The reason it can’t use more is because a CPU isn’t a single giant pipe, but rather like a lot of small pipes. A CPU has ‘threads’, which are the pipes. HOI4 can only fully utilise one pipe at a time, and the others just partially. This is because of a multitude of reasons.
so hoi4 cant use multithreading
thats stupid
so its just bad optimization?
It’s a bit of that, but also some info simply requires other info to be calculated before it can be calculated
And HOI4 is a game all about numbers, so there’s a lot of calculations needed
It is multi-threaded to an extent, but not muxh
hmm
okay
thanks
does clearing my cache increase performance or just loading times?
There is definitely room for optimisation, and the devs have tried to improve it every update
I don’t think it’d do much for either, but if it did it would really only affect loading
What CPU do you have?
ryzen 7 5800X
I see. Well, it might be that HOI4 day speed is just slow in general
true 😂
You could try performance mods like the performance map, but I don’t think there’s much players can do about performance
I thought dev diaries have stated hoi4 does multithread?
The others just partially
It is multi-threaded, but regardless one pipe is used more than the others
Which operating system?
macOS?
Windows?
Force quit steam
Command option escape on Mac
Or Hoi4
99% success rate
Your game will be saved
Or update steam or Hoi4
@ancient orbit
There is a difference between quit
And force quit
Do force quit
Are you doing quit or force quit?
Did you try reinstalling steam
Like everything
Deleting files
Please elaborate
Like send a video
Like you can’t exit the game?
Correct me if I am wrong
Well
Im about to reset my computer operating system
Dont ask why its a long story
Either way
Is moving hoi4 to a diferent memory disk also moving the mods?
Or will i have to redownload them
?
can somebody help me out with this idk how to fix it to get my game running
do you have any mods
then uninstall them then try
all of them are turned off
do I have to fully uninstall them
try it maybe
ok
wait uhh how do I uninstall them?
go to Documents, paradox, hoi4, then mod folder
then remove all mods in that folder and put them somewhere else
ok deleted all of them
did that and it didnt work
what about the C++ and .NET thing @scarlet wind?
hmmm idk much about windows so
try a clean install
(you can ignore the parts about kaiserreich if you don't have that mod, and then you can readd your mods after the fact)
thanks ill try that out
???
playing open beta
crash reporter does not work
ig its not just me having this problem then
The game will just randomly crash mid game for seemingly no reason. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, and even went so far to unsubscribing from all of my mods and stuff. It only started happening after the last update. Anyone know whats going on?
I also validated my game files as well and I still have this issue
road to 56?
ye
yeah its the latest road to 56 update thats screwed majority of peoples saves, you can rollback version but i dont think it 100% fixes the crashes only temporary
i think the play is to just wait for next R56 update/hotfix or play vanilla
check playsets
Interesting
That would explain a lot
A shame tho, was having a good Ethiopia game where I was single handedly defeating the Axis
Let’s go
I can't launch the game for some reason, I have tried verifying the integrity of the files and I even installed those things
Check play sets
I have made a play set where there are no mods at all and it's still not working
@jagged onyx open propeties on steam
You can change it from there to launch straight into game instead of launcher
It worked! But can mods still be played without the launcher?
do. you have enough storage on your computer
at least 6gb would work
@earnest badge
Hello. Linux user here. Every time I open HOI4, the launcher crashes after 3 seconds. Then it restarts, then crashes after 3 seconds again. Clean reinstall, no luck. Anyone who could fix this?
inxi -Fxxxrz results here.
🫂
I cant teach you how to run a generator
I have 8 gb.when I had the old launcher, it worked, the launcher was updated, it crashes during loading or in the game itself
@acoustic bridge
free 7 GB
HI I BOUGHT DLC NO STEP BACK AND I THINK IT DOESNT WWORKS BUT ONLY FOR USSR
bcs the soilders doesnt make any sound if i click on them
should i reinstal the game?
We currently are experiencing a crash in our mod since the latest update and are not sure what the issue may be from the latest patch does anyone have an idea on how to fix it?
Same with road to 56...
Nah R56 works if you are crashing from it its clientside
can i ask is here any suport on paradox bcs my dlc doesnt works well (i bought no step back but it doesnt works on ussr)
i tryed everithink but idk what i can do with it
not according to rt56 devs
Help!
I got a horrible crash with hoi4. I cannot continue my netherlands campaign. I annexed indonesia and belgium. Meaning i got lots of overseas terretories. So i have build lots of convoys. However. When opening the campaign today i got this.:
When i press spacebar or continue to time. The game crashes.
I think its due to having -221 convoys. And the game cant handle that i think. I dont know why i got -221
Is there a place or way where i can report is as detailed as possible?
