all of these states have 0 infrastructure
and probably not intentional as even the wastes of the northwest terrotories have 1
also this
Yeah I just checked, I don't think it is intentional
northern (saskatchewan)
Yeah they def should have fixed that
idk it seemed like they were doing things to make states smaller but they didnt actually code them
mightily cursed
paradox
this is the base game right now
please fix this
its weird because the other half of these new states (0 infra states) do have a full name
also why does sanguenay not line up with the real life counterpart
sometimes my mouse scroll wouldnt work on the map, is it possible to fix it
Hey guys can y’all help. There’s a bug going on with my game where no map colors nor maps load. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading the game nothing works
Set your game to launch with direct x 9 in the launcher
Where do I do that?
Never mind
Found it
Thanks
needs more info
what
needs more info
wtf with flags ?
I bought the game and linked steam to the paradox account, but the game still doesn't show up in the Paradox Launcher
I attempt to play kaiserredux, go on to play it, but instead of having kaiserredux load the base game loads. And no, this is not an oversight, this has happened to me countless times and is not because I forgot to turn it on.
I played on DX11 and it crashed my game completely and glitched out, also made a system bug report appear.
my game keeps validating it's files and every time it finishes it just does it again
when I stop it and open the game anyway it says there's a database issue
Direct X9, Windows 7, I play on an integrated video card because the discrete one stopped working for some reason. Checking the integrity of the files did not fix anything, please tell me what to do?
I uninstalled the game for a few months, then downloaded it with the new DLC and saw this bug with flags
when i joined the game, it stays black screen and i cant do anything
can anyone help me ?
my friend says that he gets this error everytime he tries to launch it and he said he did everything that it said in the error screen, anybody can help?
Since they did what was requested:
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
It is a known DX9 bug. I have it too. All you can do is wait or try OpenGL
The game freezes when I open the game from OpenGL
Then DX9 will suit you best and let us hope the Developers are working on this bug
I have a few more problems. 1. The game is not displayed in the Paradox Launcher (I logged into the account with linked steam, but I activated the game with the key.) 2. In the research section, some textures overlap others. For example, in the section with tanks, the textures of the engines show on light tanks.
As far as I know, this bug used to exist a long time ago, but it has been fixed. But this year she appeared again. Why?
That doesn't make sense. HoI4 has a launcher of it's own. Could you be more specific/show a picture? The overlap is most likely an issue of yours. I do not have any issues with the textures
It isn't fixed but it is mentioned by many players
After BBA and with the map changes the default renderer went to DX11. Perhaps that's why it reappeared
I deleted the game for several months, then downloaded it with the new By Blood Alone DLC and this bug appeared. Well, let's wait for the fix)
How to change a nickname? In the network game section, I change the nickname, but then it changes to Player
when i start up hoi4 this happens and i can only hear the music
my game is continuously crashing somewhere between during launch and an hour after launch ive reinstalled and even deleted all files then reinstalled, but it continues to crash whether I have mods active or not
Why iron curtain mod crashes for me

I'm trying to download tno manually and when I try to play with it, it loads normal vanilla and crashes at the loading screen
Hey fellas, I have been having some issues with the game when I run it from steam it displays "Database error" "Database migration failed. Most likely, your database file has been affected by a newer version of the launcher", tried everything on the internet any advice? please tag me
Why is it sometimes shown that there is no field marshal in groups of volunteer armies, even though he is there?
Army group field marshal icon is empty, although a field marshal is assigned (not always)
It’s probably not updated
Known big I think, I’ve had this as well
@patent horizon

What to do if the game does not country’s borders, country colors, portraits? Restarting doesn't help.
I reinstalled the game, but it's still such a problem
Change your render on direct x9 in launcher
Will patch 1.12.5 fix incorrect display of flags?
Okay, I'll try it now
But what should DirectX9 change if it's rendering? Or do I don't understand something?
Many people have this problem with Direct X11, scroll above. Replacing it with Direct x9 helps everyone, it can be done in the hoi4 launcher
But on DirectX9 in some cases there is a problem with flags like mine. We will wait for the correction
Oh dude directx9 rly fixed my problem
But not everyone who has Direct X9 has a problem with flags
thank you <3
I happy to help
help pls
Change your render on direct x9
how do i do it?
In the hoi4 launcher in the settings
ok
so like the game does not load for me because it runs on directx9 and i am using 12 without the launcher is there a way i can change it to run on dx12
don't know if this a problem with steam or hoi4 but when I try to change the beta version of the game it gets stuck saying update paused and missing file privleges
Guys, it says that "democratic nations can't justify on countries that have not generated world tension", but I'm fascist. Is this a bug or internal feature? And how to fix this?
Had this happen right before a crash, fixed now after rebooting the game. Just wanted to report it
It's because the faction leader is democratic most likely
Driver issue i think
still need help if anybody can
I don't think my paradox luancher is working any help?
im not able to speak in the mp lobby, any message i send just gets eaten up
hey, does anyone know how to fix the bug of the game having a really dark screen? its permanently darkened like a lot

Why does the "3d models" setting only reduce size models and not remove them?
hi, I just noticed that I got the preorder bonus also if I ordered bba 2 days after the release. Is it a bug or I'm just lucky?
i literally said years 💀
Anyone know how to fix this?
