I just saw this
v
Hearts of Iron 4 refuses to load. I have tried many things (reinstalling, dropping firewall) but nothing works. More specifically, it gets stuck on loading GUI. It loads a little, then doesn't load anymore. This started happening right after a Windows 10 update, so I'm thinking it has something to do with that.
Maybe it helps
i have issue my game is too dark
i tried restarting setting and game and verifying files nothing worked
try to change from DX11 to DX9 on the launcher
It didn't work
it worked thx man
hello i have an issue, i just got the achievement for the red sea but it did not show up on steam
and now that its completed i have no idea how to re-get it so that the steam achievement unlocks
and this is in my game
why is it not available
this is the same save where i got the achievement btw
Before i got the achievement all the achievements were blank
If that info helps
rate out of 10
Pls help :c
with?
I- we posted that at the same time
Was doing that in response to my previous post
Sorry
ois ok
Just use Steam Achievement Manager
Oh alright
Though is there a fix for the in game bug where the achievement shows up as not available?
I don’t think so
what to do if the game crashes with the mod I tried everything
What mod is it
I have a powerful computer
Endsieg isn't updated for 1.12
You would have to go back to I think 1.11 to play Endsieg
Although I'm not sure about that
It might be 1.10
and how to return to 1.11?
This video
What if I've got Stim?
Oh yeah for 1.11 you can just skip that step

I have a ryzen 53600x and rtx 2070Super my game drops fps to 20 after 1940
Is there anything i can do to get more fps ?

FPS drops when zoomed out

It worked
Oh, epic
Hello I try to remove mod file because its broken but it doesnt let me to do so, can anyone help me?
It's because your Documents folder is on cloud storage
Yeah, OneDrive
I tried and it says this
Yeah, because the folder is on OneDrive. It's not allowing you to do delete it because it is on OneDrive
At least that's what I'm getting from the translation I'm using
And how can I do it?
So you could either move Documents off of OneDrive, and I don't know how to deal with it otherwise. You'll have to move Documents off OneDrive
How to?
I just drag folder?
If you use OneDrive to back up your data to the cloud or to sync with your other computers, you might have noticed that rather than using the default Windows folder locations under C:\users\username, OneDrive will create its own folder under your user folder. You might also notice that things like your Desktop folder is missing under your user p...

I cant find that on my PC
Find what?
On your PC it is in Spanish
Heyy, I need some help. I cant play in fullscreen or windowed. Only borderless. I've tried it with the launcher or ingame, but it just stays borderless. If I turn it on fullscreen it will minimize the game, if I click on my other monitor and windowed is the exact same as borderless.
you might need to use steam setting to launch it in windowed, when you right click the game in your library, then go to properties, in that window in the 'launch options' tab write –windowed
should launch it in windowed mode
Hi does anybody know what causes this issue and is it possible to fix it? Playing in 41 on Road to 56, and at specific date and time, game crashes every time.
That error doesnt crash the game at all afaik, it must be something else
What should i be looking for in that report? Thanks
Only the very last errors, and even then the error log is usually useless for crashes
Is there anything else I can use to see what’s the problem?
I reinstalled the mod, verified the game, cleared cache, and what it did is crashed the game 4 days later
"[01:28:48][persistent.cpp:48]: Error: "Malformed token: Pjesadijska divizija, near line: 8" in file: "history/units/MCD_home_guard.txt" near line: 8"
thats the last line
"[19:12:47][trigger.cpp:394]: common/dynamic_modifiers/RAJ.txt:124: is_owned_by: Invalid Scope, supported: State, provided: Country" thats the last line before i did everything i mentioned above
The home guard is the issue
Okay I see, what can I do to fix it? Delete the file and download again maybe?
i cant even find what the game is having issues with, i dont have RAJ.txt....
oh for god's sakes.... THEY STILL AIN'T FIXED IT
it's been like a year since i reported this bug
and the bug report was closed cuz "we're already aware of it" but obviously not!
problem, for anyone who can't tell: the 'use auto best' selection for the DIVISION TEMPLATE model choice, just doesn't work quite right for tank divisions - it'll just use the default tank model for that year, INSTEAD of using the actual tank design's model (as specified in the tank designer)
like come on!
where would i go to report this to someone who actually gives a crap? cuz the forums clearly are not interested...
nothing
You could also check your Nvidia settings, it might be forcing it to launch in that mode, and not allowing the other ways due to it
That's all i have off the top of my head at the moment, though
@honest granite Add Turkish language support to the game now, many players are waiting for this.
mind sending me a screenshot of your in game settings, here?
I got a bit of time to look at it 🙂
nice thx
If I tap out while turned on to fullscreen, the game will minimize; if I do it on windowed/borderless, it will stay opened
I also reinstalled both game and launcher
Hmm, are you running DX11 or DX9?
11, but I have also tried OpenGL
try running it on DX9 for me, real quick
sometimes Windows like to get all messy with DX11 with certain updates
It works with Civ6
doing it now, lemmi look
nopr
e
tried it on fullscreen
I have 15min, if you want me to share screen
hmm, mind filling out a bug report on the forum? it might be an issue client-side where the game refuses to actually utilize the fullscreen setting
I wish I could, but i am currently in a call of my own for something else
multitasking 😄
If you send me the link. I don't fully understand your forum website
thats understandable, let me grab it for you, real quick
this should be the link, my guy
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-bug-reports.951/
I opened the game, it was like this, how do I fix it, I'm playing from steam (color)
Please help me

