Yeah that's what I mean. Were you in the right playset?
Well yeah I'm not sure where the point of error is here
Yeah sure
Do you want me to hop in a helping lounge?
Yes
1 sec i gotta hop out then back in
I won't be able to talk so I'll just be messaging in chat
Nah I was just doing something. Joing nowq
Don't see anything wrong yet. Can you load up in-game?
Ok
So mods looked enabled, but checksum is still the same...
I don't think it's anything you're doing
Can you try and load up a game and try to enable achievements, but don't actually start it
brb
Ok, I just did that and achievements ARE enabvled
So yes that confirms that for some reason or another the mods are not working
Do you know how to do anything about that?
Right click on HOI4
Click on properties
Local Files
Browse
Go backwards in the folder tree to steamapps
Then workshop
Then 394360
Missed one, content
Ok so just stay there for now, what are the names of the mods you are using?
Aly's Improved Railroad GFX
Aly's Improved Railroad GFX - Supply Map Mode
Historical Army Insignia
Player-Led Peace Conferences
So the issue is most likely with player-led because that is the only one that changes gameplay
Go back to the folder, open 846066944
ok
The files all look correct
Try deleting all the files and then unsubscribe and resubscribe the mod
The folder aswell?
why are there 2
I don't know, I think one of them is legacy
Possibly. You have closed and reopened the launcher right?
yes
Go to the launcher
Go to all installed mods
Click on the reload button in the top right and select the box then click reload
If this does not work, then I think this might be the last thing I know to try. After that all I can do is pass you off to proper Paradox Support
it didnt ):
Well I'm frankly stumped. I'll send the link for the proper tech support
For all things Hearts of Iron IV always make sure to check the Hearts of Iron 4 forums!
damn ok
Also should probably stop screen sharing now
thanks
Well uh, sorry for leading you on this whole charade. Still not sure at what point the error is
Hey so i just reinstalled HOI4 before going to support and the thing got downloaded but it still does the same ting where the mods arent installed
Extremely odd. Try to tell support as much detail as possible
ok
I'm sorry for pinging and asking again 1 thing before i open a thing because i want to avoid it but,
It is Player Led Peace Conference BUT the Player led LEGACY one works as usuall
I see. That is a conundrum. Also tell the Support about this as well, because it would seem to be an issue with that mod specficially
ok im going to open a ticket now
My game keeps on crashing for no reason
I keep crashing whenever I open italys focus tree
or like when I scroll to the right
It’s likely a combination of both in both your cases. Have you two tried switching to DX9?
I havent
Try it
Try OpenGL then
OpenGL is the worst running and looking one but it has great compatibility. It’s unfortunate if it’s the only one that works
changing texture quality to medium removed the pixelation
help
download and install those:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999
Then do a restart of your pc and then try again and see if the game works
also do those things if necessary:
Add HOI4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it also to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
If you have the MSI Gaming App or Rivatuner installed, disable it as it clashes with this game.
Update your video driver
The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime installs a number of runtime libraries from the legacy DirectX SDK for some games that use D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, XAudio 2.7, XInput 1.3, XACT, and/or Managed DirectX 1.1. Note that this package does not modify the DirectX Runtime installed on your Windows OS in any way.
This update is the latest in a cumulative series of feature additions and bug fixes for Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable.
And verify the integrity of the files: Steam> Right Click on HoI4> Properties> Local Files
okay thank you so much
When i try to load up it just gives me this, with or without mods.
Using (1.11.13)
Newest version also does it....
Also when i take a screenshot through steam, it will be the normal menu.
Got it to work, made it run with compatibility with windows 8 and disabled full screen optimization.
doesnt work for me
Hello, I have a tech problem about the game. When I apply the game to play on Fullscreen 1920x1080 at 144Hz, the game sure goes on Fullscreen but it doesn't even play at the 1920x1080 resolution. How do I fix this?
Whats your problem
I think ui scale was causing that but not sure
Hello, help please
Check pinned
Thanks, I switched dx 11 on dx 9, everything works now.
hey why cant i click details without my game crashing? @here
<@&916727924093239336> <@&916727971820240976>
Please ping an online helper instead of the whole team
Any mods?
oh sorry
nope
Uh verify integrity then
Right click on hoi in the launcher, click properties and then click local files
@dim parcel try switching to DX9 (legacy)
i did it
still dont work
the game still playable, i just cant click the details tab without crashing it
idk what is it
Switch to OpenGL
And see if it still crashes
im reinstalling it rn
ok
@ancient orbit i think it worked!
im almost to 1937 and still hasn crashed
That’s great!