I have that same too...
Is your Steam account restricted for some reason? Or do you not use Steam?
if its steam do you have like the acc library sharing thing on?
how does one fix the java script error for mac?
I noticed a bug that if I turn off the 3d models option in the game, the division model just shrinks instead of disappearing. The same with the 3d buildings option. But if I go to the menu, and turn off the option there, after that I enter the game, they will be turned off.
guys
i have a friend
he actually has a good internet but whenever he tries to play with other people in mp he is lagging
we don't know whyx
can you help?
Connect Steam I think
why the hell is my nation renaming mod not ironman compatible
Not true
Untrue
when i try to play multiplayer im not logged in my acc and it says one moment i wait and i enter my details then is times out i try again then theres an error i have no clue what to do i have uninstalled and tried a different account
Right so I got a rather permanent problem now: countries don't have a flag and colour overlay. I've already tried verifying files, a full reinstall and uninstalling all my mods.
You tried switching to DX9?
How fix chat bugged (chat before starting the game)?
Hey paradox. Are you ever going to fix the unobtainable achievements for game pass?
HOI4 was being weird, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. About 1/3 of the way through, I got this message on Steam, and the download refused to continue. What is the cause of this?
Why does hoi4 and the new Vic 3 use an engine from 2007
Because it's cool 👍
what's good hoi4, I've tried everything possible (I believe) also read a few forum posts, direct launch into the game works but the launcher just doesn't
@dense crypt Did your flags get fixed after patch 1.12.5?
I got xbox game pass
Yo can someone good w pcs dm me? I got a build I wanna buy and I wanna ask if it’s good or not
Wait wrong server mb
Is it normal that the flags on the map are displayed in a different place than where their divisions are located? For example, the flag of Austria is located on the territory of Italy, and the division is located in Austria. The divisions of Lithuania are located in Memel, but it appears as if they are in another part of the country
It is shown that they are somewhere on the border with Latvia, although in reality they are in Memel, if you zoom in closer
That's normal
is it wanted that their is no 'Cruiser armor I' anymore ?
Guys, I am trying to open Hearts of Iron IV with Millenium Dawn Mod on, but instantly when title screen appears, the game crashes. The version is the latest one. What should I do?
normal game works fine.
Any conflicting mods turned on?
only Millennium Dawn.
any others are off
I found a bug. If you try to disable the "3d models" and "3d buildings" options in the game, they will simply decrease. But if you turn them off while in the menu, everything will work as it should.
3d models: off
??
I get this "Black map" Bug every time I launch the game, I did everything I can to fix but it failed to work.
Check pins
Change render to direct x9
I found a bug. If you try to disable the "3d models" and "3d buildings" options in the game, they will simply decrease. But if you turn them off while in the menu, everything will work as it should.
Just make a bug report and dont ping us
Where can this be done? Sorry
Paradox Forums
Ok, thanks
Sorry but how?
In hoi4 launcher
That's not a bug. You have to reload the game for it to take effect
Why would you ping the whole tech team for that?
Thanks for you're help brother @left vine
Try verifying integrity and reinstalling Millennium Dawn. If none of this works, try to reinstall HoI4.
I need someone to host so i can get the crash report they get when i try to join.
Which render?
?
I am currently running a Intel Xeon E5-1620 and the game lag is terrible. I have 1000 hours in Hearts of Iron 4 and I have never finished a game. Actually I have never played the game properly due to it taking me like 8 hours to reach 1939. Would i5-12400F make a good replacement for my current CPU? I want to run the game smoothly and actually be able to play the game. (I have tried using FPS mods and other optimization mods)
Just use updated Road to 56 and own mod pack
has the patch improved the game performance for anyone in any way? ever since BBA, my game runs so much slower even before the war and this patch did nothing for me
nop
like I said in #off-topic, my google chrome flagged steam. idk why, and idk how to fix it. if someone here understands czech and can help me, it would be really nice.
nvm! I restarted my pc and its fixed!
Administration I need help. I have a problem with the version of the game I have and my friend they are different but Steam writes that all updates are installed what to do? i have Avalanche v1.12.5.b273 (8011) (5) he have Avalanche v1.12.5.b273 BUT (f9f7) (5)
we cant play together
wtf
What should we do
same i cnt even play the game for atleast 15 mins before it crashes
after the new update BBA the game started crashing lagging
i tried to play the old version it kinda runs faster but still crashes
u guys shouldnt have released the new update
Can anyone help me out on how to setup a multiplayer game on Hearts of Iron 3?
same here
can anyone help me? my game crashes when loading the flags
Mexico made the Synarchist Pact, got in war with the US and no one took a station. Faction dissolved so it shows "join the ." as option. After a few days they joined Allies and the decision still shows, but they are not a faction leader of the Allies.
Also, before the second screenshot occured, I am playing as Puerto Rico, already in the Allies because I am a puppet of the USA and they joined Allies at the start of the war with Mexico.