If you are having crashes or graphical issues after the release of 1.12 Avalanche, it is most likely due to DX11.
To switch to DX9, open the launcher.
Go to game settings.
Click DX9.
If that does not work, try using OpenGL.
Switch to dx9
could somebody send me this file: MCD_home_guard.txt ?
Thanks but that didn't resolve

FYI @ancient orbit this is because macOS does not support DirectX, OpenGL is the only option so it can't be changed on the macOS launcher. See https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/new-directx11-renderer-and-how-to-revert-to-dx9-if-you-have-issues.1544941/#post-28502818 where Paradox staff mentioned this (kind of glibly, in my opinion 😛 )
Good evening everyone!
As mentioned in the previous dev diary, with the Avalanche update the default renderer in now DirectX11.
If you were using DirectX9 previously, the launcher will perform a one-time upgrade to DirectX11 the first time you...
I don't know for sure that this will help but something worth trying: In steam, right click HOI 4, click properties->set launch options, type -opengl, press ok
I forgot macOS was a thing hehe
Did it fix the issue?
not yet
Do you mean that it's still installing?
yes
OK - I wish you luck. I spent the better part of yesterday and this morning getting the dang Paradox Launcher to install on my new PC. What a nightmare.
thanks
anyone knows what i should do if when i open the game it crashes? No mods, i just downloaded it today
Hey, welcome. Check the pins in this channel for common sources of issues. Check out the Missing Files Needed To Run section of this post #tech-support message, specifically but we'll need more info to help.
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
For instance, do you also happen to be on macOS like the person who was posting a similar issue just above you?
I reset my pc and reinstalled the game. Its still in borderless.
Hey can someone help me
Im having issues with paradox launcher and installing it
Whenever I try to instal it or repair it, the launcher prematurly ends
idk what to do anymore
No idea on my end, unfortunately, I don't think its your settings that refuse to allow the setting change, though it could very well be one of a million different things on either the game OR the graphics drivers settings.
It could also be tied to V-sync if you haven't tried toggling that
It works now thanks, and what is the limit year that you can reach?
Things I had to do, but not sure which fixed it: make sure you list the whole Hoi folder in steamapps/common in your anti-virus exception list. Make sure your My Documents folder is a local my documents folder and not on OneDrive. Make sure you have the latest C++ distributables for both x86 and x64. Update graphics card drivers (doubt this matters). Launch steam as administrator.
Try manually uninstalling the launcher and then launching any pdx game again
If you aren't able to successfully uninstall the launcher when you try, make sure there isn't a Paradox Launcher process open - use task manager and end task.
I use avg and added exceptions to both the virus scan AND the ransom ware protection. The latter is not obvious to find.
It didnt work
Game is still stuck
Hmm sorry. It didn't look too promising. Most of what I saw about Mac users is that they run it in wine. I don't know what that means though, besides that it is a windows emulator.
Sorry I'm not more help
darn it
Thanks so much though
Are you using mac?
Dang it
I have no clue how to do most of this stuff
through add or remove because whenever i try it doesnt work
I had this same problem when I still had a process of paradox launcher running. Do you know how to use Task Manager (ctrl+alt+delete) to check open processes?
yes should i search for any paradox and close them?
Yes and then try uninstall. Still issues?
yeah ill try that
ok so there are no paradox processes open
OK there was a Microsoft tool that helped with uninstall but I am AFK for a bit. I will link when I can
ok thanks

