thx
anyone?
I have HOI4 on PC and Mac and I can't open my pc files on my Mac. All the files are on my steam cloud and I have the same account on both devices. Can anyone help?
do you have a paradox account?
No, I only have a steam account
you should make one and link it to your steam account by logging in into the launcher then when you want to save it select Cloud Save not local
Thanks!
we constantly get " y_28 (country_modifiers)" desync in our mod when playing multiplayer
i couldnt find this error code in troubleshouting how can i find what causes this error
How do I unsubcribe
should see this in the mod menu
click it and it should look like this
ofc, with the mod you wanna unsub
i mean like that 5 dollar subscription thing or do I do it the same way
It's alright I'll try my best to find a way

Ask Steam Support
Okay
hi, my Game crash after 'Peace Conference over, Calculating Effects...'
happens to me too, try reboot the game and load the closest save
it happens all the time ://
keep getting this error and dont know how to fix it, tried to check files and redownload
hi im trying to install some mods to spice up gameplay but no matter what i do it is always stuck on this
either that or its switches between that, starting download, and stopping download
Anyone know what this mean?
A launcher update has failed. the action failed beacuse we could not fetch metadata about this resource. This means our servers are having hiccups or your internet connection is not stable enough. ?
Nvm turns out I wasn’t at war with them
my game freezes in "loading gui", help how fix
Have you verified the integrity of your files
yes
DirectX https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 Try downloading this
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.
it still is not working, where i need to extract filess to
@dense crypt
Since none of them work I don't know what to recommend you
Perhaps restart your PC
Since you've downloaded DirectX
i extracted files to random folder
do i need to install it in specific folder
Don't think so
Help, this always appears when I try to play an Version under 1.8
"An Error occured while updating hoi4 (missing programfile)
Oh didn't see this channel
Hello guys, I have some big mp problem, which I didn't have before. I join someone's game and for some reason I am having over 1k ping, which makes my game completely unplayable
How do I fix it?
I need support, how to change launcher version to 1.10??
@lone perch This video I am replying to
thats on steam I don't have hoi4 on steam
Oh, you can’t
help
I play the game via steam and this happens everytime I try to lanuch it
Have you tried uninstalling the launcher
I did and this happend
how to check?
Open file explorer and click on OneDrive. See if it has a folder called Documents
Well, it's actually a good thing it isn't on there because it often causes breakages
Although I'm not sure what the issue would be then
I just created a folder named documents and the game worked now
thanks for ur help!!
Any tips on stopping the game from slowing down to a crawl in later years or am i just screwed
Okay ive answered my own qestion
Dont leave the game running for six hours
Restarting it speeds things up
any explanation?
What's your internet speed, and what country are you in
I am in Bulgaria
Well that speed seems fine and the location doesn't seem horrible. Is this the only application you notice has really bad ping>?
Yes, hoi4 is the only game I have such problems. Yesterday whilst playing a mp game with friends I even had 6k ping, it made my experience completely unplayable
I suppose I can only redirect you to more official people

Thank you
I made a ticket
I'll ask again as disabling weather did not remove the yellow glow over africa (no I don't mean the "sun reflection")
Is there any way to remove or disable the yellow glow/filter when over africa?
yo, I want to play "The Road to 56" with my friend but even though we have the same mods and dlcs installed we have different versions, any idea why?
I am having BIG problems launchin Hoi4 it always crashes ive deleted many useless files i got lots of space BUT IT KEEPS CRASHING any idea how? i aint able to do a screen shot but i can get into call and show the problem
if after this the game still crashes then it means the game is not the problem, but there is something else
COULD BE A SAND STORM
SORRY MY CAPS IS BROKEN
On my account online I see that I bought HOI4 ( which I did) but when I go to the launcher it says I don't have it.
contact steam support
got it
How do I change a single unit's fuel capacity without changing the defines? Just adding a 'fuel capacity = X' causes the first helmet in a division to add x/2, and then has no effect on subsequent ones.
How can I remove building models in the political map?
If you bought it off Steam you don't manually launch the launcher, you just launch the game through Steam
thanks for the tip
Go to settings and turn 3D buildings off
It is a matter that does not concern the setting. The setting only reduces volume of the models and does not completely eliminate it.
