install everything on another drive and you should think about getting a new, bigger one and install windows on that

[thorn zephyr]

I have some thing thats supposed to give you 2 terabytes

but dunno how to instal it

[marsh wasp]

Probably a Harddrive or a small SSD

[marsh wasp]

what motherboard do you have?

[thorn zephyr]

I dont know

[ancient orbit]

Are you on laptop?

[thorn zephyr]

pc

but I cant type into that box when you press the windows key still?

nor right click on apps in my taskbar

[marsh wasp]

it's common, that that doesn't work, Updates can Fix it and sometimes waiting, resetting the PC can also help, but that deletes all Files

[marsh wasp]

press CTRL + Shift + ESC and restart the Windows Explorer

[thorn zephyr]

done

bruh

this is from the start

[marsh wasp]

start of what?

[thorn zephyr]

This was my first problem

[marsh wasp]

try this:

1- Unsubscribe any mod you have
2- Uninstall the game
3- Manually delete the two Hearts of Iron IV folders, you can find one under documents and the other under steamapp. Those are the usual paths to find the folders
under documents
C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Documenti\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV
and under steam
C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV
4- Open Windows Settings and search on the Applications if the Paradox launcher is still in the list, if it is uninstall it.
5- Restart your pc
6- Install the game again
7- Try if it works

[thorn zephyr]

how do you find the mods out of my 300 gmod ones

[marsh wasp]

only delete the ones for hoi

[thorn zephyr]

I tried finding them before

I could only find gmod ones and probably missed it

[marsh wasp]

to help you with that could you download CPU-Z? here's the link to it: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/cpu-z/

[thorn zephyr]

I cant even open steam anymore because my taskbar does not work

oh its in my files nvm

Now it says a launcher was found but its not working

when I click reinstall it says theres already a newer version

[marsh wasp]

uninstall the old version an try again, if it doesn't work Verify the Game Files

[thorn zephyr]

should I manually redownload it?

[marsh wasp]

you can manually reinstall it

[thorn zephyr]

nope

even when I have one it says a new one was found but not working

[marsh wasp]

uninstall the whole Game and redownload it

[thorn zephyr]

ok

btw

when I do get the game working

how do you use console to spawn units?

running the game as admin and putting -debug into launch thing only works for nudge

[marsh wasp]

you can find almost everything with commands for hoi here: https://hoi4cheats.com/

[thorn zephyr]

It says only developers can use the command

so is there a way to bypass that?

[marsh wasp]

everyone can, it normally opens when you press the button underneath ESC

[thorn zephyr]

yeah

but when I type the spawn infantry command in

it says its for devs only

[marsh wasp]

I don't know about that command

[thorn zephyr]

still the same thing

[marsh wasp]

@thorn zephyr have you done these steps already

[thorn zephyr]

👌

[thorn zephyr]

is there anything else?

anybody?

[sharp agate]

How can I stop HOI4 from using 100% of my poor CPU?

I got a rysen 5 2600X 3.55ghz

It's decent enough for every game but HOI4 decides to use 100% and doesn't bother using the GPU (GTX 1660)

[green pasture]

If you have an integrated GPU, ensure that HOI4 isn't using it

You can force dedicated via the NVIDIA control planel

People seem to have this issue especially in Optimus setups

[sharp agate]

Ah alright.

Thanks a lot.

[green pasture]

yw, hopefully it helps

[livid gust]

@marsh wasp

[ancient orbit]

mod?

[livid gust]

Kaiserreich

[ancient orbit]

bc of this

no one of mods

got updated

only Ukrainian state

fps map

and al

i think

[livid gust]

I only do this mod

[ancient orbit]

its large mod

it need time

to get updated

[livid gust]

I just downloaded it from pardox's website

[ancient orbit]

wait 1-2 days

[livid gust]

why ?

[ancient orbit]

bc mod didnt got update

[livid gust]

What are the mods that work on the latest version?

[ancient orbit]

Ukrainian state, fps map, dialogue mod

[livid gust]

I mean great mods that change the game

[ancient orbit]

bc they are big

and they need more tie

time

[spark mulch]

uhhh

help please

[surreal fiber]

switch renderer in launcher

[spark mulch]

what do i switch it to?

direct9 or opengl

[surreal fiber]

try 9 first

OpenGL has its own rare graphical issues, although it has less crashing issues

[spark mulch]

huh

i will try 9

thanks its working

[ember magnet]

I got the game when it free now it won’t let me play is their a reason?

