cpu pilot?
it's a nvidia right? it needs a pilot to run, is it up to date?
gpu sorry i'm not that good with that but I had a similar problem with an other game
don't really know then sorry
oh uh maybe you have installed hoi4 on your hard disk and your hard disk might have a problem?
the microphone chops on discord when i play hearts of iron iv
How do I fix this? I have downloaded the visual C++ and all that
can you still get a steam key if you owned hoi4 on microsoft store
bc i forgot to claim it
was working on my mod earlier its disabled now but the states that were in my mod that were edited are now effecting my base game because it wont recgonize state names that I changed in my mod even though the mod is disabled
see here
and I checked the localisation folder for the base game and I didnt accidentally write in the base game files so like?
I had the same problem
Just remake recopy states file
And loc
im confused what u mean
Like
Put the states and loc files back again in your mod
And eliminate the old ones
I have the "Cant play historical because of modified game" thing, how do i fix? ive tried doing game validation in steam but it still isnt fixing.
help please
@formal halo@white heath have you deleted the files from the HOI4 folder after making your mod?
the folders in documents/paradox interactive/Hearts of Iron 4
the folder named localisation is where the names of the states are from, if there is a folder like that in here that means you haven't put it in the actual mod folder
have you some mod activated?
or have you tried to mod your game?
No, i made one which bugged the game but im deleting it rn
you used the nudger?
if you used it, you have to delete the folders localisation, map and history in here (the path I named above) to make it work fine again
@woven lantern
here, but if you want to keep them you can ctrl+X them in a folder you made in mod
Ok i will try and see if this works thanks
if you still have the problem after that, you can send a screenshot of this folder to see if everything is in order
and be carefull, there are 2 folders named Hearts of Iron 4, you have to follow the path I said or you might delete folder from the actual game
ok it's the right place
localisation, history and map yes
but if you want to keep the modifications your made for a mod
nah forget the mod
ok so just delete them
yeah i deleted them
now try if the game works fine
no problem
if you want to make a mod without breaking your game, you can watch this video and the others he made, a bit old but still up to date https://youtu.be/aMhmkrYOvMk?si=UtqKf-koMTXSNPbu
This lesson will explain what is Debug mode and how to enable it in Hearts of Iron 4.