I had this before. When playing sweden. had to abandon that campaign too due to this bug.
Every single time I try to launch vanilla hoi4 I get this error:
I've tried everything, I've re-installed the game, I've cleared the cache, I've verified integrity of files. I honestly don't know what to do.
uhmmmm... All my savegames are bugged out right now... All have this bug. -222 or more and crash!
PLEASE HELP!
No one?
Try clearing the documents/paradox interactive/hearts of iron IV folder
i did :(
The previous version is not available... al my save games are broken.
2 times when i first downloaded black ice man i was so hyped all day
(Maybe for the best)
Do you have any other mods on
those two
why is that?
the two mod are outdated i think
Why
why other people can play it
maybe they play on oldre game version
or maybe you need a DLC
got every dlc enabled
how do I get an older game version tho?
can i somehow delete dlc from my account bcs it doesnt works
🇱🇾
Why do you want that?!
Just turn it off
Just unsubscribe
how do i stop hoi4 lag? it just started for some reason and ive got a good pc
Can you elaborate?
Fastest does act like that sometimes. What PC specs do you have?
since hoi4 is towards more cpu based i got an amd ryzen 7 3700X 8 core processer 3.59 ghz
That seems like fairly typical behaviour
like it only just started idk why
Although, it would be better to use something like a 5600 instead
nah like my hoi4 was good like a few weeks ago it was fast and no problems
Hmm. Well, there's many reasons for HOI4 performing weirdly and unfortunately it's not always a very diagnosable and fixable issue
ye i dont even want to play the game anymore lmao
Nah c'mon bro HOI4 is still good
agreed
Id still play in 15fps
I get like 15-20 fps as well, but the days still go by fast so I haven't cared much
i dont even know how much fps i get, ill check tho
its just my game feels laggy and is so slow
Could be a weird driver, could be a game update, could be that HOI4 just doesn't like you
Quick question what do u guys do if there is someone playing cracked
Yeah I agree
what do you mean by playing cracked
I dont...
hey so i have 500gb hard and 256 ssd on my computer
its c and D
today i got a second hand 2tb hard drive pretty cheap and when connected
it seems it was seperated into 3 disk and one of them had Operation system
how to sort them out?
wtf happened to my bulgarian tgwr save?
Holy smokes, did you forget to have the mod in the playset?
Or have an incompatible mod?
idk
maybe
im playing hearts of labotomy 5
was there a patch for hoi4 today cuz
I can't play owb
my friend says there apparently was one that made owb outdated
thus making it crash on the loading screen
there was one like 2 days ago
then why was owb working fine yesterday?
how do i fix hoi4 being laggy and slow
not sure where the right place to ask this is, but can people with the mp host role give timeouts? 👀
Stop playing in Hugh settings and lower them
And use these commands:
debug_smooth
Weather
The simple solution is to go get a 250 dollar PC and add a gtx 1050ti
already do they dont do nothing
Did u lower ur settings
Because I can tell it's not in the lowest graphics
And open task manager and give me your specs
yes i even made my game look like a potato
Ok the. Open task manager
ok
Now send me ur CPU,ram,graphics card
like my hoi4 didnt have a problem like 3 weeks ago
💀why what
Bro I got 4gb ram,13-8145U,Intel UHD 620 and I run the game at 45FPS on lowest graphics
i dont know how much frames i run on hoi4 cause my overlay doesnt work on that game
works for everything else but that
Go into hoi4 rn and send me a screenshot of ur settings
alr lemme switch acc
just saying i put them at the max but ive tried putting them on graphics nothing changed
Ok
Make resolution 1280 x 720
Set multisample to 0
Texture quality LOW
Disable cities,3d trees,shadows,3d buildings,3d units,weather,reflections,full rendering resolution and High quality pixel shaders
Apply these settings and send me a recording again of the game
gotta restart and gotta eat
ill send you in dm?
Sure np
I'm going to go sleep
I'll reply tommorow
alr np
How can I solve thes ??
My Hearts of Iron 4 Randomly crashes, with and without mods, ive tried multiple things and none of them has worked.
I have similar specs on my old computer and I get similar results
Reinstalling steam or Hoi4? Have you tried that
Or restarting your computer
Mac or windows?
Or Linux
I have a 31.3mb crash when I try to play black Ice mod. I've verified files and redownloaded the whole game
My mods are Black Ice , black Ice GFX, player lead peace conferences and precise buffs
It's something to do with not being able to locate meshes
Nevermind guys black Ice is broken
Is the mod compatible with the newest update?
Bcs you might need to backdate the game if it isn't
can i port a savegame from 1.10.4 to the newest patch? i changed the version in the save's file but it still won't let me load it
I cannot play Hearts of Iron IV without a mod that changes the borders.
Do not mess with Nudge.