You should be able to remove all 3d buildings and units in settings. It’s like in the bottom half
3D Buildings and 3D Units are different setting
Yes they are
I’ll check on my own once I’m able to get on my pc
yo helpp me out. everytime i launch the game, it always stuck on the loading screen (specifically in "loading gui"). any solutions regarding this issue?
Have you tried anything called along the lines of 'switching renderer'
i believe no. mind telling me of it?
actually, i did. i switched it to opengl, still the same
Oh, that's not good. OpenGL is the super-compatible one. Do you know what GPU you have?
hold on, cant remember the name
bruh sorry. was lost for a moment. its nvidia geforce gtx 1660
i had no problem running the game like a week ago. does this has something to do with workshop content?
Oh, I have heard that architecture has issues with DX11 but DX9 should have worked. Have you tried clearing the cache/clearing the user directory
havent tried, but i will. thanks
Do you know how to
remind me
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.
Which I actually do it manually but that's the official way to do it
alright
ok i clicked the buttons. thats it?
the confirmation thingy popped up, clicked the green button, then done?
k i will try to launch the game
oh lord it effed
i can still type here, by now my cursor is gone. this game is killing me
righty i will resume this later. thanks anyway
and check pinned now
scroll down a bit
so just reinstall the launcher
Already happened
from panel
but i was working last week
tried the link thats in the pins?
i dont know what happend
you have made no changes?
i think no
otherwise you can try verifying file integrity
you can also see in pins how to do so
so what now
still not working
lool
Anyone know why when I try and launch the game I get the paradox crash report? I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, verified it, restarted my pc, changed settings in launcher, etc.
^fixed
Hi, can I have your games translated into a language I understand at a native level? (Ukrainian)
This is not the best place to suggest/recommend additions to the game. Better provide it here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-suggestions.953/
@dense crypt you are my god
help i have some problem with game
idkn how but when i start game
then built factories and after getting rest
i start time on level 5
then i loss a lot of fps
that's pretty normal, the game is running as fast as your computer can possibly go with level 5 speed

there are mods to increase the fps and performance of the game if u wanna use them
e.g: soo optimized mod
me and my friend are trying to play multiplayer but we either join or get timed out but cant play as we don't load or time doesn't work properly is this a normal issue or an issue on one of our ends

When I play multiplayer with other people the time always gets stuck at 13:00 1. January 1936 for the player not hosting, but the hosts time works fine. Is there a way to fix that?
Never mind works now for some reason.
how can I change version of hoi4?
properties -> betas
ill upload a video if it helps but basically, almost my entire army is stuck in a single tile, cant move anywhere. it just jiggles back and forth and the arrow showing where its going will get to like 99% and nothing happens. friendly nation, access through all nearby nations, nation theyre in is on my side in a war (why im triyng to urgently get them somewhere)
only other thing i found was one post on reddit where the guys troops are also stuck in this same region
kind of desperate for help because ive put 10 hrs into this playthrough over the past few days and if i cant move these troops its ruined
-tried restarting, tried manually changing their path
I don't think divisions can move if they don't have org
so try fixing supply
or delete some of them
tried that, theyve got more than enough supply to move, and their organization resets every time they jiggle. not just my troops either, theres AI troops doing it too
ill send a video, just a second
then I have no clue, you're playing kaiserrich right?
nvm then
@surreal fiber maybe you can help?
submit a bug report on the forums too
🤦 tried to make an account on the forum and after logging in it asks for a username and the page hangs
i am not having a good evening lol
log into my account i mean
my descent into madness is complete
okay, got it. ill just be waiting for now
thanks for trying @mellow shoal
I mean I didn't do much at all, I'm sorry I couldn't do much
it was just nice of you
I'm not that much of a tech guy anyways
can you help me with this error every time when i launch game this error come i reinstall the game delete all mods delete game cache i dont know what need to do please help me

Have you switched renderer
Happy to help, thank you for the report ❤️
🖤 😘 i need to say thanks not you !
yes it doesnt work
Including OpenGL?
No
its doesnt work
I was just about to reinstall Windows, maybe it will help? XD
Clear user directory and verify file integrity
He already did that
Well, quite possibly it might. Before that though, have you updated your drivers?