and hitler's face is censured
its this a new version or i installed a mod accidentaly?
i think those videos are just old
then, this is a normal version?
yeah, it's normal
why they censored hitler 💀
it's current version of the game
i don't know, maybe u live in Germany
no, i'm from Spain
Then i don't know
In the normal version Adolf is uncensored?
because in the videos i saw he and his moustache
Yes
💀 i cant see his Hot moustache xd
oh i think u need to turn on dlc historical german portraits
Cuz when it's off i also don't see his face
how i do that
In the laucher -> dlc
There's slider on the right
i cant click it, i only can apply all dlc at once i cant select one only idk why
i entered with all dlc and Hitler is here
k good
but with all dlc the gameplay change? or it only add somethings?
ok thanks
what makes in multiplayer there is an agent mode and in single player there is no agent mode and maps
spy agency? it is a DLC feature, so in MP if the host has that dlc you, as a player, will be able to use it
in the sense of?
you dont have the SPY DLC. its that simple.
the spies and agents stuff is La Resistance DLC. When you play multiplayer and the person who create the game has that DLC you in the game will be able to use the same DLC even if you don't have it. In single player you will not have the spies because you don't have the DLC
Can you give me a link to this dlc?

My game is in the dark, although I increase the gamma, the gamma of my game does not increase, I tried to delete and upload
wrong channel for this
is there any way to play older mods without having to redownload older versions
No
?
?
this error my screen stops loading
Hi, I tried to avoid looking for help but im at a loss of what to do. I Tried downloading the Millennium Dawn Mod a while ago and it just makes the game crash over and over again, and idk how to fix it or if i even got the right thing, any assistance would be appreciated, thank you.
I think it's been broken since 1.12.8 or whatever but don't call me on it*
May just need to be updated*
Guys i got a problem with hoi4. I was playing with anarchist spain till my game crashed. When i rejoined the bottom bar disappeared and i couldn't move the troops. Anyone know how to solve this?
See? No bottom bar
try to close the game and reload it
Clear your cache
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.
is it on Mac?
Is OWB state names appearing part of Mac?
No. I'm on Windows.
And it worked. Thanks.
Alright, no problem
Just asking, for future reference, what even causes this?
Have you ever used a tool called 'nudger'
Well did you use the nudger right before this issue showed up
Ive heard people complain on my mod that loc is all messed up like here
I had.
Maybe theres a bracket missing somewhere and that does something stupid like this?
Idk if thatd be this bad
So it's common across all mods?
Because I've been on Road to 56 and never had issues like that
What brackets, this is a localisation issue and that's OWB state names because it uses stuff like Gunderson Ranch
It is OWB, but that issue transferred to other mods with map and state changes.
Yes, because if you have game files inside Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV they apply no matter what
Guessing that it's because of the IDs
And override any mods you have on
Hey so I plan to try and start hosting games, but I want to test it having to get alts or friends first, is there a good way of testing mp hosting without actually doing it first?
Nothing happens when you click on the buttons to change it?
Have you restarted the game yet
yes i have
i even went into the settings.txt file and changed it from there
not working
Does it really matter in the end
I don't think that's how multisampling is meant to work
Open the launcher and see what it shows in Game Settings
it doesnt say anything about multisample in the settings
What does it say for display mode and resolution
Try switching it to fullscreen
Also you have a 1080p monitor right, not anything different?
But what
idk
its default and it started when i changed it like
2 weeks ago
idk why i changed the multisample level
lemme try changing the display
It's probably 1080p, alright how about trying borderless fullscreen
Well, after this last thing I wouldn't be sure what would fix it
On the game settings menu, scroll down and clear user directory
?
or launcher settings
The launcher settings, they're called game settings
Just restart Steam or your computer and it should fix tiself
already tried restarting computer
how does one manually restart steam again?
Click on the upwards arrow on the bottom right
Then right click on the Steam icon there
And click exit
alright
managed to get it off of being stuck on stopping
But It's still not launching the game yet it seems
it won't load the launcher at all
anyone have any ideas what the issue could be?
have you tried to verify the game files?
if that doesn't solve it then you could uninstalling it and re-installing it
can't install
where are you installing it from?
No idea what that means honestly
I tried unistalling and reinstalling, still not working. Though now when I try to launch hoi4, it'll run for a moment and then just stop running. Launcher still no work.
@surreal fiber help plz💀
@next fjord any idea
No
Actually are you on a 32-bit system?
That seems to be what the error is describing
But checking the DM shows you're on 64-bit
Peculiar, then
No idea, vague error
Check Dms
So should i install 64-bit window 11?
Cuz
I just reset my comp
Win10?
Win11
What are you on rn I mean
Latest version of win11
So youre asking if you should reinstall, shouldnt be needed
then what should i do
Already done that few times
What have you tried so far?
everything.......
Er, what is everything?
verify the file
change the launcer location
getting to the old version
delete the mode
deleting the game
clearing the cache
change the driver
Wow, you really have tried everything