Enjoy your game and I hope the devs fix further issues quickly
surely!
thank you very much
@green pasture uh dude i did a full uninstall and reinstall same thing still happening
Well either a file was missing or corrupt or it was the OpenGL that saved you, I can’t tell since you reinstalled
Switch to OpenGL
i think it was the open gl
i had reinstalled it 2 times before now
Aha I see
and still having that issue
it is opengl
Well just check patchnotes
Clear user directory
but thank you very much
did it doesnt work
1.11.3 barbarossa works same with all the older versions this not responding thing only happened when .13 came around
@vale agate do you have any mods?
no
well i do have but not enabled
Could you just check your play sets real quick
Like remove any mods from the “initial play set”
Because they do, so have a completely empty play set
So no mods will cause any issue
i just created a new playset
with 0 mods
not even compatible ones
lets see if it works
the thing is it first goes not responding on loading sprites, there you can do "try to restore program" but then it loads a little, reaches creating checksum then not responding again, this time no "try to restore"
oh wait nvm its working
it crashed again
thanks @ancient orbit
i think i will wait for another update
Np
@dim parcel you also have no mods enabled?
yes
0 mods
and it only crashes after italy annexes sultanate of aussa
before that it works perfectly
@dim parcel then it might be a back, report it on the bug report forum
and also where is bug report, i cant find it
Pinned messages
Read the pinned messages. They should explain what you should do
its working thank you so much 🙂
my hoi4 crashed on peace conferece ._.
Does that for a lot of people. Recommend you let the game report the crash if you got that popup so the devs know about them
let game report the crash?
How to fix this?
could you describe the problem?
it seems to be a problem with the flags but thats all I can gather
possibly or just a weird mod
you can 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

?
i did that
didnt work
verifying didn't work either?
nope
the thing is it first goes not responding on loading sprites, there you can do "try to restore program" but then it loads a little, reaches creating checksum then not responding again, this time no "try to restore" just close
in the launcher?
the game
have you tried runiing it in DX9?
yep
Also OpenGL?
the first time the issue was for mods just enabling themselves midgame but now there is no mods
ye
could you show it to me in #727260126481744033?
sure but wait
hey
it fixes when i log out
logging out of paradox account seems to fix it @marsh wasp
in the launcher
shouldn't make a difference at least theoretically
i dont know it just logged out because iran internet issues and now suddenly the game works
possible, inform me, when it happens again
alr
It doesn't work
how have you tried it this quickly?
I did it before this
have you verified the Game Files?
with the unsubscribing or without?
I've tried deleting everything but nothing helps
I also have this. It's a known DX9 bug and it is reported
have you tried launching it in DX9?
Yes, direct x9, Windows 7
Open GL?
It doesn't start for me at all
ok, then your GPU is too old for open GL
My laptop has a broken discrete video card, I play on the integrated one 
how?
idk
try it in this exact order again: 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
and also the Workshop Folder under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360
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
Can I ask you? Will there be discounts on dls or other products of your company on Halloween?
I'm not an employee of PDX and even if I wouldn't and couldn't tell you
No one can say for sure but there will likely be a sale for either the halloween or steam fall sale. paradox stuff usually goes on sale during the major steam sales. Even random sales or minor sale events.
you can't be using the Minimum Requirement, your GPU has to be too old, based on your pc still running Windows 7
Do you run Windows Update regularly?
Some of the BBA issues on Win7 are due to people missing some required updates
according to the devs
windows 7 didn't have updates since the beginning of 2020
They're talking about updates older than that...
they are referring to the Game not Launching or Crashing, not Texture bugs
ah, I think I'm confused because there are two people in the convo with two distinct issues lol
De-Synchronisation tips pretty pls xd
Im playing with a friend and we always get it after a min of gaming.
we both have a overall good pc and our internet connections are both good. The problem always occurs around the time 1944 and happened on multiple runs.
we both cleared our cache and are now re-installing our games
When I try doing the 2nd Russian Civil War, after I win all events completely stop, basically ruining my game. I just got By Blood Alone and did the Italian Civil War as communist Italy and the same thing happened to me, every time I do these wars the same thing happens, why is this happening?