Yes, I updated everything, just the problem is that I played yesterday and the game started quietly for me, but at one moment it began to give an error and after that I tried to fix it by any means and it didn’t work, and now I’m turning to you
thank you so much for your support i'll just go reinstall windows because hoi 4 is my life xd
Yeah just remember to save important information first
how do i get achievements
it says game files were edited and stuff
i disabled all mods
and uninstalled and reinstalled hoi4
still not working
i also tried to rollback to 1.12.7
also didnt work
Try clearing 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.
career profile files?
wait theres something in history
im deleting that to see what happens
was a state file for some reason
Yeah that's the issue usually. Most people don't know what to look for so I just tell them a more over-arching solution
eh deleting the history file didnt work
so im just gonna go and delete the hoi4 folder
ok wheres the career profile folder
Did you link Steam? You need to to access some parts of the forum
For some reason ever time I boot up a game literally everyone goes communist
With historical
No focuses
Just 100% popularity
Instantly
(road to 56)
Check your modlist
I don't have any other mods on I only have rt56
Idk if it's a bug or it's just my mac
Cuz for some reason it never happens on my PC
Every time I play multiplayer and the host uses a saved game and not the standard 1936 one I can join but its always the standard map and I can't choose a country or click on ready. I tried several things such as restart the game and reinstall but it didn't work.
why is my version 0f26
I need help i get 20 fps with max speed time
The game crashes with the new ui in multiplayer if you make a group chat
with the /i command if you add multiple people to it and send a text it crashes the game for you and the people receiving it
how can I solve this?
yeah its a steam linked account, had some trouble logging in and it didnt want to work for a while but then it just let me. thanks
still no word from the forum though
cant play that game until i get it figured out cause the entire time those troops are stuck there my side gets in a worse and worse position to win
One message removed from a suspended account.
why am i not able to see the number?
Low FPS is normal on high speed. The PC is putting less focus on GPU restraints and more on CPU restraints which causes low FPS
ok..
anyway to make it work?
To make what work
The game is actually running faster, just with a different system of ‘fast’
Fast in HOI4 is hours/second
can anyone help me with this issue please?
Are you launching Paradox Launcher through Steam or through the searchbar
There was an update
through steam
O, in that case try uninstalling Paradox Launcher V2
I already did that
Huh, well is your Documents folder on OneDrive
it's on google drive
Google Drive? I didn’t know they offered a service like OneDrive
it works the same as with onedrive i guess
Yeah, anyways it’s not really recommended to use cloud services for your Documents folder. I would just manually save anything important independent of documents
how can i change that?
That, I would not know. But there should be plenty of YouTube tutorials who can show you it in action
Well, thank you for now. I shall come back if I need your help again
For some strange reason, I can't find (version 1.12.8) on my beta's list (on steam) and I just can't find it, this is my last place I think I can find a way to get there (I am sorry if this isn't the right place to ask)
I don’t think there is one
Wait there is no way to get version 1.12.8
is hoi4 SDR or hdr ?
I just wasted a week of my life
If mods like road to 56 and ensieg crash regularly on startup this is Evident of low ram and disk space yeah,
Dont alt-tab too much maybe
Disk space can be an issue, but itd have to be borderline full generally for games to care, like <2GB free
The game refuses to start when I enable it which is strange it crashes
Oh yeah then thsts what's up
any one that has been having issues with the recent update
Can you be more specific
like loading in to the game after the sabre update
That still doesn't tell me anything
its a generalised question covering a large area under one catgerory (I.E: issues Examples: loading crashes save game problems and ETC) do you understand?
I lost the "Continue" button in the launcher, and for some reason temp is added at the end of my saves. How to fix it?

Hello guys. I haven't played hoi4 for a few months and now when I'm in the game when I open the focus tree tab I experience a big fps drop. Last time I played it was when game devs announced that switching to directX 11 will default and I have switched to it before update. I think it was a little before the release of the last DLC
You can try switching back to the dx 9 render. Dx 11 is quite buggy
?
Good morning
here is my problem
I never have the same version even if I have the same mods to play with my friends, I did everything I uninstalled hoi I removed the cache I changed and changed version again and it doesn't work not
Good afternoon. My hoi4 doesn't allow me to play multiplayer. Whenever I attempt to join a game, hoi4 crashes. Even when I do host, the result is the same, as my friend cannot join it. I would appreciate any help that could be provided and would also appreciate if that person could ping me when replying. Thank you
my steam subscription wont renew, please tell me if you have had this in the past and fixed it, thanks!
it says i have cheats on or there is smt wrong with the files but i just reseted windows and it still shows i have no mods on i have no idea what to do
Active your Windows
Clear your cache
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.