Hold on can you specify what change the driver means?
i havent been able to play for 2 weeks :/
Are you talking about stuff like DX9, DX11
directx 9
yes
Alright, yeah I have no clue what could do causing this since you genuinely have tried every common fix
Sadge
Hold on did you try OpenGL
Can anyone help me
Ah, I had that issue a few weeks back
Unfortunately, it seemed like the only solution was to start a new save
You could try going back to an older savefile
Although in my case even that didn't work
@ancient orbit didnt need to fixed it myself
got a decent upgrade
from a 8gb to 14 gb
*16 gb ram
im back
time to play hoi4
i added a new ram stick
cmos resetted
ic ic
thanks none the less
i got my computer back so thats good
does anyone know how to move files from onedrive to another drive
the move button thing shows up gray for me
How do I unsubscribe?
Go on to your steam acc page than "Manage subscriptions" and than click cancel
Bro what do if I can't see the agency bookmark?
Do you have the La Resistance dlc?
No step back don't have agency it just adds I don't remember but supply and sum else

guys i got a problem, i was doing a great game when suddenly the game crashed, i thought it would stop there and that the game would run as before after opening it again, but it didn't work: the game isn't running anymore. i joing the game and after few in game days it crashes i tried cdeleting the cashe downloading newer drivers and load olden saves but nothing is working, do i need to reinstall the game?
what windows are hoi4 available on?
Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11
Yeah i've been having this issue for about a week, does anyone know how to fix this so i can play with mods?
I am trying to play with my friends but am having a version mismatch, i have avalanche 1.12.8.fc54 (9d51) while they all are playing Avalanche v1.12.8.fc54 (b944) can someone help me fix it?
hey someone know how to fix launcher ended prematurely?
i was using kaiserredux, pressefd focus guide, and it crashed
- The selection boxes cover text when UI scaling to "1.1".
My Launcher Launched, but it still didn't let me play the game
So I closed it, and now I can't get into the launcher again
Still for some reason not letting me stop it in steam either unless I fully restart steam, this issue is getting really frustrating
Uninstalling and reinstalling no work, anyone able to help?
Try deleting the launcher by deleting it in settings. Since its not considered "part" of the game it doesn't do much when you verify or reinstall the game. After you've deleted it try launching the game again and it should install the launcher again
for some reason france, uk and usa get a random war goal and declare war on germany without any focuses
historical ai on, no mods
tried that already
You deleted the launcher in settings?
What else have you tried?
uh, restarting my computer, not much else I know to try really
Ok. And which platform are you on?
You mean like steam?
If so then that
Yea. Have you validated your games files?
Oh yeah, I did that aswell
Also didn't do anything
hoi4 is just randomly crashing for no reason, im not sure if its the mod i have (road to 56) or if its the game
i know im not tech support but i encountered the problem ons team so i backed up files, deleted the game and then deleted the files. it dos remove your save games ect but i then redownloaded it and it was fine. i would not go off my word though as im not guaranteeing it will work
hoi 4 seems to only crash once i unpause the game, then it might last a sec or 2 then crash
ive restarted my pc, ive validated game files
not sure what else i can try
ive even changed version but it didnt help at all
and it doesnt matter what speed i go either
only my main save crashes when i play it, other saves are completely normal
Do you have an auto save of that game?
I’ve had an issue where the game crashed and it forced me into spectator but o could load an autosave of 2 months before or so
I could load it with Ironman on as well
No other saves from a months before?
no, it gets auto deleted since its ironman mode
is there a save of it in game files that i can replay?
I’m not a tech expert so maybe ask a tech supporter when they get online
Worth a shot