[next fjord]

It was a trial

It was not free to keep

[opal sequoia]

well i kinda found a Solution how you can still play it

but the way is more annoying

[hardy spoke]

why does it open steam when i click on hoi4

[next fjord]

Because HOI4 runs on Steam

[hardy spoke]

nah

not that

i cant open hoi4 because it redirect me to steam and i cant click "play" on steam

[next fjord]

Well what does it say on Steam

[mellow shoal]

did you buy hoi?

or do you just have it from when it was free

[hardy spoke]

i had it when it was free

[mellow shoal]

you have to pay for it

[next fjord]

But didn't buy it?

[hardy spoke]

maybe that might be the reason

[next fjord]

Yeah it's not permanently free

Just a trial

[mellow shoal]

that is the reason

[hardy spoke]

sorry for wasting your time

[mellow shoal]

its not wasting our time

[next fjord]

Yeah if you're genuinely confused it's not a waste

[mellow shoal]

we play hoi4, we have too much free time

[north quiver]

Me and my friends wanna play a game together. I couldn’t join their game cause I had a different checksum. I redownloded the game and reloaded all the mods and the checksum is still different. I have the same exact mods as them. Just player led peace conference. Can I have tips on how to maybe resolve this problem

[next fjord]

Clear user directory

[north quiver]

I did that too

[next fjord]

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

Oh

[north quiver]

I’m on e45c

Whatever the newest one is

[next fjord]

That's just basegame

[north quiver]

Oh

So maybe the mod wasn’t working

[next fjord]

Go to playsets

[north quiver]

Ok

[next fjord]

Enable the mod

If it's not there, add more mods

[north quiver]

Ok

[next fjord]

Make sure it says enabled

[north quiver]

Thank you I appreciate it

[next fjord]

No problem

[ember magnet]

With the subscription do you get the game or do you have to buy?

[next fjord]

The subscription is only for the DLC so yes you have to buy it

[ember magnet]

So you get the based game…

[next fjord]

You do not

You get all the DLC

But not basegame

[ember magnet]

You have to buy that separate?

[next fjord]

Yes

[ember magnet]

Damn don’t have that kind of money

[unique gust]

buy it now so u get discounts

[dense flicker]

Whenever I try to use mods it always crashes when it gets to halfway on the loading bar and yes, the mod is up to date.

[next fjord]

What mod is it

[dense flicker]

Rise of nations

and other mods do it too.

[next fjord]

Do all of these mods affect the map?

[dense flicker]

No, just scenarios and things.

[next fjord]

Alright well I'll have you clear out user directory

1. Open file explorer
2. Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
3. Move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else on the drive. (If these don’t exist, ignore this step)
4. Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
5. Put all the moved files and folders back in.
6. Launch the game again.

[covert rose]

I started my game few minutes ago and I've been asked for update it and agree. Now I can't open my saves. How can I solve this? I'm on a Mac.

[next fjord]

Can you elaborate what you mean by can't open saves?

Are the saves not present, do they crash, does nothing happen when you play

[covert rose]

It shows a alert that saves is from older version and can't be open

[next fjord]

Oh yeah, does it say what version

[covert rose]

The game ask for update but dont alert about your saves will be lost

[covert rose]

No

[dense flicker]

It still crashed.

[next fjord]

Yeah, that's not really something I can help with. You can maybe make a suggestion on the forums

[next fjord]

Alright, you validated integrity yet

[dense flicker]

I'll do it right now

[covert rose]

I have no idea what was my last game version

[covert rose]

Do u know if is it possible to downgrade the game?

[next fjord]

Yes, but only to major patches

Though small patches shouldn't break savegames

So I suggest you to check the first pin on how to rollback versions

If it still says wrong version then sorry, your saves are lost

[dense flicker]

Crashed.

[next fjord]

Hold on, I just checked Rise of Nations and it is not updated

[dense flicker]

it says the version is 1.11.4 is that outdated? It was not like that the last time I checked

[next fjord]

It is

We are 1.12.2

[dense flicker]

It worked before the recent update but alr

[next fjord]

Well yes, the recent update was a major update

[dense flicker]

Do you know any mods that have been recently updated to the new version that I could test?