Question, I am playing hearts of iron iv from the gamepass on pc. For some reason it just hasn't updated to the Oct 6 version and stuck in the sept 29 update, I can't play with my friend
Same here
Microsoft Store update is coming next week
devs can't just push releases to MS anytime they like, that's why it's always behind
Hi, my HOI4 map displays many black squares that like blink and i don't know what to do. I have Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Intel Iris X Graphics.
what driver, mesa or something else?
Mesa
and it's just the intel gpu right, no others involved
I figure you could give the env var from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics#Old_OpenGL_driver_(i965) a quick spin, just to rule that out
what's the best mircophone?
I don't have one and just want to get others opinion so i can get the best one
How can I apply this or whatever that means?
Steam properties launch options should allow for it
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 %command%
I'm sorry but what does the %command% mean?
(%command% should be inputted as is, steam subst's it)
ye, just write it in like that
steam takes care of the rest
Weird thing happening
My checksum broken again
It switched from hoi4 launch screen to being in the game
Are you using mods
Yes
It crashes when I select a country
I can’t join the same game as my friends using same beta and mods
can you share the crashlog? should be in ~/.local/share/Paradox\ Interactive/Hearts\ of\ Iron\ IV/crashes
It doesn't have crash logs, and it doesn't say "Oops! The Game Crashed" it only says "Hoi4 doesn't respond, force quit or wait" in system dialog
I guess we can cross this option out then
What else can I do?
mm, what's the output of glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL version'
OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 22.0.5
that seems reasonably up to date
one more thing, so let's not use this custom option (bc it obviously just broke stuff)
but in the game graphics settings, try disabling reflections
It didn't work, still the same.
You can try to submit a report at https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-bug-reports.951/, there are some sporadic older discussions but I've seen no solutions come up there
Note that the report may get closed because HOI4 does not officially support Intel GPUs on any platform apparently
Also something else to try would be to try and run the game via Proton instead of using the native build
Do I use the last version or Experimental?
Experimental I think, but I've only ever protoned one game so not sure
I guess: if you have issues with the first one you try, try the other 😛
I have used all and none of them work
Guess the forum is your remaining best bet then, even if the bug won't be fixed officially, maybe someone comes up with a workaround
What does OpenGL mean under renderer options?
OpenGL is a hypercompatible but slow running renderer, typically used as a last case resort when DX9 and DX11 don’t work
Thanks. Also, is there a difference between DX9 and DX11 in terms of game speed? I’m stuck with my crappy laptop while at college instead of my gaming pc and I’m trying to explore some of the new dlc
DX9 is generally faster but less compatible than OpenGL. Sort of the middle ground between the best running low compat DX11 and worst running high compat OpenGL
right i've got a few issues. Firstly the dlc's are unable to verify ownership and secondly every single mod doesn't seem to work so I thought i'd unsubscribe and re-subscribe but they won't install
skill issue
thank you, i'm aware
cant access mods for some reason
the not responding error is happening again
this time the previous solutions dont work
I can't see the mission stats
Does this happen to anyone, whenever I select a preferred tactic for a general, the game crashes
yeah happened to me yesterday when i was able to launch the game
now it crashes on loading
is it like something to do with bbl
i don think its the dlc
i think its just avalanche
i mean barbarossa works fine
the 1.12.12 patched also worked fine
yea
hi, how to solve this problem?
the game crashes when launched and gives the following error
Any mods enabled?
no
hey my game keeps not responding when it reaches loading gui this happened yesterday, i fixed it but now its happening again and the pervious solutions arent working
Try clearing out user directory
- Open file explorer
- Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
- 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)
- Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
- Put all the moved files and folders back in.
- Launch the game again.
What were these solutions?
hose were one of the 3 solutions that worked yesterday, now they dont work
Alright, clearing directory did not work. Noted
this only happens on avalanche btw the previous versions are all fine
So what were the other two solutions you tried
DLC ownership verification is still a problem for me
the first time i just changed renders. the second time changing renders didnt work so i just did a full re install. then the 3rd time that didnt work so i logged out of my account in the launcher and also did the solutions you just listed. now here i am the day after and none of the 3 solutions are working. i also did verify, still doesnt work
I'd probably take that straight up to Paradox Support if it concerns that
https://support.paradoxplaza.com/hc/en-us/categories/202732728-Hearts-of-Iron-IV
For all things Hearts of Iron IV always make sure to check the Hearts of Iron 4 forums!