with?
I mean I won't really know whats up, @surreal fiber could you help?
I dont use the Paradox launcher because its so buggy, no clue
oh ok thanks
Hello, everyone. I have had a problem for my last few playthroughs that has hindering quite a lot the game velocity. My map does not show colors. The map is completely black. My computer doesn’t have very high specs, but it is enough to run the game somewhat smoothly. Does anybody know what I can do?
Here is a screenshot of the map (sorry for the low resolution).
Check pins
Ok, thank you.
Hey. So, the method that the pin had didn’t work. Should I reinstall the game? I’m not really fond of this type of “correction method”, but, should I try it?
``If you are having crashes or graphical issues after the release of 1.12 Avalanche, it is most likely due to DX11.
To switch to DX9, open the launcher.
Go to game settings.
Click DX9.
If that does not work, try using OpenGL.
Leave a message if issues persist.
``
It worked. Thank you very much.
i dont know why but always after some time of playing kaiserredux the game crashes can someone tell me why
my game doesn't want to launch
uninstalling and reinstalling isn't working, neither is validating the files
fourth time crashed i played as omsk and it just keeps happening
can i not cross-play with my friend on steam? i'm on xbox gamepass btw
Hello Guys, I need some serious help with Multiplayer. I can't join the game despite having the correct version, mods, and everything, even after reinstall of the game.
does anyone know what is happening?
No one plays on 1.12.8 too
and yet, there are 1.12.8 games.
@surreal fiber
your checksum is different
Either your files need validation or your mod/game version are wrong
idk all is good
that's their checksum
you probably installed previously a mod that modified the game files, and after removing the mod the files remained modified.
You can try to delete the hoi4 folder under documents (do a backup of your save file folder first). And then relaunch the game.
If it doesn't work you will have to do a full reinstall of the game: #tech-support message
thank you very much
any way to fix this or no?
hard to say, no idea what caused it. that is only a crash report
i played as omsk in tno mod and it just kept crashing
in exacly the same day and hour
then it could be a problem with the mod. Try to see if without mod you have crashes. If you don't then it is definitely the mod
and if it is the mod there is nothing we can do to help, you can try to contact the mod creators and ask them if there are solutions
bro why does it say this i dont even have onedrive linked to my pc
i just wanna play hoi4 man
ye it's the mod
What i need do if i have slowdown in multiplayer i have fast enternet & good pc (amd ryzen 7 2700 x gtx 1660 super 16gb ram average enternet speed 70 kb/s
move the hoi4 folder from onedrive to somewhere else
70 kilobytes a second?
That is… egregiously low
Have you tried uninstalling Paradox Launcher V2
Not yet
bro even i have like 1 mb per second
do explain how you do that ?
i have bad internet
I wasn’t talking to you for the uninstalling message
Sorry i miseed kb&mb sorry
Go to Control Panel
Programmes
Uninstall programme
Scroll to Paradox Launcher V2
Uninstall
Try to launch
oh k
I thought so, well it might just have to depend on where you live
What country are you in?
can i go into dm's as to not get overwelmed ?
maybe host has bad internet
Sure I’ll DM the instructions to you
No we tried to change host it's not help
idk then
Ok i will try delete launcher
Russia (no political pls)
I wasn’t going to
Huh. So all in Russia, usually in the same country connection should be fine
Hold on so when you have slowdown, what speed do you have that on
I didn't check
If it’s on 5 speed that’s fairly normal
Ok first i will try launcher
No sometimes we can't play even 3 speed
I see. I don’t think I know any common fixes for that, since it seems your PC is fairly capable, and is it safe to assume your friends have similar PCs?
Yes
Well frankly I’m stumped as to a fix for this
But anyway thanks,for the help
My HOI4 folder isn't in one drive and
I DONT EVEN HAVE ONE DRIVE