Ok i see
thank you
no problem mate
how to fix id of server Hoi4?
I've already cleared the cache, reinstalled the launcher, cleaned the documents
Doesn't help at all 😭
I mean I think it might be fine now since I've verified the game again but I will give an update later
your game works fine now?
You tried to make a mod on the nudger ?
no not at all lol
How did you made your mod?
I did most of my mod the traditional way but when it came to provinces and states a friend of mine did them for me
and I mean when I was working on my mod the states he added never caused any severe problems
he fixed most of the issues Im just confused how its affecting my base game since I didnt touch or copy the base game state local
Well if your base game is affect, that would maybe mean a folder that shouldn't be here landed in documents/paradox interactive/Hearts of Iron 4
possibly ill have to check it
And be careful, there 2 Hearts of Iron 4 folder, you have to follow this path to see the right one
If there is a folder named localisation here, it's probably the cause of your problem
Alr so there is also probably a map and history folder, no?
It could also affect your game so delete them too
It's kinda weird since you said you didn't used nudger because it's what the nudger do
I used nudger once but deleted the files it made
So, um, whenever I play in multiplayer and the game starts, Hoi4 freezes for no reason. Before, it used to happen about 7 months into the game, but now it happens instantly. I tried fixing it in different ways, like re-installing it and verifying the files, etc, but it still did not work. But in singleplayer mode works perfectly, and I do not freeze like in multiplayer
on my macbook hoi4 always gets stuck on loading at this point
vanilla, mods everything
where do I find the mod file location ?
Hey, I started to have, I think, drivers conflict recently.
[[ Launching SINGLEPLAYER-game ]]
Start-date: 1936.1.1.12
[09:08:13][1936.01.01.12][ingameidler.cpp:5039]: Start RestoreDeviceObjects
[09:08:44][1936.01.01.12][ingameidler.cpp:5189]: End RestoreDeviceObjects
[09:08:44][1936.01.01.12][effectbase.cpp:1691]: Something went wrong with the Conflict Risk stuff
This is the log before the game crashed.
My video driver generaly just crashes on the first bootup for some reason and after restarting it works flawlessly.
Tried to reinstall it, but It still keeps happening.
All your drivers are up to date?
Yeah, my system wasnt up to date tho, after updating no errors so far.
So its fixed after a system update?
There are no logs of errors and driver crashes so far, so...
Looks like its fixed. For now?
Yeah, It seems that windows game bar was severely outdated and inducing conflicts.
Every crash had windows game bar error before it in the events log.
Its weird how those thing usually turns out, a simple thing can make windows scream and crash like that
I've never seen a game crash bcs of gamebar before. But yea thats really weird. But its fixed now so guess its fine
Thats just my weird theroy, its probably just old crusty windows 10 that I havent updated for long time
And game bar is just a symptom of it
Probably. Its best to keep your stuff up to date ngl
Late game HOI is very laggy especially if your CPU isn't solid enough because of all AIs and data being created
laptop?
i mean u have a laptop?
then im not sure
i was about to say plug it in 😂
Wdym by lag? Like low fps or studders?
A 7600 shouldn't really struggle. What fps are you getting?
May I ask a question?
How do you plan to deal with cheaters in hoi 4 and are you aware of this problem?
hello I am having a problem with my version of the game and my friends version of the game. I believe it has to do with the checksum. Mine says it is (5a08). meanwhile his says (6ce3). We cannot do multiplayer because of this.
here are some things we have tried already:
Verifying game files
Deleting files
Clearing Cahce
turn on the same mods
We both have mods disabled
Not that I know of
I check in case
And if he do I sorry that I did not check
My game is stuck on the loading screen all the time. So i loaded it in debug mode and got this

thanks for the help
my crash reporter just crashed, any idea why?
Crash reporter "I report that I'm going to crash"
he said he does not
Hello, can anyone help me restore the old colors (my divisions are green, enemies are red)