I'd also just go to Paradox Support. That's all of the common solutions. Tell them every method you have tried and how they stopped working one after another
is there any specified date on where the next patch or open beta is coming? open beta was the only time i was able to play hoi4 after avalanche
There is not
alr thanks anyway so uh how do i go to paradox support
The link I just sent
so I don't think my issue is in the common issue's section
open ticket
mhm
Hold on
ok what now
Scroll down to the bottom and there should be a button to submit a request
Or just right below the platforms list
alr, doubt it'll do any good but i submitted a report
Submitted my report, looking forward to a reply
@next fjord much thanks for the help
if i buy the subscription, do i also have to purchase the game or does the subscription include the game, because i dont know why it will let me buy it if it doesnt include the game
help it won't let me play the game I get in and the flags come out black and I get into the game and I can't investigate
No. You will have to get both subscription and base game to have access to the full version of the game
Pinned messages
Thank you
i bought blood alone but i cannot see CAS models i only have the starting one is this normal ?
please ping me if you have an answer
Could you show a screenshot
That doesn't really make sense since there are no specific CAS models
You can make fighters have CAS missions too, for example
Not update, just add the required weapons etc
thank you
try doing what they say
uh i havent had this before (btw i do have c++ installed and did verify)
Since you have C++ you can bypass some steps
download and install those:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999
Then do a restart of your pc and then try again and see if the game works
also do those things if necessary:
Add HOI4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it also to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
If you have the MSI Gaming App or Rivatuner installed, disable it as it clashes with this game.

So im lost when it comes to computer stuff xD. Is it enough to download and open the progams to install them?
i also placed them in some random folder
What is the issue? The map being black and flags being blank too?
yeah
Just change the Renderer
may u add how to do that
The links I posted earlier are for another issue, unrelated to yours
Launcher> Game settings> Renderer should be there
appreciate your effort in helping others, wish you all the best in life!!
Hello, I have a few problems with hoi4. Can you help me please?
- Problem with portraits (and I often desynchronize in multiplayer games, maybe it's connected)
- My messages are not displayed being in mutliplayer lobby
What's the issue with the portraits?
It should be like this. For example, when the chair is ruling Poland I also see a common portrait
Everytime when I clicked the Switzerland diplomacy details my hoi4 close
😬
It is a single player game and I'm played as germany
You tried switching to DX9 or OpenGL/
i have all those installed it didnt work
maybe i could try uninstalling and reinstalling?
how do i uninstall c++
it's likely, that your PC is slower than the hosts PC and therefore calculates everything too slowly to keep up
and if im the host ? it's the player ?
or connection issues
it's unlikely internet, one player uses about 100 kbit/s - 2 mbit/s depending on what's happening and the speed you're playing on
why before the "blood alone" my game never dyscn
is it with the same person, you're playing with?
yeh
what is their CPU and yours and is the same Person host?
then the other one is desyncing not you, did you have unstable internet lately?
I ahve a 1942 game and it wont load
I thino its ruined
…
I crashed 2 tikes tryna load it
How do i save my game
i change my connection maybe it's that ?
have you send a crash report to pdx?
Nvm its loaded
likely, can you do a speedtest?
It just takes a long time
yes wait
try not to click anything, while loading, there was a bug a while ago, that when you click or do anything while loading the Game it would crash
the ping is quite high
the speed seems fine, but the ping is concerning, could the other person do a speedtest aswell?
my friend not here today
the stats are better, but not significantly, possibly a combination of your ping and the ping of your friend
okay thanks but it always in "1940-41" and when the first desync come the game desync all the 5 min
you could try a lower Game Speed
but it's speed 4 the game never end if y play in speed 3
lower speeds result in less desyncs
thanks for the help i try everything you say 👍
i speak not very good english but thanks
nah it's fine, the first screenshot looked like french text
😂
is it true though?
yeh
lol, then the four years of french in school pay off at least once 😂
yes because me i don't very enderstand "ascendant" and "descendant" then im french and you english men
that no sense
I'm not english either, I'm German
so you had some German or just know it because of the internet?
DUOLINGO
lol
Is the indian civil war starting with no armies a known bug?
Hey, um... I keep crashing. Anytime I begin a game, after a minute or so I crash.