During the loading screen?
Try switching to DX9. Check pinned messages on how to do so
i tried make this
and tried with opengl
both dint work
I see. Have you verified game integrity?
yep
Ok, how about clearing cache?
yep
Hmm, interesting. When you cleared cache, was it manual or was it from the launcher?
launcher
Try doing it manually
How to clear cache
- 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 or you don't care, 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.
It worked thank you man
Can we report bugs here? Or only on the forums?
You can report them but it’s even less likely they’ll get read
I threw it on the Forum
Yeah here it’s infitesmally unlikely it will get read by a dev
whenever i try to name a battle plan it always adds "OffensiveOperation" at the end, what do i do? i tried to delete it but it'll just appear i even reset windows it just wont go away what do i do?
Doesn’t really matter
It’s supposed to be there I think
do you get that as well?
When I draw a battle plan I never change the name
But I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be there
hm ok whatever thank you
Сегодня в 21-22 по мск будет игра в HOI4, кто будет играть пишите и бронируйте места. @everyone
After Genius HOI4 "NEW AMAZING PAAAAAAAAAATCH" mods aren't working correctly
oh yeahhh, its seems a hugeee woooork!11
good job Paradox
my friend has hoi4 but doesnt know how to update it and its not on steam can someone help
me and my friend have tried to play some hoi4 multiplayer for some time now but we couldnt have really played because for some reason my game doesnt keep up with my friends game so i would be like 1 week late compared to his game and then my game would be really laggy so i got the idea to come here for some help if someone had any idea how to fix this. BTW my network and pc are completely fine i think like my other games work perfectly fine.
Have they fixed the constant multiplayer desync´s in the last patch?
And no, its not my/my friends internet
i cant connect to any multiplayer games and nobody can find me on the server list
just says "connection timed out" everytime i click a server
checked my internet. restarted game. verified integrity of game files. no mods.
sounds like your firewall blocks some port
i was playing just fine last night. ill double check my firewall though i suppose
figured it out. cloud was out of sync
ive brought the great ace attorney chronicles but dont seem to have access to TGAAC 2 which doesnt seem to be anywhere else on the market place
Wrong server dude
how do i go back to version 1.12.4 on hoi4?
Please do not spam your message across the entire server. Please leave only one question in the relevant areas.
And, you cannot revert to 1.12.4
1.12.4 is not available as a reversion option.
tendi
hey so my map on hearts of iron 4 won't work
it keeps just showing me green grassland
with no terrian
My launcher keeps telling me that it is unable to update and now about half of my mods aren’t appearing. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the launcher twice and I’ve verified game files 3 times on Steam. I’m on Windows 10 22H2 if that changes anything
I cleared Cache and the Launcher still won’t update. Loading up the base game seems to be fine, but it’s just mods that aren’t loading correctly
who can help me fix my mods not working? (note: no body could in 2 years of time and I rare play hoi4 because of that)
if you help i appreciate it
Could you share a screen shot and explain furthermore what your issue is?
Like
I enable the mod, it downloads correctly and all
I put it in the initial playset
I select it
I click Play
and it loads up vanilla
the mod I'm using is FPS Map
no matter the mod it never loads it
and yes its latest updated
ive verified my files
uninstalled
removed mods/reinstalled them
Can you still get achievements? If not then it probably is bugged but it still changes the game files.
let me see
i have 0
probably because since the mods didnt work
I never really played
it's boring for me
i only have 10hours and all of those are me trying to fix the game
in the timelapse of 2 years
2 and a half.
@dense crypt
If you turn iron man on with the mod does it still say you can get achievements or not? Haven't tested said mod but are the changes it makes noticeable or does it tweak specific files
What?
how do I turn iron man mode on without launching the game first
the mod doesnt load up at all
it just says it doesnt
but doesnt
A little bit confused, the mod doesn't show up on the mod playeset or does it not show up as an activated mod?
The mod doesnt load
I enable it but like
it doesn't work in the game
it always loads up the basic vanilla game
Are there any triangles next to the mod?
nope
Not an expert in tech matters so the best thing you can do is wait a tech expert to help
<@&916727924093239336> anyone
What's up
Am I the only one with lag problems since the new update
Check your CPU, maybe it just can’t process everything anymore.
You can always lower settings
how can i solve this pls someone help me
is it possible to roll back versions to 11.0
it work thanks
is there any way to go back to the 11.0 version
I assume you mean 1.11. There is no way to go yo 1.11.0 exact, but you can go 1.11.13 at the closest
it wont show up on properties
wont show up on properties
@next fjord
What won’t show up, betas or just 1.11.13
this is my issue copied from last 1: same i cnt even play the game for atleast 15 mins before it crashes
after the new update BBA the game started crashing lagging
i tried to play the old version it kinda runs faster but still crashes
u guys shouldnt have released the new update
its on none
Well 1.11.13 shows up below 1.10… for some reason
omg
lol
i thought it said 1.10
I have no clue why Paradox did that, really is needlessly confusing
As for your issue, have you disabled all mods?
i think i tried with no mods at all
shit got hella laggy even in the begining
1936
Hmm. Is it laggy even when paused?
yh
Ok, have you tried switching renderer?
no matter what i do its laggy almost unplayeble
i lowered my stats everything
it wnt matter cuz after that its just crahses
after like 10-15 mins
But did you change your renderer? Does the name ‘DX9’ ring any bells?