3 ish weeks
i haven't played that much so im in 1944
1.12.8 released a few days ago and probably broke that save
Want to play an older version of your favourite Paradox title? Say no more! In this short, we show you how!#heartsofiron4 #crusaderkings3 #victoria3 Get a co...
backdate?
Follow that video and use the one called 1.12.7
Actually no that video sucks I'll get my own instruction list
okay
Right click on HOI4 in Steam
Properties
Betas
Rollback to 1.12.7
okay
the one that says 1.12.7 avalanche
Yeah that one
okpay
how can i go back to 1.12.8
say if i wanna play a save game that i made on 1.12.8
To return to current version, click none
okay apprecaite it
it still crashed for some reason
Well, that sucks I guess. Possibly due to mods that have updated to 1.12.8, to which there would be no fix
i'm not playing the game with mods though?
Oh, in that case bad luck I guess
okay
or maybe i should just skip launcher when i launch it with steam?
Er, you can try that although I doubt that would do anything
okay
first of all keep calm.
your HOI4 folder under documents is under OneDrive. The path is literally written in the screenshot you posted and it is normal, even if it is not the cloud Windows documents are automatically stored in a OneDrive folder ready to be mirrored on the cloud even if you don't have it active.
Now to fix your problem follow those steps:
Common Document Issues
One problem may be your One Drive. If you have One Drive enabled, your files may be going to the Cloud service, in which the game cannot read those documents. To make sure that your files aren't going to the cloud, either turn off One Drive itself, or turn off the Sync function for the folders that you do not wish to be uploaded to the Cloud.
Another issue is the game not being able to read its own documents that it has made, the simple fix for that is to give Hearts of Iron Admin Privileges.
A third issue can be your documents being found as a virus.(This is most common with Avast) To fix this, you can either whitelist the program and files associated with Hearts of Iron within your antivirus, or disable it entirely (or change antivirus entirely which is recommended by some)
is that good?
Download is good, upload is bad
verify the integrity of game files in properties -> local files if you didnt do that yet
and turn off all mods if it wont help
i have a good laptop capable of running warthunder
but when i try running hoi4 with no dlc and no mods
my computer starts a fire bigger than the white house fire in the 1800s
What are the specs of your laptop
cpu or gpu
Both
then how th does my computer still run warthunder and detailed web games???
i fixed the issue
but not hoi4 with lower graphics 🗿
Web games are some of the least intensive games in existence
also if you're wondering
my computer can run hoi4 semi-fine on lower speeds with mods and graphics enhancers, sometimes MP
but it just randomly lags out and then crashes after a while
I just checked and your CPU has two cores and the recommended HOI4 CPU has 4 cores
💀
In-fact I just checked and the minimum has 4 cores
screenshot of my cpu if you wanna know
Yeah 2 cores 4 threads should run it but, again, it’s only about minimum
It can run Hoi4 (sorta) but it randomly crashes after a while of playing
what is the suggested minimum cpu?
oh wait
i can just check nvm
i5-750
btw i can run imperator: rome for hours on end with unedited graphics with acceptable amounts of lag
so idk what's the deal with hoi4
Imperator has even lower specs
The minimum is a i3-550
Which is almost identical to yours
5 months ago i was running hoi4 whit 4 cores and intel hd graphics
100 vram
mb
u can run this game on a calculator
can windows 8.1 run hoi4
i removed the role that notifies me of when mps are being hosted and im still getting notified
it says you still have it
try removing your reaction again, and if that doesn't work the only thing I can say is to make a ticket and ask the mods if they can manually remove it
I've gone ahead and removed them for you
🙂
ah ok thank you
Sometimes Discord API gets a bit laggy and doesn't register role assignment or removing of them
it happens
anyways, you should be good to go, have a great day 🙂
I literally pressed on "browse local files" its not i one drive
He's talking about user directory, and not the game files
the game is installed under steamapps but it always has another folder under documents where temporary files are stored (savegames, mods, etc.) . Your problem is the document hoi4 folder not the one under steamapps
how do i do that (yes ive googled)
how do i move it
just try to give hoi4 admin privileges
yes ive tried but the button isnt there for me
i tried asking microsoft support
but their support thing aint working
and they refuse to answer me
@worn sapphire
pinned there is a way to force the game to use another location for its hoi4 document folder. But since the introduction of the new launcher it doesn't work very well. You can try it, in the meantime I will try to ask if someone has a better solution
kk
btw did you check your antivirus? if it allows hoi4?
do you use windows security?
i think so
then check also the ransomware protection if it is on. and if it is then hoi4 must be allowed
its on and hoi4 is allowed
try to turn it of. and try the game if it runs
also i cant find the pinned thing
k
thank yoooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuu
Hey uh, I got the old air plane research and old plane designer whilst having all the dlc, anyone know this issue?
even in a brand new campaign?