What ever you do, do not mess with Nudge.
I was messing with Nudge in Hearts of Iron IV: The Great War
how do i improve fps in hoi4? it keeps dropping to like 20-15 but when im paused i got 60-70
Question. What do you need fps for in hoi4
It’s a map game
You stare at a map
Fps isn’t important it just needs to be stable
cuz my game is so laggy and i got good specs
game speed is good but so laggy
If it ain’t stable you need lower settings
Like a lot of settings aren’t really needed either imo
what ones should i lower?
Pfft I don’t know out of the top of my head
Shadows can go, 3d units and buildings I think
Uuuh ye idk
alright ill disable those
FPS isn't how HOI4 speed works. It's associated with speed, however the main determiner of speed is hours/second which will often ignore FPS
I’ll look it up for you in a sec
so me getting 10 fps doesnt matter
Probably not, but if you think it's not very playable anyways you can try going down to 4 speed or using the FPS boosts Daniel mentioned
ye im going to try the stuff me mentioned if that dont work ill play 3-4 speed
Hello I’m having an issue with checksums. Me n my friend have the same mods, even a client mod. We both verified as well
His version changed but mine didn’t
Bro I literally helped you and you said that the game was fine. Now you come here and ask for help again?
If it didn't work then why did u tell me it worked?
This guy is a clown 🤡
the great war mod keeps saying it need the 1.13.5 version, thing is there is no beta with that number, and when i click no beta it still doesnt work. I tried unsubscribing and subscribing again, but still same issue.
i've had this bug almost my entire game- can't pressure any countries because it says I'm already pressuring another country. however, i'm not, as seen in the second picture. only diplomatic modifier is improving relations, but removing that modifier doesn't allow me to pressure countries, either
It’s a signal from the lord to pull out while you still can
Your computer has wairus
hi i just download a new dlc and my troops doesnt do any sound can i simehow fix it?
probably wrong game version
Can someone help me with a small problem on steam version
My game often freezes completely however the laptop itself keeps running and I can open the task manager and all but it's annoying
In the task manager it shows that the game is responding and all but I'm reality it's not
The music that I was playing suddenly drops and I can't do anything in the game it's like the laptop is going to blue screen but it's just fine
<@&916727924093239336>
I didn't try deleting the cache or anything yet
I'm only using the fps map mod
hello, i have this message that keeps appearing every time I restart the game, it goes well until a specific date when it crashes, can someone help me ?
i'm in late game well that's probably because there are 15 000 things on my screen, but this never happened before
I think your specs are required in such case
Also are you using any mods or not
I'm no expert but that's the basics a tech helper needs to help
I use RT56, fast justification mod and demand it
Rt56 shouldn't crash you, I'm not sure about the others so wait for helpers to respond
But it's probably one of the mods
ah yes i have another problem, when il launch HOI4 without skipping the launcher, this message appearing
i uninstall the game 5 times, on another disk, i delete all the mods, it change nothing
We have the same version
Does one of u have a cracked version?
ya i do
Enjoy singleplayer
nuh uh
this may be the wrong channel for this, but i had to reinstall hoi4 because the checksum was not working properly, and i unsubscribed from all of the mods bc steam was taking over an hour to load them, then it just froze, claimed it was still downloading stuff, so then i tried to uninstall hoi4 again but it didnt let me, so i uninstalled it from my files, but steam still claims its in my library and says its validating (its not). what do i do? <@&916727924093239336> pls help me
hi i just download a new dlc and my troops doesnt do any sound can i simehow fix it?
pls
you might have to start a new game, things kind of break when you activate or deactivate DLCs partway through a game, or even just update the game
ive seen entire provinces physically disappear
so now i should uninstall game
or just start new game?
or just switch off and switch on dlc?
?
Do u think i should write to support?
No lol that's just part of the game
Have you tried restarting stuff? Restarted steam and your PC?
If yes then try verifying file integrity
Btw to fix an incorrect checksum you need to clear user directory in the launcher settings
We dont work on the game, go report it on the forum
Whats the checksum
yall my game crashed and now my general card thingy disappears everytime i try to boot up the save again
and no i didnt disable the hud
the game is mad at u 💀
its joever....