Alright, try switching to DX9. It’s in the Launcher in Game Settings
Yeah try using DX9 instead
yh i did waiting for game to launch
to see if 1936 is going to be as laggy as it was or not
i rrl hope it works
yh so far it aint as laggy as before
ill text u in 10 mins or so if my game crashes or not
so far so good
thx
man
if it crashes ill text otherwise txh
i dnt have but i dnt think so
If you choose the Nakama MP (I believe it is called so) you can enable Crossplay
Otherwise no
I'm trying to buy the expansion sub by paypal but it's not letting me enter in the sub because it thinks it's "outdated"
and that's even with steam wallet
What is an expansion sub
Ok if your on xbox how would you obtain nakama
In order to enjoy the content included in the Expansion Subscription you will need to own the Hearts of Iron IV base game.If you are missing some or all of the Hearts of Iron IV expansions or other additional content for the game, this subscription plan makes all of that available for you so you can experience the titanic struggle of 20th centur...
$4.99
126
Expansion subscription, got it. So it's saying that the subscription is outdated?
essentially, based off of from what I've been trying to see for the past couple of hours.
but it's not transacting whatsoever, the only things I'm getting are just "account alerts"
But it's not charging? What do the alerts say?
That my payment information is outdated
even though I've tried to use steam wallet as well
because I use paypal
it works perfectly fine with every other form, but for some reason they have a stroke when it comes to that
I see. Interesting. You'll probably want to contact Steam directly
Steam -> Help -> Steam Support -> Purchases
alright, thank you..
a minor question: does this also have something to do with this as well or is this completely different?
"we are unable to verify ownership
Nah I think Paradox just bungled that. If the DLC work in-game it's fine
alr, thanks g
is there a way to convert to a older version of hoi4 without steam?
I don't believe so
help my peepee don't work anymore
i think it's because of the 5G tower nearby
should i destroy it?
@everyone
@everyone
every time I play multiplayer with friends, it keeps on desyncing in hoi4 (I host)
It didn't use to desync as much as before BBA
Why when I try to play a mod towards the end of the loading hoi4 crashes?
@normal dew Normal members are unable to do everyone and here pings.
I have problem with my paratroopers im a relatively new player i have just some like 100 hours in the game but back to my paratroopers when i select paratroopers and i click the paradrop order i can't see provinces from which i can start a paradrop and what is worse i can't draw a paradrop order please help
fixed by buying it three times :/
I've recently been having some issues with my HOI4, such as; massive lag spikes, overall less FPS compared to what I've had before and much slower/choppier gameplay.
It had always run smoothly as I have quite a good PC, but all of a sudden the game just became unplayable for no reason.
Deleting and reinstalling the game, uninstalling Steam, clearing all my save files, I've done it all but to no avail; HOI4 continues to lag.
I can run every other game on the same graphics quality as before without experiencing any performance issues.
Are there any solutions to this?
@ancient orbit
You can try change the renderer in launcher
If it's Direct9 or 11 you're talking about, I've already tried that too
ah okay
What I've been getting told the most across a couple of different mod servers is that it could have something to do with the most recent PDX patch
I doubt it since I had already finished a run on that exact patch before the game started lagging
How to fix this?
The notification that the agent has been captured is not displayed correctly
can someone explain why this keeps happening?
i can hear the music and there is a mouse curser
but i just cant get off the black screen
tried reinstalling and cleard cashe
its in pinned messages but try again this:
Follow those steps exactly:
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
hmm alright ill try that thanks
Any solutions for this?
Check how people responded
Alright, I managed to fix it. All it took was deleting HOI4 and the PDX launcher & reinstalling them.
Pin this for people who may face this issue in the future.
bro i got the game legit how do i fix this
if its with game pass, try downloading it through a microsoft store, maybe? idk sry
Please help me, I’ve asked before and I don’t know where else to ask. I’m hosting hoi4 games with friends and it keeps on desyncing
It hasn’t done this before BBA
Does anyone know how to help
bad internet connection
either that or slow cpu, cant remember
For the host
the whole desync thing is really weird but its one of those two things
yeah for the host
Okay
you either have too slow of a cpu or a bad internet connection
try having someone else host it or slow down the game time
i upgraded from 2gb gtx 550 ti to rx 580 8gb and g3260 potato to i7 4790 im having fps issues on 5x speed
it was 40+ but after upgrade im down to 20-25
any ideas?
Could just be a symptom of days going by faster
The primary quantifier of speed in HOI4 is not FPS but days/hours
i had better performance with old hardware from 2012
than this mid tier
and i have huge stuttering
gpu and cpu are healthy as well as new upgraded PSU with higher Wattage
Any Ideas?
Are the days going by faster?
