Endsieg isn't updated for 1.12

You would have to go back to I think 1.11 to play Endsieg

It might be 1.10

Yeah, because the folder is on OneDrive. It's not allowing you to do delete it because it is on OneDrive

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.

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.

honest granite
#

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.

surreal fiber
earnest quest
surreal fiber
#

Only the very last errors, and even then the error log is usually useless for crashes

earnest quest
#

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

surreal fiber
#

The home guard is the issue

earnest quest
#

Okay I see, what can I do to fix it? Delete the file and download again maybe?

earnest quest
#

i cant even find what the game is having issues with, i dont have RAJ.txt....

swift widget
#

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...

honest granite
#

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.

honest granite
#

I got a bit of time to look at it 🙂

cobalt agate
#

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

honest granite

#

11, but I have also tried OpenGL

#

tried it on fullscreen

#

I have 15min, if you want me to share screen

honest granite
#

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

# inland gull Still not there

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 😛 )

lilac token
# inland gull HELP

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

ancient orbit

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

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?

# royal niche idk what to do anymore

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.

#

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.

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

How to clear cache

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

And it worked. Thanks.

next fjord

Alright, no problem

pine berry
# pine berry

Just asking, for future reference, what even causes this?

next fjord
#

Have you ever used a tool called 'nudger'

pine berry
#

I have, but that was to observe the internal workings of it.

#

No modding purposes.

next fjord
#

Well did you use the nudger right before this issue showed up

surreal fiber
pine berry
#

I had.

surreal fiber
#

Maybe theres a bracket missing somewhere and that does something stupid like this?

#

Idk if thatd be this bad

pine berry
#

So it's common across all mods?

#

Because I've been on Road to 56 and never had issues like that

next fjord
#

What brackets, this is a localisation issue and that's OWB state names because it uses stuff like Gunderson Ranch

pine berry
#

It is OWB, but that issue transferred to other mods with map and state changes.

next fjord
#

Yes, because if you have game files inside Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV they apply no matter what

pine berry
#

Guessing that it's because of the IDs

next fjord
#

And override any mods you have on

pine berry
#

Fair enough.

#

Again, 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.

Here is a screenshot of the map (sorry for the low resolution).

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

surreal fiber
#

your checksum is different

#

Either your files need validation or your mod/game version are wrong

peak torrent
#

that's their checksum

worn sapphire
# peak torrent idk all is good

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

stark grail
#

any way to fix this or no?

worn sapphire
stark grail
#

in exacly the same day and hour

worn sapphire
#

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

my HOI4 game just refuses to work

for some reason

i go in

only this one

next fjord
#

To return to current version, click none

haughty cairn
#

okay apprecaite it

haughty cairn
next fjord
#

Well, that sucks I guess. Possibly due to mods that have updated to 1.12.8, to which there would be no fix

Oh, in that case bad luck I guess

okay

# sly gyro My HOI4 folder isn't in one drive and I DONT EVEN HAVE ONE DRIVE

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)

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

how do you check

i forgor

next fjord
#

Open task manager and go to the second tab

#

Expand details first if need be

full linden
#

cpu or gpu

next fjord
#

Both

full linden
#

my cpu is

#

intel(r) core(tm) i5-2520m cpu @ 2.50ghz

#

my gpu is NVIDIA NVS 4200M

next fjord
#

Your system is ancient

#

Those are both at least 10 years old

full linden
#

then how th does my computer still run warthunder and detailed web games???

atomic glen
#

i fixed the issue

full linden
#

but not hoi4 with lower graphics 🗿

next fjord
#

Web games are some of the least intensive games in existence

full linden
#

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

next fjord
#

I just checked and your CPU has two cores and the recommended HOI4 CPU has 4 cores

next fjord
#

In-fact I just checked and the minimum has 4 cores

full linden
next fjord
#

Yeah 2 cores 4 threads should run it but, again, it’s only about minimum

full linden
#

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

next fjord
#

i5-750

full linden
#

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

next fjord
#

Imperator has even lower specs

#

The minimum is a i3-550

#

Which is almost identical to yours

i removed the role that notifies me of when mps are being hosted and im still getting notified

and they refuse to answer me

#

@worn sapphire

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

sly gyro
#

kk

worn sapphire
#

btw did you check your antivirus? if it allows hoi4?

sly gyro
#

it does

#

also i downloaded hoi4 from steam so i doubt there is any virus

worn sapphire
#

do you use windows security?

sly gyro
#

i think so

worn sapphire
#

then check also the ransomware protection if it is on. and if it is then hoi4 must be allowed

sly gyro
#

its on and hoi4 is allowed

worn sapphire
#

try to turn it of. and try the game if it runs

worn sapphire

use this method only as last resort