Whenever I try play hoi4, max settings or not I lag hard as all bloody shit and there's no way for me to keep playing
I've verified files, cleaned space in my C drive and D drive
Hell, I even turned off several things just to be able to get it to not blow up
this happens with or without mods too
Hey, i’m trying to load up hoi4 from steam
but it says it’s running but no screen appears
and when i click stop
It just says ”stopping”
and never does anything
I’ve tried reinstalling
Restarting my computer
Nothing seems to work
Is this normal?
Help i cant get into multi player
when i refresh internet it says no server
and i can host one tho
help how do I create special forces ?
i have the same problem
What
Does anyone know what the "Nudge!" button is? I had Player-Led Peace Conferences, Caspian Sea Unlocked and Core with Compliance++ on and when i exited to main menu i saw the nudge! button
oops discord doesn't like that apparently
the nudge button appears when you launch the game in the debug mode
how do i do that? maybe by just exiting a playthrough with debug on?
create mod folder there
how to name it to work
mod
ok thanks i will try
i create it but when i subscribe to few mods but they arent here
(first i unsubscribed all mods)
before creating folder
also mods appear here
mod folder contains files with .mod files
and these files defines a path to a location where all mods are saved (by default steamapps/workshop)
your mods probably loaded but .mod files are absent
so what i need to do
steamapps/workshop check if there are mods youve subscribed
i have mods
ok these are mod files
each folder represent a separate mod you need to copy descriptor.mod file from each folder into the mod folder
and then open them with any text editor and add this line
path=".../workshop/content/394360/846066944" for example
ok i will try thanks
i have this in mod folders
what i need to copy
the descriptor one?
yes only descriptor file
yes
but this line must be unique for each descriptor file
i will try and say how it goes
it still dot work but i have comunicate that say "Launcher dont have acces to documents
:Launcher does not have access permissions for:"
screen is in my language but i translate it
is say i need to change permissions
but i dont knew how to do that
when i load into a game all the countries are colored black how do you fix it?
NickMelk with tell you when he come back
he is very good at computers
he is helping me with mods
Try changing renderer in the launcher
Hoi4 Launcher>Game Settings>Renderer
Change to DX9 or OpenGL
About this i actually didn't see such problem before so I don't know how to fix this

Hi im trying to play with a friend in Multiplayer. He starts the game from the Microsoft store i do from Steam. When i open a server he is unable to find it. Same thing when he does. The found servers are also different. Anyone has any ideas what to do?
come to think of it this is odd, because i cant see how that would be an issue
both are the same platform
maybe try having your friend connect the account to steam
I tried to load up the game today, after work and it does not work, Apparently it needs an update however the new update is not even trying to install, does anyone know how to get the update to install and/or play the game without the new update. (Please note that the game worked just fine earlier in the day.)
also other games are working, I am just having problems with HOI4
Have you gone through the simple procedures, restarting the pc uninstalling and re installing the game, checking the download cache for steam maybe clearing that, then you can also check the downloads folder see if it has any weird issues also, check your documents/paradox interactive/ hearts of iron 4/ and see if the folders contain anything
bruh, im actually retarded. I restarded my pc and the game works just fine now
Check pinned missing files to run the game
I want to get ver 1.10.7 to play mod but when i use Beta code i only get 1.5.3
There is no 1.10.7 specifically. 1.10.8 should work fine.
What is 1.10* version?
1.10.8
Or 1.10.5
But 1.10.8 is presumably better
If there is a yellow exclamation mark, will I be able to play?
Sometimesp
Try it and find out basically
Downloaded all, still no good
and i have restarterd
Does anyone know the Unit ID of Motorized Artillery? Examples of other Unit IDs are infantry, mechanized, motorized, anti_tank, anti_air, artillery_brigade. those stuff basically

thanks, this fixed my issue
i was trying to figure out the nudge tool for a mod i was making but messed up the states in korea

yet another day of this issue NOT being fixed.
What issue?
tank division's "use best match" for 3D model does not actually use the no step back tank designer's selected model
i've been posting abt this bug for like
6 months or something
and yet? nothing. and i DID make a bug post, but it got marked as "duplicate" despite there being, to my knowledge, zero other reports of this particular bug on the bug reports forums
here, have a MUCH MORE OBVIOUS image.