FPS is linked to days but is not the primary quantifier
It’s healthy but did you check how much of is used
Like anything below 100% is good
same as way before
60% steady
its not even temp issue
Do you know how to show individual core usage?
on 100% load i got steady 51C at max
not rly
Go to processors in task manager then right click on the graph and I think it’sthe first option
Well yes, to an extent HOI4 batters one core/thread. It is multi threaded but not well
Uh yeah that’s about it
However back to what you can do for free, have you tried messing around with the display renderers in the HOI4 launcher
tried both
with off i got up to 35 smthn
on paused its locks on 70 and doesnt go over
Off should give better performance in most situations
Just this because I want to see if it will able to work but press windows + r type msconfig
Then go to boot
Click on number of processors and set it to the highest number
Apply and restart
sure
Just see if it works, it only does in certain circumstances
booting up
i even moved it so ssd
mainly i store my games on my barracuda
21 fps on speed 5
50-60 on 4
which was worse than before fsr
Well sorry didn’t work for you then, sorry
It has worked in some cases but I haven’t found a connection yet
It’s better to just revert the settings back sorry.
Could you show your game settings tho
Oh yeah have you checked your drivers
The newest update crashes my game when i reach 1939+
its basically creates an instant peace conference that crashes the game
hello
why I can't open console in hoi4 in multiplayer
I dont have iron mode on
Just ask
dude asks to speak with support
the support arrives
dude doesn't elaborate, leaves
Happens
apologize my WiFi wont out
Yeah any idea on how to fix ?
@surreal fiber
@mellow shoal hey man you have any idea how to fix this issue ?
Get to around 1939 game starts de syncing in MP
And it’s constant even after re syncing
no, I'm not a tech guy sorry
idk, you already pinged the guy I would say
i keep getting this error
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.
I still get the error even after downloading everything and restarting my pc
@dense crypt any advice for my issue ?
Is it on a specific save or in general?
Could you state it again
But it worked a month or two ago with 10 people now 3 of us keep de syncing around 1939 constantly and consistently
And it’s lot not just every once and a while it’s like every 2 seconds around 1939
And even re syncing and clearing the cache doesn’t help
De-syncing only occurs on lag spikes, and in general connection issues but in very rare occasions the game might've been corrupted
Most common issue is wifi, perhaps it has lag spikes? I don't really play MP a lot but to my knowledge that's the most known reason
I would agree with you but every 2 seconds after a re sync and always around the same date
Are the same people desycning again and again? If yes, try playing a game without them and see if there are any changes
De-sync occurs on slow machines too
any solution for my problem?
i just bought the game and cant even play it
I have a question
Me and my friend are trying to play but it says we don’t have the same game
Nevermind
?
Far too vague
I explained it before
.
I got another problem i get CTD when i reach 1939-1940. A Peace conference gets initiated that instantly crashes the game
Sorry I think i got confused
my game is using 100% gpu yet only 2 percent cpu any fixes?
why cant i open the game? i tried to reinstall the paradox launcher v2 it worked but when i closed it and tried to re-open it again. it doesnt
i keep getting this error
Did you verify you files
Yes
i have the same situation and idk what i can do
I fixed it but idk how
Idk
It works for me but not through the launcher
idk then
i dont have settings
and cant play
and i download this programs
and nothing changes
someone can help me?
if someone want pls tag me
download and install those:

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

Anyone?
im download this and I turned on my pc and nothing changes
did u uninstall reinstall?
uninstall as in uninstalling the game and then deleting its files
how can i host a game in hoi4 to play with my friends?
Yesterday I had an issue with the launcher, it said it couldn't open up a folder in my documents, I deleted the folder as a guide said as it would remake it when launching the game again, since then, I can't even load the launcher anymore, regardless of if I've verified game files or reinstalled the game, anybody able to help?
This is what the launcher is stuck on
I'm launching a game with a mod, someone knows how to fix it
What mod is it
Have you tried reinstalling the launcher?
Millennium
Hmm. That is updated for 1.12 so it should be fine. Try clearing cache. Check the pinned messages on how
i try'd not working
is there a way to reduce game lag?my specs are completely overboard for this game being a 6700xt and a 12400f and it lags sometimes when the time is active and i zoom in close to troops, can i reduce it or stop it?
Does it not auto do that when reinstalling the game?
Hello,
-I have downloaded Hoi4 and the some dlc (Waking Tiger, Together for Victory, and Death or Disohonor).
-It ran on my computer well with maximum graphics at full speed. I played as France up until 1938. My computer has decent specs I believe as it was able to do this
-After that, I stopped playing until the next day and opened the game
- Frame rate was in the single digits, there was a lot of lag even though the game was paused. A couple minutes later there was a nasty game crash and I couldn’t even open task manager. I had to force shut down my computer
-Rebooted, reinstalled, turned graphics all the way down but there is no progress. In addition, I started a new campaign to see if it was because things were getting complicated, but it was just as laggy as my save file.
-I changed renderer to directX 9 (legacy), did not work
-I cleared my game cache, had no effect
-Is there anything I can do to fix this? I’m really lost and I was hoping I could play this weekend : (
I would also like to mention that I ran task manager on it and that it was using 90% of my cpu
This is the only game that acts like this on your PC?