I assume you guys have hoi from the same place
ie both from steam
Yes
then tell your friend to check his mods again
you have the vanilla checksum so its something on his end
hey again, he checked and he has millennium dawn, but he has it disabled he said
How does the checksum change?
I cant do achievements
Because of it
I have a "(S)"
And It wont go away
In the versione badge
Yeah
But um I think I’ve disabled the ones he doesn’t have but I could check again
Thanks Rommel….
huh
nah I'm just saying that I will double check
oh
Nah I was just messing around since ur rommel lol
thx btw anyways
Yea no luck but I wouldn't think that'd be the issue mainly because it HAS to be something on his end since his checksum is not correct
We can't figure out what though
He has no mods enabled
Hmm, I have but I will look deeper into it
Yea I think we'll settle on just reinstalling it, we didn't really wanna go there but eh it's fine
Thanks again man
there is a button the small one by the big ones in the right corner
its one of those
its funny cause i put the message "i tried to launch your shitty game and it crashed" and that hapopened lmao
lol
recently, i have HUGE latency spikes whilst playing with a group of people i normally play with (im talking from a normal 200ish ms to now recently 100k ms). PC specs for us is around the same, and my wifi hitting a consistent 300mb download and 200mb upload. is there anything else i can do to fix this issue?
do you have any background application that may be taking wifi?
HOI4 on Linux crashes after pressing play in the launcher.
does anybody know how to fix my division are in my territory and are shaking and not moving at all
anyone know why my friend cant join my game? same mods same version
Pls help
disable outdated/incompatible mods
Nope
Don't have any mods
Reinstalled the game
Verified files
If you have anything besides that it would be really helpful
Hi my friend is having issues connecting to my hoi4 server, the message connection time out pops up. Is it my fault or my friends fault?
game crashes on loading screen
deleted nearly 20-30 files to clear room
deleted all other mods i dont play
all background applications were closed
yeah road to 56
it will get to around half way in loading
then crash
it can run war thunder
with ease
my game keeps giving me a bootstrap error, does anyone know what causes this
hey so me and my friend are trying to play hoi4 multiplayer with millenium dawn and we have only MD enabled, no dlcs enabled and the same checksum in the launcher. but when i boot up i get a different checksum
does the game crash without mods or when loading another mod?
can somebody help meeeeeeee
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
same problem
does the game starts if you try the skip launcher setting ?
Yea
But when I play with skip launcher no DLC and no mods load so it's a normal hoi4
then make sure that you have the paradox launcher v2 installed, that your antivirus didn't flag it as a threat and that you've agreed to the EULA
yh just try and restart you computer
how do i check
I have a problem with my game, it doesn't save any game. I uninstalled it, scanned it through Steam, but nothing.
Can you help me ?
maybe you dont have enough space for save files
which is hard to happen but still check your storage
I have more than 230 GB available on my disk
And the error message? I think it's related but I don't understand
both
with and without mods
check your application on your PC or just download it again
I got it to work
yo
one mod i have is stuck initisializing
and it wont download
and it wont allow me to get other mod
i have a problem on vanilla where the black background for the ui just dosnt show up. for example when i open the reaserch tree i see the researchs but there is no background.
I am new and i wanna buy hoi4 from steam soon and its my first time buying a game from there and i was wondering how will all of the process work when i give my money to steam for the game
Go to the store page
Add game to cart
Go to cart
Buy things in cart
Use payment method of your choice
Win
I cleared my steam cache and steam is telling me to purchase hoi4 if I want to play it I cleared my steam cache any solutions?
Did you actually buy the game or did you only get it on your library when it was free to play for a bit
free to play
Ok thanks
Have you tried verifying the game files?