and the worst thing is that i have this problem on EVERY game without mods or whatever
so im basically cooked
money well spent for the time it worked tho 🤑
verify game files
i did
try clearing Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV
alr
it only does it like way further into the game tho
like 2 years or so
so im not rlly sure if it would works 💀
gimme a sec
It's over for your saves 😂
I had similiar stuff with TNO where leader portrait and hud got corrupted on all saves, so only solution was to delete them all
dont worry
because i already deleted all my saves while reinstalling it bcs im a dumbass 😝
😂
im slowly starting to realize how jmuch shit i lost
💀
i shouldve finished owb before this shit happened
it took so long just to defeat the ncr and legion as the sierra enclave
well, at least your saves ain't corrupted any more
true true
hopefully it doesnt happen again
bcs i genuinely started tweaking the night it happened
I lost a lot of progress in TNO just like that too. I got germany to 1982 and had to delete everything
damn 😭
I made it a complete superpower and all just got deleted
I had 50k planes airforce, 5 mil army, and like 300 ships most of which were capital
i had a similar incident but with like 5 armys worth of power armor divisions 💀
i planned to use all that to invade every nation that wasnt my puppet before that shit happened
typical hoi4 bugs be like 💀
btw how do u get that expedition to Hawaii as the Sierra Enclave
like i swear that event just popped out of nowhere late game
I'm german main
ah
the only problem i have when i play germany is microoing the eastern front too much and not rrealizing the allies broke italy and are currently penetrating thru my ass without me noticing 😝
I simply sea lion UK and allies are only existing in Africa at this point. Eastern Front is pain if I do an offensive in it and not try defensive
I found out that draining soviets of equipment is the best way to deal with them
I make 3 division type which are motorized, infantry and tanks, and I make them 30+ width
Soviets just unable to breakthrough at that point
btw is it worth it to make like support divisions
take for example divisions composed with arty or rocket arty with motorised to increase that org
i saw it in a disaster save once and thought it worked prtty well
I use support companies like radio or other not bad companies
Sometimes I add anti tank support companies
i dont get that radio company tho
like tf they do
ive seen no positives nor negatives to using it
They just increase initiative linked to division engagement
Some people say it's useful, some are not
recon is kind of intel gathering
They gather intel and slightly increase combat stats as well as helping counter tactics
im gonna see if my agme works now 😝
Any mods enabled?
Does the game still crash without any mods on?
the game didn't crash when I turned off Fighting Filipinos
Ah, fighting filipinos is super outdated
ig that solves it?
Yeah, you're crashing because of an outdated mod
What does it do
💀
i uninstalled all my mods and verified my files but it still is like this
<@&916727924093239336>
Have you tried doing what it sais
hi , i have a problem like him
i do not have any mods
unsub all of them
but when i launch the game from launcher
give me this Error
***Some errors are present in the map defition and have been logged to error.log
you might want to disable your mods and try again.
if that fails , check the integrity of game files inside steam
if that fails , try cleaning your user durectory from the launcher***
i do not have any mods , did check the integrity of game files inside steam , did try cleaning your user durectory from the launcher , did remove (Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV)
did go to the Appdata and hidden Paradox folders in Drive C
redownload and reinstall the game but nothing
just give me this Error
me too
my Launcher does not update
in Launcher gave me failed massage
the massage is
A Launcher Update has failed check your Internet Connection and try again
A Launcher Update has failed. The action failed beacuse we could not fetch MetaData about this resource. This mean our servers are having hiccups or your internet is lost stable enouth
<@&916727924093239336> pardon me i mention you , beacuse i seen some players here have my problem too , thanks if you help and solve 🙏
I have reinstalled launcher. Deleted all files and reinstalled and even verified integrity of game files and none of them work
Like for the game?
It should be in the description on the game telling you the minimum requirement
I signed up for the 6m subscription again and i have been sitting here for ~5-10 minutes and it hasn't procssed anything is it just me bank or is steam broken
(side note idk if this is even the correct channel 💀 )
Bros using Hong Kong dollars 😂
I'm in hong kong
so yes i would use the local dollar
Aren’t they getting prosecuted there mush
for?
Freedom of speech and allat
okay A im european so hong kong can't do shit B what does this have to do with hoi4
Nothing tbh just made me chuckle today I was having a bad day so thanks I guess lol
Oh then, hope this made it better
My game keeps crashing at the same date and time, or the following date if i turn on daily autosaves. I have no idea why, the following is the last part of the crash log if someone knows how to interpret them
When that happened to me I just cleared game directory and was fine or I would reinstall
alright ty, will try that later
i have it why?
i have your problem too
i couldnt fix it but i found a way to to still be able to play mods
why isn't my multiplayer working
im guessing you are launching the program with administrative permissions?
thats exactly what that problem typically looks like across any program when its unable to access a specific file in root directiories
Do you guys know why my game keeps crashing? I have cold war and anime music mods installed and after I reload saves game crashes after a while
Anyone encountered that?
Its an issue with the launcher usually
marijin , may you solve our problem
?
so how do i fix it?
Anyone know why this would be the case? I don't have any mods active and re-verified my Steam files.
Fixed it, for anyone else having this issue, Clear your User Folder in the HOI4 launcher
Someone can help me with this?