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/hoi-4-avalanche-v1-12-10-91f2-checksum-0f26-tank-division-using-use-best-match-for-map-model-does-not-use-the-model-selected-in-tank-designe.1569839/
welp i made another bug report
since i think the guy who marked my last one as 'duplicate' was mistaken, given i couldn't find this bug posted anywhere
So...
When I start hoi4 in DirectX 11 my game goes to the loading screen, but some seconds later it crashes and the paradox crash reporter appears...
But I tried with DirectX 9 and OpenGL and with those it worked
Anyone got any idea in how to solve this?
just stick to DirectX9
Hello my friends
I'm investigating some crash issues, I would appreciate if you could give me a hand
I need to discover what error is crashing the game
there is a lot of errors, but I care just with the one is crashing the game
I have a lot of mods, I need to discover wich one is causing the crashes
what happens just before it crashes?
Looks somewhat random
I'm able to play after the crash, but keeps happening after some time
Hey i have been having issues joining my friends, i used xbox gamepass on pc to play and i don't seem to be able to join my friends who bought the game on steam is there a way to play with them?
They need to launch the game with Nakama Crossplay
Also, check you're on the same version
ah me and my friend Jude#4011 had the same problem, id ask him how he was able to solve it
My game keeps launching in Avalanche v1.12.91f2 (8ef7) and I can’t join an mp game because the host is on v1.12.91f2 (0f26)
(Both of us are on vanilla with no mods installed)
Your vanilla is the wrong vanilla. Clear your 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.
Thank you
What if I'm playing a single player game and can't miss the peace conference
In that case you should activate your Windows
Sorry, can you elaborate what the issue is?
I was playing Hoi4 and there was a peace conference, I click on confirm and exit and it doesn't want to click even though I'm playing Single player
Oh, peculiar. Have you tried restarting the game
no
I would try that, otherwise I wouldn’t know a fix
It worked thank you
I hate my life
spain come over with 114 Divisions and a total of 2 million Manpower
they kicked my ass
as germany
how is that even possible to gain as spain
wrong channel
sorry
im trying to download a couple of mods but cant find the correct place to install them
through gamepass 🥲
@surreal fiber would you be able to help?
I think youre locked to Paradox mods with gamepass
Just explain the issue and wait for someone to respond don’t spam
do you have any mods active?
I have no mods
I just tried it again and it crashed
is the game up to date
ye
what version of windows are you on as well
try to check the integrity of the game files
ok
it crashed again
the only other thing i could think would be the problem is graphic drivers but i would ask another helper, sorry i couldn't help
I worked so hard to get the game ;-;
Open the Launcher
Go to Game Settings
Click on DX9
how do i make the hoi4 screen smaller?
yo guys i need some help when im putting max time my fps is getting low and i litterly have 3060 rtx 17 12th and 16 RAM
How low is ‘low’? HOI4 is not designed to run at 60 fps on fastest
Go under the video tab in options and there should be a way to change dimensions
100 x 400 and such
good states mod?
Road to 56
Was fine for me, if the problem persists there is an alternative launcher in the pins
did not work
and I just noticed that I think I have to upgrade to a windows 11
anyone know a fix to this?
I've deleted the game and reinstalled like 7 times
verified the files
downloaded everything i needed in the pinned message
it just still doesn't work
@surreal fiber hey bro what’s the most current version of HOI4?
@ancient orbit do you know ?
I’ll check I’m playing rn
V1.12.10.91f2
Check pinned
“Missing files to run the game”
@ancient orbit
Oh
Hmm
Verify file integrity
I did
Multiple times
Are the files you just downloaded correctly placed
And have you restarted your pc?
Thanks bro
It said ”all files have been verified”
Yes
wait
wdym
i read it wrong
I believe they need to be in your windows folder
If i recall correctly i didn’t get any file directory for the c++ thing and net framewotk
But i’ll check again
Alright
the version nr is in the launcher
its 1.12.10 yeh
@ancient orbit is this correct?
or should i just put it in
windows files directly
I think this should work
cause that's how it's been
all the time
Try it and we shall see
still same problem
Thing is, if i start hoi4 directly from the file directory
It starts
without any dlcs or mods tho
So i would assume it's in the launcher?
@surreal fiber could you help better?
Can’t find new age mode ?
