[unreal fjord]

and it autoupdates itself

and after that i cant open it again

unless i delete every single file related to the pdx launcher

[raven ridge]

What distro?

[unreal fjord]

debian

hyprland

it used to work on kde though

[raven ridge]

Launcher logs?

[unreal fjord]

where do they generate

in .local?

[unreal fjord]

where do they generate

[raven ridge]

I'm not sure

[unreal fjord]

pdx launcher creates files in like 5 different locations

[raven ridge]

Check the steam location

[raven ridge]

Why is skipping the launcher not an option?

If you want mods I'm pretty sure you can enable them manually

[unreal fjord]

if i m playing mp i d need to turn mods on/off

[unreal fjord]

i mean this is the "i give up on fixing the issue"

sure, worst case scenario, i delete all launcher data every time i want to load/unload a mod. sure it could work

[raven ridge]

Yeah it is, but it might as well be the easier option

[raven ridge]

You could make a script for automating that pretty easily

[unreal fjord]

yea

i think i might have an idea

launcher tries to run in background

when u open hoi4

right?

it doesnt close itself (app quit)

[raven ridge]

Don't know

Can't check now

[unreal fjord]

doesnt display anything in the settings

rm -rf ~/.config/paradox-launcher-v2/
rm -rf ~/.steam/steamapps/compatdata/394360/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Paradox\ Interactive/Launcher*

i managed to make it work if i run this before launching it

also i found what the issue is in fullscreen. mouse input is not captured properly. when im pushing it against one of the edges, it goes a little back. so it was never stuttering, it was my cursor teleporting 5 pixels back and forth

[inner lotus]

So i play HOI4 on a Surface Pro 7 and turns out on multiplayer i have a whopping 10,000 ms so is there any way i can improve this

[cyan basin]

how do i delete mods?

[minor flax]

depends

if you subscribed them from steam workshop, first unsubscribe them

if its local version, just delete folder of that mod's and descriptor

also remove mod from launcher playset(s)

[faint fable]

How

@minor flax

[minor flax]

did you installed these

NET Framework and vc++

[faint fable]

no

[minor flax]

check pinned messaged here

there is links to system libraries needed

#tech-support message

that

[faint fable]

K

[shut burrow]

im having issues getting into a mp game i have re installed delete hoi4 in paradox file disabled all mods and subscriptions and double checked game version

and verified game files

[thorny python]

I'm not seeing any actual bonuses being given to the armored car divisions. I think only the basic changes were put into the game, but the additional buffs from AT/AA/Arty are not currently functional

[thorny python]

Disregard, I guess I just had to clsoe and open my game again to see it refresh

the gun techs are what improve it, I thought it was the improving steps that gave a bonus

[unreal fjord]

how is this related

[thorny python]

I was not seeing buffs being applied to the cars when I was looking at the artillery improvements because it's in the gun tech, not the improving tech. It also didn't apply until I built a division and supplied it.

[unreal fjord]

no like

this is kind of stuff thst u ask in general or ask for help

here it s usually tech-related

as in game crashes idk why

or stuff like that

[thorny python]

I thought this would fall under bugs

[unreal fjord]

for that there s a ticket system

[thorny python]

appreciate it

[unreal fjord]

also u have a much higher chance

of getting an answer

if u use the previously mentioned chats

[thorny python]

my first thought, honestly, was maybe my checksum was wrong and i did a full refresh / validation

[unreal fjord]

armored cars are dogshit anyway

nobody uses them

[young siren]

why there is no meme channel ?

[vivid zenith]

because no funny allowed

[young siren]

bruh

[smoky parrot]

how do i add steam games on paradox launcher v2? Since i cant click on play and run hoi4 normally with it, maybe this can work? or is there no way?

[orchid crystal]

#off-topic

[smoky parrot]

nvm fixed it

[finite flame]

Someone can help this Launcher Error: Trouble Communicating with Steam i try evrythink

[wanton hamlet]

bro i have a bug where sometimes clicking a unit or drag selecting some units will select every unit under the field marshal

which means every attack order gets messed up

[spice sand]

Does anybody know how to locate more ram to the game

[whole smelt]

Afaik HOI4 doesn't limit its ram usage in any way so unless your ram is maxing out its probably something else thats causing whatever your issue is

[spice sand]

oh alright thanks for the info

[storm wraith]

I need help I'm on a different version of the game
I've cleared my cache, removed the mods, verified the files, re installed
it didnt work
It appears the correct version in the launcher

[twin geode]

does anyone know how to change versions
if the version isnt listed on the hoi4
option

[minor flax]

you need beta access code

[whole smelt]

https://pdxint.at/backdategames

That should work

[potent pulsar]

My friends PC has 4 gigs of Ram and meets the minimum requirements to play but his game keeps crashing

[alpine shard]

Whats his cpu and gpu, and what graphics is he playing at

[past mantle]

hey guys kinda off topic but i wanted to ask if there was any kind of fix for hearts of iron 4 because whenever i run TFR mod it usually crashes right before it loads the game menu this happens with every mod, i tried to verify the integrity of the files and even uninstalled and redownloaded hoi4 but nothing seems to work so im here simply to ask for little help :/

even the game without mods crashes right before taking me to the menu

[finite flame]

Launcher Error: Trouble Communicating with Steam pls help this

[storm wraith]

repost

[empty pasture]

Don't know if I should've posted that here or #ask-for-help-here

[vivid zenith]

I mean, if you're only 2 players that normal

[empty pasture]

I mean it is shown that only host is in the lobby

Not either of us except for the host

Cant play because of that

Screenshot from my friend.