Your game is downloaded in your onedrive
You'll need to remove it from there bcs the game can't access the files
I try to play with a friend but I get that the version is different but we have the same version, could you help me>?
Try Nakama MP
Some people report having tried everything, clearing documents/paradox interactive/hoi4 folder, verifying files, triple checking modlist and it still not working, I assume youve done those
nakama MP??
Yes
I mean what is nakama mp?
Hi guys, this problem has appeared to me and my friend many times. We even deleted and installed the game again. Does someone know how to fix it?
Guys my game keeps crashing after certain date. I also noticed that saving on cloud doesn't work
Is it end for my savefiles?
how do i fix this? ive did everything it told me to do and nothing worked
Hey guys ive noticed that my game freezes for a few 5-10 seconds at the end of each in game day
any way to fix this?
it freezes for around 13 seconds each day
how do I fix this
no Im not in a family microsoft account thing
why I have it when is next day?
This game is just freaking BS!!!
I get this constantly now!!!!
WHYQ!!
Im so angry!!
All my campaigns die when i reach 40
Because of bug!!!
Stupid game!!
the latest update just broke the game so massively
And there isnt even a rollback available. That is just clowning
First all my save games get fricked and i get a bug where i got -200 convoys and that crashes my game. Now i wanted to deploy heavy fighters and that crashes my game!!
Paradox.... Just stop.. The tech debt is too great. You are making things WORSE!!!
Just wasted a lot of time on a game. just to get shafted in 1940!!!!
Because paradox cannot normally make a update thats why!
how do i fix this? ive did everything it told me and it doesnt work
Its because either of Some mods not Compatable with other mods themselves Probably
or if so, probably an outdated mod
Either Different versions with the letters and numbers (c998), your friend or you could have different mods, dlcs or other items in your hoi4
make sure to check the version before doing MP
i dont use mods
well i use 1 but its fps map
Probably that, or something else.
i mean it only started today because i uninstalled it yesteday cause there was glitches ingame
huh
it gets to there and says that
I DONT GET IT IVE TRIED EVERYTHING
I verified the integrity of my files
I deactivated all my mods
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game
I checked to make sure I have c++ and .net
what the hell do i do???
<@&916727924093239336>
Oh, I managed to resolve the issue now.
In fact, the problem was something else, my antivirus had blocked the launcher from accessing the folder.
Anyway, thank you very much for your help.
Hey I got a problem All my states have their state IDs instead of their actual names. It's probably cuz I deleted some files but now I can't get those files back even if I uninstall and reinstall. I talked to my friend and he has this problem too. Does anyone know how to fix it?
No matter what I do nothing let's me play without this showing up
Check firewall
my hoi4 crashes when i declare war
Clear cache, method is in the pinned messages
You too, also try clearing cache but manually. Clearing cache through the launcher is unreliable
how do I do that?
First pinned message
alright
so what do?
sometime is good but is
i did everything it told me and its still showing this
Well, I’m not quite sure then.
If you haven’t fully reinstalled yet, try that but besides that I wouldn’t be sure on how to fix it
ill just re install it
it works
Alright, have fun playing then
I dunno im in the same boat. Game keeps crashing.
any idea how to fix this
Game keeps crashing after a while in every game I play, I thought it was beacuse of the mods I was using so I tried turning some of them off and then play again, but it still crashes no matter what I do. Can you help? <@&916727924093239336>
how can i fix uk focus tree
Does it always crash around the same time in game?
Or when you do anything specific?
around the same time i think
Its a bug that should be fixed. There is a way to manually fix it but you need to change the game settings before the game starts
do you know how to fix it?
Could try validating your gamefiles
<@&916727924093239336> I have no clue how to fix this ive tried everything
when i host a game and my friend tries to join the game my game crashes (i play on linux and he on windows)
why cant i see how many enemy units there is
this is the code I get when I launch

<@&916727924093239336>
Try validating your gamefiles. That might fix it
I did that a bunch of times but ill try again 😭
verify integrity right
Might be a launcher issue then. Have you tried reinstalling it?
And yes
yea I did
How did you reinstall it?
I followed this guide
https://kaiserreich.fandom.com/wiki/How_to_do_a_Clean_Install
files r validated btw
That doesn't reinstall the launcher
Bcs its seperate from the game. You're on windows right?
oh
Then you have to go settings, then apps, search for "paradox launcher" and delete it
Then just launch HOI4 again and it'll reinstall the launcher
ok
wait wait sorry where do I do this?
ok uninstalling
nah nah it's cool I don't know much on this stuff lol
ok launching
I mean "settings" is a bit vague tho lol
the error is still there 😭
Might be an issue that you're missing either visual c++ or .net framework then. You should find where to install those in the pins
I def have both I believe
Weird then. Did it launch before?