I have a problem where my hoi4 keeps crashing non stop no matter the mod, RT56 crashes randomly in game, so does AOI Kaiserreich and Kaiserredux
help
I just play normally and it crashes randomly
Literally what it sais in the error
I deleted all Mods verified game files and deleted all files and reinstalled it
Would you have any other things that I could try or?
try clearing the documents/paradox interactive/hearts of iron iv folder
beware it glitches out mod installs if you remove /mod and clears saves
as said previously i did delete all of the files in there
👍
nothing comes to mind, you could check the pins and try that stuff
im deleting it again to see if it works
it didnt
Did you use the nudge tool?
why exactly does my game crash everytime i assign a navy commander
aside from not entering the game he is now making this mistake
what is happening to this game everyone is getting mistakes
Uninstall Paradox Launcher V2
Go to Control Panel
Programmes
Uninstall programme
Scroll to Paradox Launcher V2
Uninstall
Try to launch
:/
Huh. That's weird, someone had the exact same issue the other day and it worked
Try this instead I suppose
In the Paradox Launcher, click GAME SETTINGS on the left menu, and then scroll all the way down until you see the Game section at the bottom, and select the CLEAR USER DIRECTORY.
launcher does not open👉 👈
Oh yeah, I'm an idiot
Ok do it manually
- 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.
Well that's launching Paradox Launcher by itself, what happens when you just launch HOI4
Well, if those two solutions didn't work then I'm stumped
I guess paradox wont solve these problems
my game hasn t been turned on for weeks anyway
Why, when I enter mods that are not in the game version, does it Crash
like a few days ago maybe? idk but even when i delete all game files and uninstall and reinstall it still doesnt work
Do u know when deleting games from steam, steam doesnt fully uninstall the game????
i went into file explorer and manually deleted all the files, id love to fix the issue but i fail to see how that can be it
Local disk>Program files (x86)>Steam>steampps>common>Hearts of Iron IV (delete the hoi4 file)
@hybrid plinth
Now u can install the game and play with no problems
i have it in norwegian so idrk what all of the equivalents would be
oh found it
Did it worked @hybrid plinth
hey i can't install the paradox launcher for some reason.
No
I deleted all files
Paradox and steam
Uninstalled the game
Double checked I didn’t miss any files
I didn’t
Then installed and ran it
Didn’t work
Tried like two more times
I’m 100% sure the nudge thingy is gone
Hey, quick question. Anyone know how i can fix the flashing bug? At some point randomly during the game a white stripe starts flashing across my screen at certain zoom levels
Usually only during wars
how do you change to Avalanche v1.11.12.8(6244) ?
is there a reason that i can only get about 25 fps on max speed?
hey all, is it normal around 1942/43 at max speed(5 bar) the mouse scroll and zoom become not very smooth(still good but not smooth like first years)? CPU:i712700k GPU: RTX 3060
game still runs smooth i think, is just the mouse scroll and zoom a bit laggish...
i'm only using total war mod only
At this point i think it is your pc itself
That is normal.
ah ok
😭
It can’t be, any other game runs perfectly and I can do basically whatever, it’s just hoi, at it isn’t an issue of it lags, it’s an issue of it doesn’t want to open
Its the first time I see something like this, i have no damn idea what could be
Damn well thanks anyways
after the launcher beta updated, it won't properly launch hoi4. Steam says I'm playing, but the actual game doesn't show up. I've tried skipping the launcher through steam but it also doesn't work. should i try to revert from the beta launcher?
no wait ignore me i'm just being stupid with mods
D:
"game appears to have crashed or terminated" what I do?
My dlcs wont work idk why
my checksum also wont change for weeks at a time if i add or remove mods
my hoi4 wont launch and its stuck on preparing to launch for quite a while
can someone help
Hey, quick question. Anyone know how i can fix the flashing bug? At some point randomly during the game a white stripe starts flashing across my screen at certain zoom levels
Usually only during wars
how do I increase the gamma ? it won't let me do it in the options because my gamma in game is very low
Really, if you want help, give details, like, how do you expect people to know what is the problem when u only say the game has crashed without any other detail
bro can you please help at least
ill just copy and paste it again
my hoi4 wont launch and its stuck on preparing to launch for quite a while
can someone help
In the way u say it could be literally anything
What happened before
What did u do before it crashed
Is any mod activated
it never crashed thats the thing
i was playing old world blues, then i went offline for a bit
i came back
wanted to play hoi4
Its the cache
pressed play
alright
the only way i can launch the game is through big screen mode which sucks
okay thanks
i meant that this happens when i press play, the only way i can go into the launcher is through the game files
It is not hoi4 problem
ok
Try to launch other Steam game
other steam games work fine
i tried restarting, reinstalling
integrity of game files
I know it may sounds dumb but sometimes work, did u tried restarting your pc
yes
restarting steam as well
like with task manager
the only last thing i can think of is reinstalling steam
I mean restarting your ñc
Dont try that yet
ñc is??