Nope
Uninstall launcher by;
Go to Control Panel
Go to Uninstall a Program
Find Paradox Launcher V2
Uninstall
Relaunch the game
Yes
When you say you cleared cache, was it manual or from the launcher?
The launcher
Try doing it manually, follow the instructions in the pinned messages on how to do so
Ok, thank you
I tried that but it hasn’t seemed to affect much
Task manager is saying it’s using 99% of my cpu
What CPU do you have?
I’m not sure, I am new to computer stuff. How can I check this?
Go to task manager
Go to performance tab
Then here
Oh that is quite old, but it's recommended spec so it can't be the fault of the CPU
Oh ok
Oh btw have you tried reinstalling
Yeah it shouldn’t be because it was running perfectly
I have reinstalled a couple of times
Should I do it again after clearing my cache?
No it probably won't change anything
I'm really stumped here.
So you've tried; Reinstalling
Clearing cache (Manual and from launcher)
DX9
I'm not sure what other issues could be at hand here
Perhaps just try using OpenGL?
I have also turned my computer on and off again
It's slow and awful but might be your only choice
I will try that. Will it be better than one frame every four seconds?
It crashed : /
Ok then I guess don't try it
Go back to DX11 I guess
Also, does this behaviour also occur on the title screen or just in a game
Both
The game will load after I start the launcher, using 50% of my cpu, once I get to the title screen it is about 95+%
I see. Even on a CPU that old it probs shouldn't use that much on the title screen. But well, frankly I'm stumped on this issue
I’m sorry, thank you for your time
Could it possible be dust or anything like that?
Tagging this message if another helper arrives so they know what's already been tried
Theoretically so, since dust would cause issues with thermals but we'd be seeing the opposite behaviour and it wouldn't happen overnight like that
Not to what I know. Almost any physical issue manifests itself with thermal problems rather than something like this
I see, thanks again
Though, you could try downloading Core Temp and seeing how hot your CPU is getting
Ok
It’s a little under 50 C for all my cores
So yeah, thermals isn't the issue here
Dang
Tagging this message so if another helper arrives they can see what’s been tried
Thank you, that worked, only issue is I now have the same old problem again, it says the launcher doesn't have access to my directory with game data, immediately followed by a database error
i got an issue with a lot of lag please what can i do
before the New version everything was alr
Uh try clearing cache. Check pinned messages on how to do so
Or actually just delete that singular file
Have you tried using different renderers
how do i do that?
Launcher -> Game settings
Just fiddle around with them and see what works best.
well i did but i thats a bad screen graphics i cant see anything
oh btw
when i add the direct 11
and the game opens it has black map
Uh yeah known issue. DX9 usually solves it
whats the dx9
DirectX 9
it has worst graphics
i cant read the messages coming out
on the game
they are really small one
well rn its Hard beucause my potato pc Just open
it will take a while loading
i can read it but Hard
its like too far way to read
and my eyes hurts for that
I now get the same error, and now the Paradox Interactive folder is empty besides the mods folder
Huh now that's quite peculiar. You deleted the file it says in the error, right?
I cleared the cache, which also deleted that file
Well I'm not sure then. I'll pass you off to proper Paradox support. https://support.paradoxplaza.com/hc/en-us/categories/202732728-Hearts-of-Iron-IV
Tell them what you have done so far. And, if they tell you a suggestion that works, would you mind pinging me or something so I can better help others in the future?
For all things Hearts of Iron IV always make sure to check the Hearts of Iron 4 forums!
Sure, will do, thank you
i still have a lot of lag
Hello,
i just installed my game and wanted to play but it keeps crashing.
I already reinstalled and checked the files.
Can someone help me?
Try changing to DX9
I need help
I got a mod that appears as having its descriptor file missing and it worked fine before
Launcher bug
Try unsubscribe, wait till applied, launch launcher, wait for it to load, close it, reinstall
how to?
macos crash when selecting officer corp role
this bugs been known for weeks and there still isn't a fix
Launcher> Game settings and Renderer should be there
@next fjord just to let you know, it was an issue with my drivers after a windows update, thank you for helping
Ryzen 3 3100 gtx 1650 super im getting loads of lag even when I start the game it feels really choppy and games like metres exodes run better then it
Hdd ( checked it’s health it’s fine so can’t be that )
Also if I pan left or right it looks like screen tearing as in the icons move and jump jittery
Ping me if somone responds
try stuff in pins
Will do thanks
should i become communist as poland??
I need help my tank icon in production is not showing and I don’t have any mods on
I don’t know what to do
i got problem with black map
i use direct 11 only that cause the problem
what can i do?
and the problem is that only the New version has the problem
Yeah does DirectX 9 work
it has a lot of lag with directx 9
Yeah so unless OpenGL works better than you're stuck between a rock and a hard place
Either it lags really bad or you have to play with this
If I open air map mode, the game crashes
can I fix this
I can't even play the game
Is there any fix to spain civil war the republican side? I sent volounteers as USSR and there is no supply from capital
paradox launch V2 is not opening, i tried to reinstall doesnt work.