Send a screenshot of your screen after it crashes
how do I do that
You need to turn on Nakama(Not sure if it's called like that) in order to crossplay,otherwise you cannot playing if you both aren't from the same platform
Just take a screenshot of your screen after it crashes with windows key,left shift and s
THATS ME
Steam>Hoi4>Launch and 3 options should pop up
Ah right
Yeah I have no clue for xbox
Do you have the same mods turned on?
we have no mods
Here it is.
@ancient orbit Are you on steam or gamepass?
your version e45c is the old patch pre By Blood Alone DLC. update your game to the latest patch. 6b16 is the latest checksum
?
?
and the other person?
thats the issue
currently steam and gamepass have different versions because gamepass has a limit to the amount of updates it can have per week
so the newest patch is only on steam. Not yet on xbox
I still dont have any help

@whole smelt
print screen button
Move on please
hello everytime i launch the game (with or without mods)i can't see any colours
i launched for the first time the game the week it was free and launched a mod that was outdated and i thought that it would launch the good version for the mod and from that moment i can't see any colours, flags, and most of the girigeants face
anyone able to help save a save game of mine, played all last night till 3am and this morning game crashes after few days after unpausing, any ideas?
My fps averages 20
And my 5 speed is (according to my friends) their 3 speed
My pc is i7 5520 and Intel HD 620
Is this normal for a pc of my calibre
Or is something in my pc affecting it
none of those worked. i reset my windows and now im downloading everything again. hope hoi4 works
yo i keep on getting this failed to load map
Check pinned
what am i supposed to look
The dx11 think

What do I do
Did you verify integrity ?
how do you do that?
Scroll a bit up, someone had the same issue
alright
Why can’t I get achievements
Cuz u got mods
I have a custom unit icon mod does that count
prob
np
@ember crater it didn’t work
idk then
my game wont even load still lmao

Playing as Poland sucks without dlc anyways
yo guys why isnt my checksum matching with my friends, therefore we cant play
- we have no mods
do you play on different platforms
one of the desyncs me and my friend got when playing. idk if japan border conflict had anything todo with that, i had 0 divs in the border war btw. was just when border conflict finished i think. any idea when this will get fixed? (i was USSR)
It's a decision, not a BOP decision If I remember correctly
Try a full uninstall and reinstall, that usually triggers Steam to install missing dependencies, if any.
I tried, yet it did not work
it is a BOP decision
Ah my bad then
I need help

Ok so my friend is on hoi4 through xbox gamepass and when we try to join eachother through server Id it says connection timed out
Does anyone know how to fix this
In the main menu, does it same the same version number and checksum for the both of you?
Xbox gamepass probably isn't on the latest update yet
Oh ok
So I can just revert back ot an update that he is on and it should fix it right
Only thing you can revert to is barbarossa and im not sure of gamepass users can do that
Ok
(i've literally never used gamepass)
Alright so this pops up every time I try to load a mod. I've tried cleaning the user directory but it also didn't work lol any possible solutions?
The mod is probably not updated to work with the big update recently released
I've also tried it on an older version and the same thing happened
What mod
Millennium dawn
make sure you're using this one
I am
it should work with the newest version of hoi4
Sadly it doesn't
gimme two sec and ill download it
Alright
works just fine for me
Tf
does anyone know why the launcher crashes after each autosave?
I guess I should go here
Ok so I’m playing right now and you know how whenever you push your mouse all the way to one side of the screen it moves. It doesn’t do that now
I keep having this error here when I try to load my mod.
Might want to check that you're on proper fullscreen
Should be
go to borderless then back to fullscreen
I have no clue what it is asking me to do? I have already deleted the unnecessary files, used Nudger, and added the new files to the mod again. I did this at least three times and none of it is working.
The people who dwell in #modding probably knows why this happens
Then I should ask there then
yy
Ok so it worked but it broke something else
Everything is off center
check that the resolution it tries to use is correct
can someone pls help me to fix this?
Try switching to DX9
ok
Пошли вы все нахуй
Kick that man 👆
They did
(don't kick that other man)
oh my bad sorry
is there a fix for the game freezing in peace deals using broken worlds mod
u still have the problem??
@hearty grove
i have another problem
when i try to load my hoi4 with any mods it crashes
does anyone know how to fix it??