Do you have any mods enabled

Ive not heard of this issue from anyone else
either you dont have the required free DLC or are using a buggy renderer

hello, 1 day before i buyed subscription for hearts of iron 4 to have all dlcs. when i am starting the game everything fine but when i am in the game the dlcs just dont working. can someone help me? ( i reinstalled the game and turn on all the dlcs )
Hi, i keep getting this error whenever i try to play with mods...
What mods are they
rt56, cold war iron curtain and basically any mod which has a different focus tree/content.
I see. I know for a fact RT56 is up to date. Have you tried any fixes so far?
well i tried to clear user directory but that failed as well
should i try resubscribing to the mods?
Try clearing your cache instead
- 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.

hi everyone and please help
What do you need help with
All versions except 1.10.8 do not work for me
Do you have any mods enabled
no
Hmm so yeah that issue is kinda off. I can’t think off the top of my head any reasons only a singular specific version would work
Anyways, try this
Hopefully it works
ok

Good evening, I have a loss of fps for no reason while I have a very good pc, I removed all the mods, I put a graphic mod to not lag, I uninstalled the game delete, the files
I have a RTX3070 I712700K 16G RAM 1T SSD
Yeah, that happens
I have the same stats on my pc except I run it on a RTX 3060
As long as your the in game timer does not lag
You should be fine
Yes but I lose too much fps, no solution?
Maybe try reducing your game's speed or pausing your game when you're interacting with the interface
Do you play like this?
I just got used to the low fps