Trying to delete all mods to "restart" cause they were all out of date, these two mods are not in the "mods" folder and there is no option to delete in the launcher. Any way to get rid of them?? Thanks

I have ut but id does not work
anyone knows a fix for 100k ms lag that only recently occurs? (or how to manually set up the ports for hoi4)
Paradox launcher keeps popping up these errors and won’t load the game or any mods even though the “missing file” is where it’s supposed to be, does anyone know how to solve these issues?
I tried to do so many things to fix the error but I think only someone that knows the launcher well can handle this
it might be that the file route is too long
?
Basically
The way you get to the hoi4 mod folder or whatever
At the top it shows you how you got there
If that's too long it will cut of the data for the mod you add
So you wanna rename the folders
To as short as possible
That might not be the problem but I had it happen before
Hello! I am having trouble with the launcher, I m going ona trip so i was going to use my mac on highsierra 10.13.6 to play hoi4 but the launcher just crashes immediately after opening, cant even disable dlcs or mods or even press play, what do I do about this? And if I need to update my mac, what version is compatible?
hello,I am having this problem aswell,I looked at the fail code thingy,and it says "ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/[name]/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

why do my mods get stuck in downloading
one mod has been stuck downloading for the past 91 hours
i figured out a work around for the ghost trade bug
free india is an example of the ghost trade bug in the first image, india does not exist at all on the map, clicking india in the cores section just brings you to the global diplomacy screen as india no longer exists
yet... the ai is somehow trading and getting resources from them
so how do you beat the ghost trade bug?
malaysia and indonsia are both still on the map, but with indonesia i took all but one state which had no resources in it, malaysia i puppeted and gave them a piece of land in a seperate war then let them break free, kicked them from my faction and took the two original core states with resources
the result is a global monopoly on rubber which cripples the ais ability to make planes, mechanized and trucks
Launcher always shows the vanilla checksum
someone help me fix this
Can i add multiple dlc in a hoi4 game and when I'm done playing the current game take them off?
I realise when my utilisation reaches 50 percent my game will have occasional framrate drops and my utilisation will drop to a constant 7 percent and 0.020 GHz for a few minutes before going back to normal and repeating forever
Is there a way to install the game on Steam without installing all my Workshop mods with it?
I want to try the game on a different system wtihout clogging up the space with mods I won't use
Anyone got any suggestions on a laptop or rig I could play hoi4 on, the I can buy
I don’t think mobility will be an issue also Il be playing some mods with it as well
anyone know why it wont let me buy the subscription? it just says "steam failed to process payment" even when i have over double it in my wallet
it just says "processing" for the next billing date and has been like that
ive restarted my pc, logged into steam from my browser, put more funds, and it just wont work
pretty sure that since it's a subscription, not a single payment, steam funds won't work
its worked in the past
well idk then, contact steam support
ok then
i fixed it, i had a payment option it was trying to use but was getting declined
the launcher always shows the checksum for vanilla
it doesnt change
checksum ingame reflects the mods you have enabled
when i play hoi4 on geforcenow all my state names are called smth along the lines with "STATE_45"
Blacked out Hitler? Turn on German Historical Portraits in the DLC menu in the Paradox Launcher
Not sure if it's an issue due to GeForce Now, but try clearing your cache. Check pinned messages for how to do that. If it doesn't work, it might be a bug specific to GeForce Now and how it works
Can someone help me with this please? I do not understand how I am supposed to fix this and it wont let me out of debug mode that way so I can't play multiplayer. It all started after I started messing around in debug mode to make my own mod.
Hey, I used to run the game on Windows and it was fine, now I have switched over to Linux (Ubuntu) and the game, specifically with total overhauls but the base game does it too, stutters and lags aggressively during loading to the main menu. The audio from music playing is the best sign but it slows down my whole laptop. Everywhere I look says the game runs fine of Linux...
update: it is purely with total overhauls such as KaiserreduX
I fixed that problem but I have only some of the countries
The other countries are with the basic tree
If you don’t have any DLC that seems like the normal countries
Or do you mean you somehow lost focus trees that are now basegame
That’s… extremely peculiar. Not exactly sure what fixes could be done besides just making sure they’re still enabled and then verifying the integrity of your game
I’ll try and see if I can replicate the issue once I am at home
Okay thank you so much!
I verified the files and it said that they are working properly
🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, not sure what the issue is here. I guess try clearing cache to see if that does anything, or even reinstalling the game. I doubt they would work but it’s worth a try I guess
Yes. DLCs can be manually enabled or disabled, but specific saves must use the same DLC.
Check your temperatures
And still Notting
Yeah, I’ll see if I can replicate the issue on my PC and get back to you. If not, I’d suggest just leaving Historical portraits off and then reporting the glitch
Okay thanks!

Cool thanks
what
800-900 USA and probably just simple gaming I don’t plan to do intensive gaming
Is that including or excluding periphials such as monitor
Yeah
Unfortunately I could not find a way to replicate the issue. It is best to leave historical portraits off and make a bug report. It also might be possible to find a mod that does a similar thing https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-bug-reports.951/

So can I lower the setting to make it more comfortable?🤔
There arent really big differences in performance from the settings
the graphics differences between minimum and maximum are not huge