I've deleted and reinstalled the game, but still my flags are still glitched when my zoom is more than 1.0x
they're low res and it's so annoyinng
Probably not fixable
The flags are low resolution in the first place, and the game often misbehaves when zoomed in/out
I have evidence of the game crashing where can i submit it?
Paradox forums, only if unmodded of course
yes un modded all DLCS
How do i get to the forums? and will i just not be able to play my save game?
What happens around the crash
If you can narrow it down you can try avoid that, and report that with the crash report
i beat italy and it breaks
after the peacedeal?
You can just google Paradox forums and link your Steam to gain access
no on the peace deal
👍 thatd be good to mention
you click anything on the peace deal
I had like 4 bugs during this play through
all to do with the italy civil war mechanic
I got a random italien puppet?
Thats supposed to happen
Weird
i lose ALL of the land and have random splots of troops
have to fight back everywhere
whole new italien army spawn
in my terriorty in the alps
where there were NO troops of theirs
and then a civil war starts with italy in the peace deal
I do have video proof of thr game
and you know it isn't modded cause you can see the achievement thing stay on
is there a version of bw thast doesnt crash in balkan peace deals
@surreal fiber sorry to ping you but i can't type on there, it says it currently is not accepting any applications
and i already have an account that is linked to it
huh
it won't let me do a thread
i would prefer to just send the video in but idk if that is possible
any reason why my hoi4 lags to about 10 fps by the 1940s ?
AI building a shit ton of units
can i stop them do that somehow ?
are you on DX 9?
hm
so try switching to DX 9 in the launcher settings
np
my game keeps crashing out of nowhere
Anyone else stuck on an old version ?
I bought 1month all dlc and it ended today but I didnt have money on Steam and I got alert that the transaction failed but I still have all dlc
wtf
guys when i join the game screen goes black but there are sounds
can anyone help me
Unfortunately i am playing on a Mac however it meets all the specs for the game both minimum and recommended. I have the latest M2 macbook Air and i wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem.
Or if someone might have the answer to my problem
Have you tried switching renderer to DX9
the problem in question is a slow frame rate regardless of resolution of quality selection. I get HOI4 doesn't run well even on powerful machines (or atleast in my experience with my last PC) but i presume their is some sort of answer behind the games unusable state
I have not
is that an option in steam library or through the main launcher?
It could potentially be due to HOI4 not being well optimised on Mac though in any case I ain’t sure.
Ok, well in either case i think i will try running it in DX9, how do you do that?
Go to Game Settings in the Paradox Launcher
Ok
I just need to reinstall HOI4 again, but could you walk me through the steps on here?
Uh sure, it’s only like three steps though
Settings, select a box that presumably sats dx 9 / dx11 and then restart?
Launch the game but do not actually start
Go to Game Settings
Switch to DX9
Launch the game properly
Perfect, thank you
I will give it a go
Is it fair to assume HOI4 automatically starts in DX11 normally?
I think so
Great, well thanks for all the help. I will let you know how it goes... thanks again
@next fjord sorry to bother you again however the option to switch to DX9 isn't there.
Hmm. I see, not a thing on Mac then. You might just be stuck with your bad performance unless someone who knows Mac better than me can help.
I will search for further solutions, but tanks non the less
i tried but didnt work
When i pick a nation and click start it will load and it says initializing game and then it crashes and its been like this for a month
What type of crash is it? Does it bring up crash reporter or a map error?
Peculiar. Try OpenGL then
Thanks man its worked
Crash reporter
Ok in that case, have you switched renderer
I pick a nation it will start the load it will load halfway saying initializing game and it crashes bringing up crash reporter
How do i do that?
Check the pinned messages here
Whichone Opengl or direct9
DX9 first
Dx9 crashed instantly, Opengl loaded until a little over halfway and crashed with the crash reporter on both
Oh, interesting. In that case try verifying game integrity
It crashed again
Oh I need to check, any mods enabled?
nope
Alright so the only thing I can think of in that case is to clear cache. Check pinned messages on how to do so
Alright so hopefully it works. If it doesn't, that's unfortunate
Alright, have fun playing
i did put opengl finally i fixed it
any help for random crashes?
verify Integrity of your game files
they are ok
This is what i can see in the logs
probably it's a plane model not loaded right?
guys someone help me
Mods aren’t updated yet
Revert back to the previous version and you’ll be able to use the mods again (:
Im back here again, im just confused why my multiplayer game didnt desync when im in NSB, but when its in BBA it desync in like 1936-41
Is my laptop able to run this game? All my specs meet the minimum requirement except my VRAM (video memory). I have 512mb of VRAM and the minimum is 1gb
How much regular RAM do you have
7GB
You should be fine. Besides, if you buy it directly off Steam you can get a refund
ok thanks
Game keeps freezing up, deleted and reinstalled, have no mods but its still doing it
Check pins
@next fjord Found a fix, with mixed help from PDX and googling, PDX support guy almost instantly knew the issue was OneDrive, but simply removing it from my PC didn't fix it, as my Documents folder was still under C:\Users...\OneDrive\Documents. What ultimately fixed it was using the windows registry, and changing the location of the documents folder in there. I haven't tried restarting my game yet, as at this point i'm too scared to, but if I don't post an update saying it doesn't work, that's what fixed it for me
not same account
How do I change the version of the game to make it work with mods
Check the pinned messages here
Fixed it a little bit, but frequent frame drops/freezing still occurs
What do I do :woeisme:
What do i do when i try to play multiplayer with my mate and it says user on a different version but when i check my version we are both up to date and have no beta on, no different mods, no different dlcs what do i do
Does anyone know why MP games desync when you send air volunteers over the threshold?