@me if u know
for this it seems like it freezes once you click on about 4 states
or just when the deal starts
Outdated mods?
no
Can you give a list of all your mods
yes
its millennium dawn and 3 submods
better ai
optimization
that last one hasnt had an update in a while
Also better not be Millenium Dawn (outdated!)
its not
wait i send the full names
Millenium Dawn Optimization Mod
Millenium Dawn Battle AI
Millennium Dawn: A Modern Day Mod
these 3
The map is gone; no mods are on, and even with mods, nothing changes.
(Note: Had a look through the files of HOI4, there is a possibility I accidentally tampered with something)
(Mod was on when this was taken)
so its like this without mods too?
Correct
tried to verify the files ??
maybe something gone wrong with the download
yes
honestly this update has broken hoi4
I think there needed to be a wider gap between NSB and BBA
fair but for me never to this extent
same
only to like 1 mod
not every mod i have
Yeah my MD hasn't been working at all until recently
@elfin yoke check pins
Ah thanks, really good to get some help 👍
(It worked, once again thank you)
Is there a way to change what the setup wizrd installs things on?
Hello! I am trying to achieve in-game gold award "Naval Invasion" and even though I'm naval invading using 65 (consisting of 6 brigade marine divisions) I'm still not getting the award. Is there an issue with the award or are there any hidden prerequisites?
There seems to be an issue with it, one of our own Player Helpers found it a few days back. We’re not sure what’s wrong because after we checked the code nothing turned up for why it wouldn’t trigger
thanks for the reply, possibly there's an issue also with other awards but I'm not 100% sure
how do you change it to E drive?
In Steam. Not sure about the exact tool but somewhere in the top left, under games I think there should be an ability to move where games are downloaded
when i start First world war, and Second my hoi starting lag
idk what to do
i cant even control my generals
@next fjord can you help me pls
Well have you tried anything like switching to DX9?
You’re using DX11?
yes
Try DX9. Get back to me if it doesn’t work
- Check pins
- Yes
this one?
Yes
Hi I have a question what is the difference between DX11 and DX9????
DX9 is older but can work better on older GPUs
It’s some technical gibbledlygook
DX11 is a more advanced ‘renderer’ that makes the game runs faster but has issues on older hardware
DX9 is older and doesn’t run as well but has much more wide ranging compatibility
something you can try is check your GPU driver versions and ensure they're up to date
the devs noted that some DX11 errors can stem from people having old drivers
What is a GPU?
and nothing changed
it lag as it was
your graphics card
I see. Try OpenGL then. If that doesn’t work, I unfortunately won’t have time to help
E.G GTX 1650, RTX 2080, RX 6600
open gl what is it
The last option, below DX9
Switch to it
If you don't have lag from the moment you start the game, I don't think it's because of graphics issues. It can be from a badly optimized mod, or just your computer failing to handle the amount of units the AI is producing over time.
OpenGL is highly unlikely to be faster on Windows than the DX* options. IIRC a dev noted it on the forum that on Windows it exists basically only as a development option / last resort fallback.
No, do just as you did with DX9 and instead select OpenGL
I want to eliminate some variables first, just in-case there is some graphics issue going on
Entirely possible that the mod authors did an oof
Quite possibly, perhaps some mismanaged event checks
I see. Quite possibly it is an issue simply with the mod itself. Since we have eliminated the variables of the renderer, you should switch back to DX11
How can i acctivate mods on my hoi4 game
i have re installed windows but since my steam go removed i had to download it again and it has to check for updates but iran internet is blocked and i need a vpn and vpns arent working correctly which means no steam update which means no hoi4, anyone got any ideas how i can bypass this? like a dns or something?
launcher
Run offline mode for a while?
wait how
no its like the checking for updates thing on first launch
what if you just completely disconnect from wifi when it does that
where its actually downloading stuff
^^
hold on lemme try
before it does that*
Nvm
I wanna start a multiplayer but i haven't bought a latest dlc and i have rest all till NSB. If i host multiplayer then the players who have other dlc which i don't have will get automatically off?
Host's dlcs are what count, yea
help me in the settings of the game which in the launcher there is only "make a backup copy and make a cache", please help.
That doesn't really make sense. Can you send a screenshot?
help me in settings of the game which in the launcher there is only "make a backup copy and make a cache",pls help
k wait
What operating system do you use?