For more aid/verification you can go to the buildapc Discord I should add, just in case you wanna check I didnt do horribly
Why are ny dlcs not working it days unable to verify ownership
I try to open HOI4 but it crashes right after and i tried verifying integrity but its still doing it
@surreal fiber
please help me
disable mods
does the launcher shows up ?
yes
does it show a crash report when the game closes and when does it close exactly (if during loading screen at what loading desccription) ?
During loading screen when it crashes it shows me the error message and for me to report it to them
what loading stage does it crashes in ?
example : "calculating naval distance"
Loading gui
maybe try changing your resolution ? go from fullscreen to windowed borderless mode
it could be an issue with your screen size and the UI not fitting in too
Well i remember it being gui so im gonna check real quick but im most sure its gui
Im corrected it stops at loading sprites
Mind helping me for this?
do the first part #tech-support message
that's an antivirus issue or installation issue imo
HOI4 LOADED YAYYY i just change reso and graphics
But thanks for helping me some
Only sad part is that its laggy but it works
On Playsets I Click on No Mods and its not iron man compatible there are no mods or cheats its on normal mode to?
Verifyied all fliles on hoi4
Did that work?
Clear your cache. Check pinned comments on how to do so
When I speed up the game to the maximum, my game becomes slow, my pc is fine and I enjoy playing with iron man, how can I fix this?
What do you mean by slow? Low fps or the day running slower
one fix that worked for me was deleting all of the temp files and emptying my recycle bin
Hoi4 is cpu intensive btw
I hopped on a game and this time my FPS is REALLY SLOW and it's not usually like that
How do I make it faster
Eliminate other countries as they do daily calculations and their units also cause lag
hey quick question so I'm in a modded MP server and we've noticed a problem where sometimes after a rehost/hotjoin AI will get turned on some of the player countries, which necessitates another rehost from a fresh save... has anyone else noticed this problem?
btw the games are pretty large at around 20 people so it could be all sorts of things

I am not the one to revert your beliefs
But I am pretty sure homophobia is not tolerated
anyone know how to solve the error code 2503 and 2502?
my friend just got hoi4 but the launcher wont install because of that error code
Obvious question of does he have a legitimate version of the game
Dude chill out, not that deep if the devs have different political views than you
Separate the art from the artist, you know?
Also if you having different political views than the creators of a video game is a problem, you need to take a look at yourself
yes i have proof too
i mean he has the steam version
im assuming thats the real one
Please do 🙏
imagine wasting a ton of money just to deleting it because of a simple problem
go to %temp% and temp and enable permission
windows + r
then type temp
if there is a popup click allow
i think that what it says
thank you he prob went to bed by now but ill update you tomorrow to see if it fixxed🙏
aight
Okay so HOI4 suddenly starts to crash for me while in game and idk why-anyone can share some advice on how to fix it? 🙏
(I have the Fuhrerredux mod installed btw)

You got l games then
If hoi4 is the best one
Im trying to play with the mod last stand but it requires the game to be 1.14.6 and im currently on 1.14.7 and when i check steam, only 1.14.5 and below are availble. ANy help?
does hoi4 run better on fedora or debian if anyone uses linux
why is it that my game autosaves every week when i have the interval set to yearly?
So you just said you were deleting it because of the political views of the devs, and now you're saying your keeping it because it's the best game you had
Notice how politics and game quality don't correlate at all
ok so it did not work lmao
anyone know how to fix error codes 2503 2502?
the game works normally when you skip the launcher on steam
but when he starts hoi4 with the launcher
i had the same issue idk, i just had to reinstall fully i had to delete the game files from the folder and reinstall
Ironman mode
what can I do when i know someone whos stealing money becouse of hoi4?
what ? stealing how ?
if he's trying to scam people you may contact the platform he's doing it on and/or warn the devs/publisher of the game
but how
If the person in question is doing it on discord, submit a PDX bot ticket, if it's on other official paradox platforms use their ticket systems to bring it to the attention of admin
sorry for late responce but ill try it with him right now
it didnt work

is there a save fixing tool where i can fix the cloud saves the game entirely screwed up
i lost over 6 hours of progress because every single save i did yesterday besides it seems 1 autosave is unable to be loaded
because it thinks it was saved with an incompatible version of hoi 4, which it was not, it was this exact version
tried to resume it and this popped up
ive currently with this lost over a year and a half of progress, my entire war against the soviets
am i mayhaps cooked?
my game just keeps crashing the second i open it, is there any fix?
Verify file integrity?
How can i modify a binary saved non-ironman save?

how do you submit a ticket to moderation
dm @prime olive
What they were trying to get you to do was a manual cache clearing. Check the first pinned message for how to do that without annihilating your data.
oh
sorry man, idk what else you could do
Can I run Hoi4 on this laptop?
CPU:Ryzen7 5700U
GPU: Integrated Graphics Memory:16GB
SSD512GB
ye
Yes
around 1080p 45fps id hazard
barely
integrated graphics are terrible
not to mention if your CPU is terrible then your IGM is terrible
yea you could pull it off
but turn off most of the settings
iGPUs are bad, but its at least among the better iGPUs
its the laptop version
its literally terrible
plug a potato into your motherboard for a better result
4 speed isnt too bad

I keep getting told that I have a modified game and I cant fix it.
whats your checksum
How do I see that?