(that also managed me to get like 500 more fighters)
Hey ive got an Question and i need help, so i want to play hoi4 but when i try to Start it this Message comes: ,,JavaScript Error occured in the Main process" what should i do?
Why can't I deselect a certain airbase? The button just doesn't work. I can only deselect a wing or a group of aircraft.
Does anyone know if you can still get achievements and career medals/ribbons past 1950 on Ironman?
This error can happen with a lot of paradox games, in my past experience it was all due to my anti-virus software running the background. So be on the lookout for that
I'm having this issue where the game sounds distorted, almost like it would be open several times. This is not just the music, it's every sound possible, unit selection, clicking buttons, etc.
I have tried the following:
Disabling all mods, clearing cache, reinstalling the game, updating audio drivers.
I rolled back to 1.9 (the last version that I knew was working) and surprisingly, it was back to normal. The issue returns when switching to the latest version.
Would be very happy if someone could help out 🙂
What audio system do you use?
I use a Logitech G633 headset or integrated laptop speakers
And it doesn’t work on both?
It does not on the latest version, but as said, on 1.9 everything is just fine
Try switching to DX9, sorry I responded so late something got in-between
how do i fix this? ive tried validating my files
How does it occur?
And then it crashes?
yeah, then that message shows up
It says you are missing a file, did you delete anything recently?
nope
Is this the first time it has ever happened?
it is, yes
When’s the last time you played?
i think a couple months ago
Aha I think the update failed
Try reinstalling, delete all files of hoi4 aswell. Btw you can’t get into launcher at all. Right?
yeah, itll show that its loading, and itll just show the error message
ill try re-installing it
Lmk, or any other online helper if it’s still broken
it still is actually
Same error?
yes, error 126
Well tbh I don’t know what to do, normally reinstalling works with error 126
I am going to see if someone else is available
🙂 check pins
Either try clearing the user directory for the launcher/game
Oooor
Get a modded launcher
which pin?
Ones related to the options I just mentioned
I would uninstall Paradox Launcher V2 then relaunch to solve this, but let’s see if the mentioned ones work
how do i uninstall paradox launcher V2
Go to command center
Applications
Uninstall application
Scroll to Paradox Launcher V2
Uninstall
Try to launch
Opps, programmes not application
Alright, have fun playing
thanks
need some help getting old world blues to work.
What precisely is the issue?
Ok but what is the issue? What does not work?
its updated so make sure you haven't reverted
Updated version.
What is the actual issue, what doesn't work
ie does it crash when launching
No, it just takes me to the base home screen of hoi4.
did you turn it on?
Yes.
double check you did
What do i do when i try to play multiplayer with my mate and it says user on a different version but when i check my version we are both up to date and have no beta on, no different mods, no different dlcs what do i do
Theres a bug with the launcher where it sometimes doesnt detect your mods or their descriptors, try:
-Unsubscribe (note down which for later)
-Open the launcher (let it load)
-Close the launcher
-Resubscribe
OR
Go to Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV and delete launcher-v2.sqlite
If you cannot seem to get achievements:
-Right click the game in your Steam library
-Open properties
-Verify file integrity
If you still have issues you can try deleting the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/ folder (keep the saves/mod folders in there if you made any of those that you want to keep)
My game constantly freezes, can't find anything in the pins that helps
Deleted and reinstalled, nothing is working
have you tried switching to DX9?
Yes
hmm what device do you use?
PC
does it meet the minimum requirements for HoI4?
Yeah, have 500 hours it just started doing this
any mods enabled?
Does this only happen on 1.12?
The loading screen stays stuck on "recalculating naval distances" for a bit
Have you manually cleared cache
Nope
Will try
@violet sluice Have you tried restarting your PC?
like try restarting your PC first if you havent done so yet
Its been doing this for a week
aha
Yeah so try clearing cache manually in file explorer cause it might be a map issue
Will try
@violet sluice so its has been doing this since this week?
Yeah
Only this week?
Did something with steam VR and ever since then its been glitchy
Wait, its working freshly again
try referting back to old settings if possible
HOI4 works now?
ah well nice
you had Vsync on or off>
What did you do, did it just do that randomly?
I restarted the game trying DX9 again (tried earlier didn't work) and yeah
found a bug, if you demilitarise a piece of land and another country takes in in an event, it will stay this
in this i invaded romania, demilitarised bessarabia and its staying that way after the soviets annexed it through the focus