Now that’s not what I was expecting to hear. That’s strange
Well I heard Mac doesn’t have the options
Hmm. Windows 7. Maybe because Windows dropped support for it they don’t have the options? I’m really not sure. This is unknown waters mostly on this issue
pls help
How did you lose more options
it started with an update
when i put directx9
Pretty Much my Problem, My Balance of Power for all countries just displays legitimacy instead of the actual balance of power. And i dont know if it is a mod causing it, or a bug or anything
Iirc balance of power is only a thing for italy, switzerland and ethiopia
Yeah, Dont work for them tho
do you have BBA?
Yes i do
then try verifying your game files?
Will Do
lmk if it works
Hello, it crashes when opening the game, it crashes only in the barbarossa version, it crashes when opening the game.
Can you help me.
i have problem i get game when is game free(hoi4) and i need to verify purchase on steam to play it
Still Broken Sadly
What path have you chosen?
The free trial is over unfortunately. You will have to buy the game
Didnt choose one there Yet
You need to do a certain focus if you are playing as Italy
Currently suspecting a mod has been causing it
But since you have legitimacy I doubt it will work
Yep, Solved my Issue, Thanks for the Support
oke
Hello my friends are on the 1.12.2 and I am on the 1.12.3 version of the game.It says there is no available update on my friends computer can you please help me
Game crashes every time I try to assign military high command trait to Tanaka. On latest update, no mods. Have reinstalled, started a new game, and the problem persists.
Are your friends on gamepass? I know Gamepass has desynced updates with Stram
No we both play on steam but I have 1 month subscription thing maybe the problem is that
yo so i have a problem with my game
i tried to join someones mp game but saids i have different versio nthan them
i did try to make a mod and failed miserably
could you help me scan the files to see if anythings wrong?
@next fjord
Probably not. They’re on an older version for some reason or another
Maybe in a couple hours
i sleep in a couple of hours
Well just send me the files now then
Anyways this could be a number of things. Mods, modified files, version number
Well mods can’t affect checksum unless enabled
So just verify integrity or reinstall or whatever
this?
Ok yeah that’s a modified checksum. Go through with reinstalling
If reinstalling doesn’t work, clear user directory
When the new update hit, did anyone else’s maps get fricked up?
Possibly. In what way do you mean
Like not showing border lines or flags
Try swiching to DX9. Check pins on how
What speed
wdym
What is the speed of your internet in mb/s
Yo what
Alright I’ll have you clear User Directory
- Open file explorer
- Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
- 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)
- Delete everything in the Hearts of Iron IV folder.
- Put all the moved files and folders back in.
- Launch the game again.
So I just delete hoi4 then re install?
i deleted the mod file
For you it’s probably just a DX11 issue. Check pins on how to fix it
its just an empty file called mods
Ok
If you used rhe nudger tool there may be trace files there
got the screenshot
can i delete save games?
the file
i dont got use for it
just leave it empty
genuinly dont care about the saves
Uh yeah if you don’t care you can delete it
If you don’t care about any of the things I say to save then just deletw them
so i can delete the screenshots i did on accident
yess
oh yea carrer profiles
hm
how do i move it
Can you save your games now that’s the question
Select and drag
these two?
Yeah
69.420.69
no no no!
obv thats not my real ip
wtf?
idk what happened
but like all of my original mods got back here
before i did the mods
lets goo baby
i got geoff's mod
Well hold on does your checksum work properly now
ok so
On mobile you swipe left and it's the second option near the top
i try to use mods like stalingrad,The new order, and big ones like them. when ever it loads to about half way,it crashes and does not load fully.
Are they updated to 1.12?
some of them are 1.12.2
I see. And you've enabled only 1.12 mods?
One one em is 1.11 but I removed it and it still crashes
I see. What are the mods you have currently enabled?
TWR that’s all
I was on 1.5.4 and I have an old mod I want to play but when I installed it it did not show up. I also deleted some other mods and they still showed up please help if it can be helped with.
unsubscribe and resubscribe maybe
same with you, unsubscribe and resubscribe
Already tried that like 5 times
Im trying to verify integrity of game files I hope that does something
Try launching basegame and then tell me what the checksum is
What’s the checksum
That's a modified checksum
Try clearing user directory. I'll bring up the instructions
Oh sorry I forgot to turn something. Off
Alright, try that first
Yeah I dunno about your situation. Sometimes mods just... don't load for some reason. I haven't heard of a fix. Some people reported resubscribing worked but not everyone