[next fjord]

Not sure since you're using Paradox Mods. Just find something timeless like a division limit modifier

[dense flicker]

Alright

[next fjord]

Actually no it's safer for me to just find one myself; A lot of mods have a bunch of random basegame files that they shouldn't which might cause a crash

[dense flicker]

Ok.

[next fjord]

https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/50906/Any

[dense flicker]

Yeah it worked, I think its just because they are outdated

[next fjord]

I see. For future reference, mods that change the map drastically generally require a long time to update

[tame wharf]

i got the game for free on steam and now it wants me to buy it

[next fjord]

The game was a free trial; not free to keep

[grim sonnet]

Does anybody know a solution for no borders?

[tacit viper]

what do you mean

[ancient orbit]

focus tree...

[ancient orbit]

Try restarting your game

Since the lines don’t appear

[surreal fiber]

RoN does

[next fjord]

Yeah we got there in the end

[next fjord]

Is there nothing when you try and scroll down

[royal lance]

Well when you scroll down on the Steam page is there no buy option

[royal lance]

there is an option to buy the cadet edition

[next fjord]

Yeah so what's the problem then?

[royal lance]

i cannot open the game

even though it is in my steam library

[next fjord]

Oh yeah it was just a trial

[royal lance]

and it is in my steam library because it was free

oh

really

[next fjord]

Yeah

[royal lance]

no epic games 😿 😿 😿 😿 😿 😿

[next fjord]

No but there are sales on on some sites

[royal lance]

if im gonna buy the game

ill do it for mods and MP

[next fjord]

https://isthereanydeal.com/game/heartsofironivcadetedition/info/

[royal lance]

and im never ever gonna buy the dlcs

because they are like 20 euros each

[next fjord]

They go for about 10 on sale but sure. You can have quite a good time with just mods

[royal lance]

and mp*

wait

can you play hoi4 online

[next fjord]

Yeah that's what Multiplayer would be

[royal lance]

via some goofy version from here

[next fjord]

They are all the same version technically

[royal lance]

yeah but are they connected to steam

so can i play online via steam

[next fjord]

Yes

[royal lance]

damn

thanks for that site btw

i had no idea that existed

[inner copper]

Help. It doesn’t go into Hoy 4 for me. It flips to Steam and doesn’t go in. help me please

Brooo

[next fjord]

Gonna need a bit more detail than that

[inner copper]

I click on the Hoi 4 icon. It takes me to the steam page. I click on "play" but the game just does not turn on

[next fjord]

I assume you got the game when it was 'free' however this was only a trial and not the whole game.

Thus you cannot start the game now

[inner copper]

I'm sorry for bad English.

I mean, I can't play anymore. But just buy?

[next fjord]

Yeah you would have to buy the game

Use the link here to find discounts

[inner copper]

😦

[thorn zephyr]

wait for step 3 you mean everything?

[marsh wasp]

Everything in the hoi folder including the folders itself

[next fjord]

Not sure about that. Most of the folders I say to move should be inoculous

[thorn zephyr]

is there a video explaining it?

[next fjord]

Nah but we can personally direct you through it

[thorn zephyr]

uh

I cant find the hoi4 document files

I am in documents

[next fjord]

You can't find this path?

[thorn zephyr]

oh got it now

what now?

[next fjord]

Well basically you can either do his method and delete everything in Hearts of Iron IV
Or you can do my method and move the mod, save games, Screenshots folders, as well as career profile files to somewhere else first and then put them back in to save your data

[thorn zephyr]

where should I move them

[next fjord]

I dunno anywhere

It doesn't matter

Technically you don't have to move them, just not delete them

[thorn zephyr]

I cant open a 2nd file explorer cos right clicking on apps stopped working a few days ago

[next fjord]

Alright just delete around them I guess

[thorn zephyr]

so delete everything but what

[next fjord]

The folders I said not to
Unless you don't care about them

[thorn zephyr]

but thats stuff like logs?

[next fjord]

Logs just records from your last game

[thorn zephyr]

or game rules

[next fjord]

Game rules is just whatever settings for game rules you have save

This folder is just user data

[thorn zephyr]

the paper or just folders

[next fjord]

What paper

[random hemlock]

Is there some bug going around where your game crashes if you check a nation's detail tab (this is only the case for some nations, Idk why) or is it just my game and I need to reinstall to fix this?

[thorn zephyr]

under

[next fjord]

Paper? The hell are you talking about

Just delete the folder