I launched with no mods and this is what I got
double check in that case, or verify files then
I verified the files and it didnt find anything wrong
is there a way to tell if a mod is compatible with ironman and achievements from the launcher not launch every time u wanna check the mod?

I'm trying to play Hoi4 for the first time in a while, and when I try to look at the mods I have installed, I get this error message
Can anyone help me find the cause of this error?
Look at?
Not even play?
Sorry, is that playing without the additions?
Or do you mean "the game doesn't work"?
Hi, the divison builder in hoi3 doesn't show like it should. i've tried fixing it on my own and with help from the internett, but it doesn't work. The first image is how my game is and the 2. one is from a yt vid. I would really like some help with this if anyone knows how to fix it, thanks.
hoi3 bro?
yes
I cant seem to start the paradox launcher, i've tried t do what people in the forums suggested and still nothing. This is what i get when i try to start the launcher manually.
<@&916727924093239336>
For anyone wondering, i've been using this specific thread to try and solve it. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/paradox-launcher-dont-work-only-process-in-task-manager.1621736/
The guy at the end mentioned that he had the launcher conflicting with the others which is not my case.
This started happening earlier this year and i've been starting the game with mods manually, but somehow the last update made me unable to start the game with mods entirely. I have no idea why.
Translation would be something like: The entrance point wasnt part of the process: DiscardVirtualMemory in the library of dynamic vinculations.
I've tried to skip the game in the firewall, run steam as admin, reboot whole windows and nothing.
<@&916727971820240976>
yes
i've done that twice
the launcher is the problem, not the game regardless
i've even installed the launcher straight from the forums
Would like some help regarding my HOI4 -
Paradox Launcher Issues
If you are having Issues with the Paradox Launcher and cannot launch it at all, you may need to uninstall it and reinstall.To do so, you will have to uninstall it via Windows' Add or Remove Programs Section. Then you may attempt reinstalling it by simply launching the game, however that does not always work and you may download the install via this link;
keeps eternally loading - have tried uninstalling steam, hoi4, all paradox stuff
nothing seems to work so yeah
I appreciate the help but i've already tried it, However i will do it yet again and tell you what happens afterwards, thanks
Alright! Hope we can work on a solution
would like a fix or something ty
Question. Do you have a lot of mods?
I think i personally deleted most of them, or atleast they should have been deleted, but previously yes
It could be that it is updating this change maybe... For how long has it been loading?
5 minutes and counting, to be fair i think ive let it for far more and nothing pretty much happened
still loading
kekw
Hrm you could try reinstalling the launcher itself... Like the previous person
Just the launcher not the full game
ill see and tell ya later
And it just happens with Hoi4/PDX no other games have absurdly slow loading times?
Honestly yes, all my other stuff is legit working correctly - ill see what the problem is
seemed to work kekw thanks alot, i guess it wasnt on my mind that the launcher could've been the problem, dunno why the sudden change
removed any launcher files i had, installed it already
Haha, the launcher and the game are 2 seperate things. Glad i was able to help out! Enjoying hoi4'ing