I dont think so, I redownloaded all 3 (except the 2nd one since it says a version is already downloaded) so I'll see if it works
Alright. From what I can tell from the error it might be an issue with the current playset you're trying to use
huh, it's weird cause I removed all my playsets and mods
Can anyone help me, how do I solve this problem of enemy divisions not appearing on the map?
And you have the default playset selected?
yep
And you're sure all your mods are gone?
yep
Try pressing alt?

this is the code I get
Try deleting the launcher again and then also deleting the launcher files
Since I think that might be where the issue is
how do I delete the launcher files?
Search for %appdata% then go to appdate folder, local, programs, paradox interactive and then delete the "launcher" file
wait where do I search? In files?
Just in the windows search feature in the taskbar
got it
Pretty sure the button is M not alt
After you've deleted it try launching it again to reinstall the launcher
Idk the button. I just know its a common issue with alt because of alt tabbing.
is it the "paradox launcher v2" file?
Thats not the folder its saying the issue is but can delete it. It'll just be reinstalled when you launch again
It should be in the local folder in appdata tho. Not the roaming one
oh that's what pulled up when I searched up %appdata%
Ah. Click appdata at the top then
Thats the folder you're looking for. Then just follow what I said here
Then try launching again
Yes
😭
You're tried a fully clean reinstall right?
wdym?
Like the guide you sent. This one
oh ok
Yep ok I give up I cant solve this DAMN ERROR
Hi I have a question can you play hearts of iron four on Chromebook
you can't
Oh
I joined my friend's private session to play with him and my other friend, but it keeps freezing and not letting me do anything. The time moves forward for them and then it pauses the game for them so it can catch me up. Me on the other hand I'm not able to interact with anything. I'm only able to move my camera around. I'm not sure what to do to fix this.
Yeah, his friend here. Every time I and my friend Blueish were in the same game. The time would stop for him, and it would force us to pause the game due to a player being behind.
I Uninstalled the game and then re installed it but it keeps crashing and showing this screen. And it's at the time of Christmas where I was gifted 3 DLC but I can't even use them
And if you could DM me on how to fix it because I'll loose the message from here
It'll struggle a lot. Also don't spam pings please
wdym it will struggle
you know anything about tech?
We’re volunteers btw
so you know if my computer can run hoi4 or not
even tho it has 8 GB, of ram
windows 11 etc
Like chat kat said, it’ll struggle. Hoi is mostly CPU’s, so ram isn’t that much of a concern
well what’s my cpu
you don’t know it
the I3 1315U
or is it somewhere that
aw man
i’m sad
i’m gonna cry
this is a christmas present
and i’m not a kid 😞
Dw it should still run it. but it'll only be a little bit slow
little bit slow isn’t enough
i’ve waited years to play
@whole smelt thank you
and i’m sorry for my attitude
have a good day
wdym a little slow
sorry
@whole smelt
KAT!
Actually wait. It might be faster then I said.
Yea it should run HOI4 fairly well
really?
Yea
thanks so much
how do you know though
just asking
Just looking up how well the CPU compares to other CPU's
No problem :)
Source?
Just because HOI4 has a lot of CPU limitations doesn’t mean it won’t also massively struggle due to a GPU limitation
iGPUs are already crappy, let alone Intel ones
Yeh on some trashy integrated graphics, GPU might actually end up influencing performance ^^
so
mine is trash?
just say it
i won’t be mad
😞
@surreal fiber
It seems likely
I mean there are ways to reduce GPU usage. Plus HOI4 doesn't require much GPU at all
Intel iGPUs are really bad
Yea but its HOI4
Both true
Its a laptop dont worry
wdym
Just pretend I said a really whitty comparison here cause I cannot actually think of one
Uhm
it can run this though
even though it’s kind of garbage tbh
Roblox?
It can run the game no doubt, but whether it’d be a quality experience is debatable
okay
just please stop
i’m 13 and i don’t need enough damage
before
and stuff
so you
hust
idk
No comment
ok
but can it run
@surreal fiber
BE SERIOUS
I AM TALKING TO YOU
UR ACTUALLY MAKING ME ANGRY
HOLY SHIT
Calm down
If it can run thats all needwd
yeah but it sucks
“no one likes you”
“that’s why you have a trash pc weirdo”
@surreal fiber
just
stop
so can it run
just answer
“yes but slowly is fine@
whether it can run HOI IV? that is very easy
How well will it run? Im guess you might be stuck at 4 speed or something
who knows
you don’t have my computer lol
Speed 4 is fine tho. I mean I played at speed 3 for most of my playtime
I was stuck at 2/3 speed on my laptop
But this is one should be significantly better
yea
@deep raptorPlease keep it on topic, if you need help with what I just deleted please contact professionals.
okay
ur dutch?
cool i love dutch
especially the napoleonic wars dutch
dutch history is so cool
add to card ofc
Hit Add to Cart? I don’t really see what the issue would be
i’m not adding it to cart
it’s useless
i’m not shopping’s
what?