Ok last time I ask, I swear. Is a 7900x and 4070 ti going to run hoi4 fine
And by fine I mean can I start a world war without the game shitting itself
Most likely
And for the life of me, someone save my soul I cannot figure out/remember how to change my checksum.
i have the exact same issue bro
Go to steam
right click HOI4 on your list of games.
click properties
local files
verify integrity should be in there
When I open the game it looks very dark, as if I turned the monitor's brightness all the way down. I couldn't find the brightness adjustment, does anyone know the solution?

just go pick one up in a flower shop
im sure they have one to count the amount of flowers they sold
Most likely
Wrong
Good night, I have a problem, since yesterday, 23/02/23, that the Launcher does not start. There is a message that titled: Bootstrapper Error" and says: "Could not start Launcher"
I have desinstalled the game, cleaned the cache of Steam, veryfied files....some mistake prevents me to launch the Launcher.
I do not know what I can do next as my "It skills" as an user.
I can bypass the starting of the launcher (in properties choose (ask always), but this overrides the use of any Mod, as the game starts immediately on the "vanilla" version. Which, for me is not enough. I do play in many Mods, as Millennium Dawn among others. I uploaded a pdf file that has some of these details.
A BIG THANKS beforehand on how to solve this!
I looked around but did not see a query / problem like mine
I have Windows 11. For some time there has been many issues with application drives being updated to 64 bits. This also did happen with "Nvidea GeForceExperice" drives.
This was solved 2 or 3 weeks ago. My 2 year laptop does have RTX graphics card (a 20). Currently I have no problem with any other game or productivity software.
Unfortunetly, I have this problem with the game that I play most, HoI4
I have a bizarre bug with no step back where i have no air designer customization only the old one. I uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game, disabled no step back and reenabled it, the betas are set on none, and i also verified the game files and still no no step back air designer. every other focus and tank designer is there, but not the air would really love the help.
No Step Back is a tank designer
By Blood Alone is the air designer
Hmm
Okay then.
I’m still having my issue: I can’t remember how to change my checksum, I’m pretty sure it’s to do with the betas , but I don’t know which goes to which
are you using a mod?
No
Yes
maybe uninstall and reinstall hoi
To have it on none is Of26: I know how to change which beta I opt into, I just don’t know which beta has which checksum, as they change depending on the betas
Does anyone know/could someone help me out? I’ve seen people with weird checksum, but I don’t know how to get them
what do you want to do?
Checksum Issues
If you are having Checksum Issues, there are potentially a few fixes.
First, you should try to disable any and all mods that you are running and relaunch the game.If that does not work, disable the mods AND clear the game's Cache then relaunch.
Lastly, if those two steps do not work, try verifying the integrity of your files to ensure that it is installed correctly.
if this doesn't work then: #tech-support message
if the MP lobby is using mods then install the same mods
I figured that one out lol
Wait - one more question. If I do both of my halves focus tree mods at the same time will they stack or is it just a waste of time-?
waste of time, mods that modify the same thing in game will clash and not work or even cause the game to crash
Have you cleared cache
I guess I should ask my question here
Whenever I research a completely new technology, I am not able to find it in my production page
I am on latest update and only have Player led peace on
I even disabled all mods and it still doesn't work
Yes, I cleared the cache in Steam and also in the: Paradox Interactive / Hearts of Iron 4
How can I surpass this problem
Bootstrapper Error...Hoow to solve this issue that prevents the "Loader" to launch?
I even completely deleted the game and reinstalled it and it still does not work
Try uninstalling the launcher.
Go to Control Panel
Programmes
Uninstall programme
Scroll to Paradox Launcher V2
Uninstall
Try to launch
Can you give an exact example of a tech not showing up?
I play bulgaria, research Great war tanks, and when I go to try and produce it, it is not there
But if I research betters gun, they do appear. so it is only new research
Aren’t great war tanks also called inter-war tanks
No tanks at all appear
send a screenshot
I see, but you can open the armour menu?
I can
gimme a minute, and I will
Does anything show up if you click on show outdated designs
Looks like it should work. All you can hope for is that researching the next tank doesn’t break either
😦
But, it does it for every "new" technology i research, like fighter 1 or CAS 1, and all ships except convoys
Yeah just remembered that
once you get rid of that it should work
Was about to mention it
Ok, thank you. I will try it with a different country just to make sure. but thank you! I've played Bulgaria before but maybe I just forgot that it does that
Yup, you guys are right. thank you!
my game keeps crashing because
something is weird with the map
but I've uninstalled the game, cleared user directory, and turned off my mods
Did you clear it from the launcher or manually
launcher
Try doing 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.