And it still does not work properly?
As you can see once i click it, it doesnt launches, afterwards it just doesnt start
the button shows "play" again
Try verifying file integrity
I am using windows 8.1 pro which might be whats causing the issue, however i was abled to use the launcher before the update of january
I dont think it should be the problem no
Aight glad to know that, i am verifying the files now
Verified correctly, no issues found
And launching again does nothing I suppose
it just finished validating i tried starting it 3 times and nothing sadly
Launching from the files also does nothing?
Hearts of iron 4
instead of the launcher
Oh i can play hoi4, the only problem is that its vanilla
no mods which is why i am doing this
Oh I see
I used to be abled to simply manually drag mods and play with them, but for some reason since blood alone i am no longer abled to do that
as the game starts vanilla
How many mods do you have? Maybe it could be a slight issue with that...
Only black ice, i will show you as i had to manually name them
I think I need to get someone smarter then me haha @whole smelt are you maybe able to help out here?
my only guess is that the mod starting files were moved (? as i've heard hoi4 team was doing optimization improvements and thats my only guess
alright to summarize, if i am abled to get an old version of the launcher (2023) OR to know how to manually place mods again i wont need to fix the launcher at all
Dont worry i do appreciate the help!!
Does the launcher show up when you click play on steam?
Or does it just skip to the game?
Neither, it just doesnt launch
I click play and it simply doesnt start anything at all
Issue is probably the launcher then. Have you tried reinstalling it?
Yes, Daniel suggested the same and i removed it entirely then reinstalled it from the paradox forum
I used the windows application remover, then manually searched for any file that was related to the launcher
To entirely remove it from the computer
So just deleted it in windows settings?
I guess yeah
That should work. And you installed it again from the website? Or by just launching the game?
And neither worked?
And trying to start the launcher?
Like i said, its been a problem since the launcher was updated around january for some reason that update messed up with me
Still the same, daniel suggested that too
I wasnt abled to start the launcher at all
Any other pdx games that use the launcher you have installed?
In case you didnt read i am using windows 8.1 pro which might be whats causing the issue but i have no idea
No, i can use victoria 2's launcher tho
but i dont own any other paradox games other than those 2
Yea the pdx launcher isn't compatible with windows 8.1 according to the pdx twitter
oh i see
Is there any other way i can get the 2023 version?
I would rather use this windows as its a personal one i made without bloating for more optimization
my computer is too old to be playing games with good fps without this windows 😭
I need modding tool 😄

Hi, I'm writing here because something quite unusual happened to me.
Today when I opened HOI4 I saw that some saves were accompanied by a flag that said "Contact the devs if you see this", do you know what that means?
Thanks in advance!
can you show
You mean a screenshot?
ya
it's related with the mod
not hoi4 itself
go ask on the millenium dawn discord
Thank You!
I CAN'T FIX THE GRIDBOXTYPE FOR ZE TECHNOLOGY PLZ HELP

but I have the gridboxtype in it
ermm can someone help me?
how do i fix this as it happens even when I don't have mods and enabled and I have reinstalled and uninstalled multiple times to fix it
remove those mods from the playset as they aren't present on your disk (click on the "x" that will appear once you hover on those)
If you recently moved the game files you may need to mod the mod/workshop folder with it
same as above, click on the "x" to remove mods from playsets
Am I the only one who cant open my launcher?
Let me send a picture
Just updated my launcher, restarted it. And then this happens
I had the same problem but when I asked for help some dumbass told me to delete the paradox interactive folder (DO NOT DO IT) and now I can't even play the game 🙂
verify your game files
If you mean this thing on steam I already did it and it didn't work
My friend is on this screens and the game tell him "we do not have read/write access to the directory containing the game data" and then, it's write "An unexpected error occurred while initializing the database. Please check if you can access the *folder name file"
Can someone help me please ?

I also need help. My game isn't working because some dumbass told me to delete the Paradox interactive file. Even though I uninstalled and Installed the game and the launcher two times the game doesn't work and I still can't find the Paradox Interactive file anywhere on my computer. When I try to open the launcher it just keeps loading without any result (image below) and when I choose the skip launcher option nothing happens (video below) please someone help me I'm addicted to this game and I don't how much more I can hold out.
the text translates to: "We can't load the game settings. Make sure that you have access to the Documents folder"