Why would we lie to you?
you click add to cart
Literally what would that achieve
and then go and purchase it
I cant tell if you are trying to gaslight or just dont get how Steam works
Man you being mad disrespectful right now
i’m not trying to be
i just don’t get how steam works
You have to add to cart to make the purchase
okay thanks
for helping
it worked
now
i can but it
but
love ya
thanks @surreal fiber
Tried absolutely everything. Even disabled all of my mods, I cleared the chache, deleted the game files, uninstalled the game. Absolutely everything and this still keeps on happening
try something else
Anybody know why I can't install the launcher for Hoi4? (Solved it)
I want to get off of mod
I can't figure out how to and I want to just go back to the regular game because I just bought a ton of expansion packs I wanna try out
i buy game and i download mod Millennium Dawn and its not working can you guys help me plz i buy game for this mod
Hello, a question, I bought Heart of Iron 4 in the Microsoft store and when I opened the launcher and started the game I got a notification telling me that I do not have permission to access the mods and that they will be disabled, I need solutions please 😦
I already answered u
On low settings
Why are u asking again
And ur attitude bruh
Yeah, his friend here. Every time I and my friend Blueish were in the same game. The time would stop for him, and it would force us to pause the game due to a player being behind.
<@&916727924093239336> I'm having lots of trouble with this. When it first showed up I uninstalled and then reinstalled it and left if over night for it to finish installing all the mods except it keeps showing this
So it's because it's on OneDrive, and Paradox probably doesn't have authority to access it. Are you using Avira anti-virus? I heard they often cause this issue
Idk but it's been working fine for the past 3 months, it's only started doing this in the past 3 days
Well, do you have Avira?
Or, did you recently upgrade to Windows 11? That might have automatically moved your Documents onto OneDrive
Try
Press windows
Type onedrive and enter
See if u can now play
What would that even do
Absolutely nothing
Didn’t work?
Still showing
Usually onedrive isnt started and it’s inaccessible
I've never heard of that issue. Besides, it's usually easier to just move Documents off OneDrive since it sucks anyways
Would I be looking for a specific document
Can u open any file
Also whats ur antivirus
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...
Actually yeah, still never answered whether they use Avira which seems to be the one that always causes issues with OneDrive
Norton 360
Tbh, Windows Defender is usually more than enough. Regardless, try this tutorial and see if it works
Well
I use avira
And have my pdx interactive folder in onedrive
Right, cause it requires special permissions in most cases I've seen
Idk
Never had trouble
<@&916727924093239336> is there something that I still may have messed up?
I don't think so. Maybe just run through typical troubleshooting methods like reinstalling and clearing cache. Anomalous crashes are pretty hard to diagnose
Ok, I'll come back to it later and take another look
I've tried firing up the game again but it still crashes after I get to the hoi4 home menu
I launched the game multiple times. I redownloaded the game multiple times. I cleared the download cache multiple times, but i still get a crash each time?
Can this be because of my ram usage? When i play the game i use like 80% of the ram and then the game just randomly crashes??
How much RAM u got?
Do you use any mods?
That hapens to me when modded
Hello, is it normal that, when using the Nudge! tool, no changes are applied no matter if I save or not? I am using the latest version avaliable
It has been 15 minutes since its like that and after it crashes do someone have an issue ?
the division voicelines for the usa won't play
or do i have too have man the guns for that
Hey I am on Linux and I am trying to run the game with some mods but I am getting a database error, anyone know how to fix this?
another error type thing is next to the play button and it tells me the launcher doesn't have permission to access dlc load.json
for some reason a new state isnt loading properly in sweden but i am in vanilla hoi4. i am verifying the game files but idk if its the game or its my error
Ok I think I may have figured a way to fix it, but I need to stop the launcher from updating
Ok seems like the launcher is 100% broken so Im just gonna use proton
And proton doesn't work either :/
Hello
Game stutters
In the options it says 143hz, 119hz...
Update: I have fixed the stuttering, but the fps settings are still weird, offering me 59, 119 and 143 fps
It’s not weird they’re still the same, monitors are rarely exactly 144 but instead more like 144.001 or 143.9999, just run at 143 and it won’t be a noticeable difference
has anyone else had problems on windows 11
Hello, i am trying to help a hoi4 server, because theres someone messing up games and crashing them, does someone have any idea how to prevent it, or find who is doing it, i been surfing game files and i think i found whats crashing the game, missing events being fired on communist china, but i couldnt find any information about the players in the game, is there any way you guys can help me?