I'll do it soon
first I'll let steam validate my 10gb of
hoi4 mods I guess
didn't work
thing keeps crashing
alright I'll clear it manually
whats the "map defition"
Basically just how the map is created in-game. Errors in it will cause crashes
uh
Oh I didn’t even notice that it’s misspelled
at this point
i don't know anymore
I can't see any errors in the definition
oh wait
oh no
I just remembered something
What is it
Clearing cache should have removed that
should've
but
it didn't
okay so the problem was that some provinces had no states assigned
I hope this works
it works
oh wait I can't get achievements
Did you modify any base game files
i cant see my armies and all my divisons were unassigned
I had the same glitch a while back, unfortunately the only way I could fix it was starting a new game
can someone help me im trying to play endsieg and i tried different versions, but the game just keep crashing
Hello, how can i fix this error whit the thousand week reich mod
All Endsieg versions are outdated
ok thx

okay, got it
So I play HOI4 through Steam and I have never had the launcher pop up before. When I open the launcher to try and add mods, it only shows my other two games: Stellaris and Crusader Kings III, both also on steam. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall both the launcher and HOI4. Both are on the same disk (C), and still nothing seems to work.
im playing route to 56 and when i try turning it democratic through the civil war route when im winning it crashes and if i load the save file it switches me to facist germany
ok and what is the problem?
is your game on steam?
Yes
are you able to see the table with all the MP games available?
and enter the game
not necessary, nakama mp allow to play with people not on steam
usually if you want to join a MP lobby posted on this discord in the mp channels they write if it is nakama or not
did you reach the main menu of the game?
Yes
select multiplayer
Done
click the button refresh internet or refresh lan
so that the available games appear in the window
Yes Ik
then search for a open game without password, with the same mods you have installed
checksum must be the same as your game
can you screenshot please?
Yes there is servers
When I join them
And load in
When you load into the game there is another loading
And it take years
Well indefinitely
Never stops loading
Then stops
And doesn’t load anymore
did you join a game that still have to start and have the same mods as you have?
try to click on connect on server ID button
and put this code on the server ID
90169817174172680
are you oowner123?
Yes
then your mp works
I opened a room visible to all and without password anyone could join
if you want to join games check #historical-multiplayer and #alt-history-multiplayer
np
return to multiplayer and try another lobby
Ik lol
Sorry, do we connect to a particular server for MP? and is it banned in Iran? because I can never join MP.
I cant see information if i hover my mouse over stuff (like national spirits, manpower etc.)
Can anyone help me, me and my friend are trying to play mp but when he hosts I get 20 000 ms ping and when I host he gets 20 000 ping. Does anyone have a fix for that, please tag me if so.

hi i cant update my beta in hoi4
Question about playsets, I have one with a mod that I use for some of my saved, but what if I don’t want the mods on some of my other saves? Do I just create an empty play set?
What version are you trying to go to, and what platform are you on
Yes
Or disable all the mods until you want to enable them again
im tryingh to move to the beta that people are playing on
That tells me absolutely nothing
hey guys my hoi4 crahses, when i select germany--or any other country and click play, then some normal loading happens and it crashes. it was not like before.
Try switching to the dx9 renderer
Its in the game settings of your launcher
Can I get some help
My game freezes completely
Whenever I load into the map
Like 3 seconds later
And yes this happens in vanilla too
maybe because old pc
these are the only settings
||i am on linux||
That must be it
Dx is a microsoft renderer
And hoi4 is coded with c++
Also microsoft
and i am using the native linux build so... microsoft things arent needed
and i was playing perfectly a few days ago.
I have no Linux experiencd what so ever so I can't really help you
Tired verifying file integrity
And are all mods disabled?
yea
did a whole reinstall
Clear user directory
thats the last thing I can think of
The gpu is old
But the cpu is jew
New*
And there's 32 gb
Ram
mention full specs
maybe ur gpu is still decent
but hoi4 optimization is shit
if it freezes its probably not specs being bad, itd have to be incredibly bad to get such issues
hmmm right
considering hoi4 came out in 2016
i dont think old gpu would be the issue
either its Linux or one of the standard things, renderer/drivers/cache/corrupted files
Ryzeb 5 3600x
32 gb ddr4
Gt 730 ddr3
did ur current one broke
I bought an rx 7900 xt
replace the PSU too