Hi! I am having trouble staring Hoi4. I get the message "missing executable". I have watched countless tutorials, and tried stuff like deleting the game, verify integrity, delete cache, restarting the pc, and etc. The older versions are playable but not the new one.
have you fixed it?
AYO I need help, malenium dawn cannot run, when I try to do it bugs out my whole pc and crashes it requiring me to turn it off and back on.
I cannot even play
Let me send a video
If your wondering in the first part I ran the Great War hoi4 mod to show that malenium dawn is the only one I have doing this
To fix this i'd make playsets for all your mods
@amber gorge
Oh alright.
Did you add the mod to the playset?
should bring this up
then click add new playset
and boom
name it
then add the mods
Oh not like that in the photo he just sent I went into the play set section and did it individually
Isn’t that the same or is it different
the same
Hm
this is just an example of what it should look like
Well I will still try it anyway
except you'll have millennium dawn in there
Oh yeah it looks the same pretty much similiar size mods like old blue world work fine Aswell it’s only malenium dawn doing it
weird
But I will try the second option and see if it makes any difference
might do
Aswell as anything else suggested
Oh ok
quick question,
Yeah?
I tried both but I use steam
yeah ok then
that's fine
i'd probably use steam cause some mods aren't avaliable with he paradox mod forum
which is a lil sad
Ye
i've got a lot of mods installed so.
i have a lot of playsets
and also if you do install many mods,
playsets are good to keep things organized
cause going through one to enable just one mod can get a little bit uhm
annoying
tldr, use playsets
glad i could help
gonna go sleep now
night
Night
anyone know how to fix this?
Things I have done to try and fix it:
Reinstall game
Verify files
Use proton (doesn't launch at all)
Reinstall Launcher
Deleted the file it talks about
Opt in for the beta launcher
unsubscribe to mods launch and resubscribe
And various combinations of the above
Im windows 10 and i played the great war without any problemz
Bruh just run it
Yah
And now the game refuses to launch at all
Ok got it running using proton
help with this
not working
tried loading
in a playset, that playset is enabled, i played
Is there a way to change keybinds?
I want to change the pause time to something other than spancebar since its annoying to have to move my entire hand just to pause
Hello hello. I'm on Ubuntu 23.04 and trying to play an MP and I have seconds before the game crashed. Anyone can solve the problem?
Every single time.
my hoi continues to crash with Two mods on the MP Modpack and the Great war redux
Any way to fix this?
Are they compatible?
@stiff mango
It's probably a mod conflict
You will have to download a key remapper like https://www.autohotkey.com/
Free keyboard macro program. Supports hotkeys for keyboard, mouse, and joystick. Can expand abbreviations as you type them (AutoText).
Not sure if this is a correct area but where could I ask devs to have a look into ships refitting process? Not being able to upgrade even AA/radar/sonar on captured ships is ahistorical and the least to say disapointing.
Best regards.
Hey greetings, is anyone active currently?
Anyway,
my friend and I wanted to play multiplayer, you know just a little 2 maybe 3 people game, but his PC has been saying "Steam Work Time Communication Error"
He tried his best to clear every single file, I dont know if he succeded he may have skipped some places but he tried clean installs multiple times
We tried ignoring it and it failed
Thank you for your time
Goodnight
Everything in my game became extremely small
It's impossible to play like this
How can I get back to normal
You mean the interface?
Have u checked first the Resolution right? This can help
Go to options
Click on Video
Look for UI Scale and change it until you feel comfortable, I have it on 1.6x so you can start looking from it
hey im kinda having a problem on hoi4. im trying to play with my friend on multiplayer, vanilla, and it keeps crashing. i went to my crash reports and it said this:
[22:52:47][no_game_date][persistent.cpp:45]: Error: "Malformed token: NO, near line: 3944" in file: "common/country_leader/00_traits.txt" near line: 3944

Hello I think my game glitch like mid game every country beside my has like 500-3000

When I start the game from Steam, it turns off immediately without starting the Paradox launcher. What is the solution?
Have you restarted your PC yet?
If you have done that and it doesn't work, try this.
Open control panel
Click on Uninstall a Program
Scroll down to Paradox Launcher V2
Click Uninstall
Try to run the game again
I tried that and it opened the first time, but the problem came back
.
500 to 3000 what?
when i try to use the air tab in game my game crashes
i cant use air please help
Outdated mods

Have you validated your gamefiles yet?
How to do that
Is it the "Verify Integrity of game files"?
Yea
It might take a bit if you have the game on hard drive
It still crashes :/
What am I supposed to do
Are you using any mods?
yes
Why does it say conection timed out every time i try to join a mp game