[ancient orbit]

how do i fix this

[fierce meadow]

Recently I have got a new monitor after my old one had broke, anyways, when I get on HOI4 main game not the launcher or anything, everything gets like fuzzy and the countries and UI and wording on the screen is like fuzzy and stuff, but no other game does it. Any Ideas?

[minor flax]

maybe try delete game settings file in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hears of Iron IV

[fierce meadow]

ok

[minor flax]

what monitor you have

resolutionwise

[fierce meadow]

3480x1600

[minor flax]

ugh

big

ok changes of plans

launch game once and close game

settings file will be recreated, open it and make gui_scale 1.5 or more

[fierce meadow]

done

[minor flax]

may not work if you have different scaling on computer itself

[fierce meadow]

i see a little improvement, can i change the scaling on the computer?

[minor flax]

ugghm in windows 10/11 settings - system - display and there is scale

[fierce meadow]

yep

that fixed it

thank you

[minor flax]

ok

btw somebody probably should make submod for bigger monitors resolutions

[ancient orbit]

My game keeps consistently crashing on december 26th 1943 in the gates of versailles mod

[minor flax]

sorry

you play mod

go on server of that mod if there is any

is this mod up to date at least?

[ancient orbit]

it always happens when i try to build something

[rain lake]

guys i got a question server ID wont show up when i try to host a game

how do i fix that?

[surreal gorge]

is multiplayer not working for anyone else

none of my freinds including nobody else can join our lobbys

[solar wave]

The translation for the red text in this focus is not correct in the French version of the game. It omits the communism language and makes it sound as if a civil war will launch within 2 years regardless.

[surreal fiber]

Please report it on the HOI IV forums

[solar wave]

ah ok.

[tropic arrow]

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with launching Hearts of Iron IV through the Paradox Launcher. When I try to launch the game, it takes about 10 minutes for the game to start, which didn’t happen before.

I don’t have any mods installed, and the game worked fine previously. The game works fine once it finally starts, but the main issue is the long delay during the launcher.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

Deleted Paradox Launcher data from %localappdata% and %appdata%.

Verified game files through Steam.

Renamed the settings folder in Documents/Paradox Interactive.

Reinstalled the Paradox Launcher.

Launched the game directly via a .bat file to bypass the launcher, but the issue persists.

[kind bolt]

For some reason the base game models for light aircraft are just not appearing and instead its the gott ones and thats it

one reinstall later and it didnt fix the issue

other types seem fine

[kind bolt]

<@&916727924093239336> any ideas?

I cant seem to figure out how to fix this

does this ping even do anything ugh

[kind bolt]

guess ill see if anyone wants to respond tomorrow... welp

[vivid zenith]

bro, it was 5am when you pinged, a time where european people sleep ya know

[vivid zenith]

any mods on ?
did you verify the game files integrity ?

[tropic arrow]

[floral otter]

Have you opened the game with Task Manager on the side? Could help if we got the hardware possibilities out of the way

[molten swan]

when I make a new playlist it just shows this and this error never occured before

[floral otter]

<@&916727924093239336> I crashed which part of the crash report should I send here?

[molten swan]

nvm fixed

[floral otter]

Crashes at loading graphics game-wise

[vestal totem]

What happened

Have u tried verify integrity

Disable mods

Clear cache

[floral otter]

Done

[floral otter]

Done

[floral otter]

Done

All of them same thing happens

[floral otter]

?

[vestal totem]

Try sending the crash report

[floral otter]

if you're talking about the error text document, then sure one minute

[floral otter]

can someone help

[tropic arrow]

yes i open and its the same

and i need to wait 10 min

and the game open

[floral otter]

Have you cleared cache / disabled mods (or even DLCs) / verifying the game integrity incase there's any steamworks you need to install? Also have you tried reinstalling the game as a final solution?

[tropic arrow]

yes

i think only the dev have a solution

[floral otter]

Well I have had problems with the new update too, such as the game not opening

[kind bolt]

Apologies and no mods + full reinstall cache clearing as per instructions here alongside verifing with steam

neither fixed the issue

also just cleared the cache via launcher and no dice either

seems to only be germany, which is only displaying jet models for the fighters

US seems fine

<@&916727924093239336> any suggestions?

[whole smelt]

What DLCs do you have?

[kind bolt]

all main dlcs besides bosporus, trial, and graveyard

I did a germany game a week or two ago and had bf109 models and stuff but now I only have jets as options and the generic fighter

[whole smelt]

Any cosmetic DLCs?

[kind bolt]

no I dont have those, only the main dlcs minus the ones I mentioned

[whole smelt]

Like the armor or plane packs?

[kind bolt]

Im mainly wondering why even the vanilla germany models are missing (ie bf109, stuka, etc) as options here and only jets and gotter stuff are options

[whole smelt]

Yea thats weird. I'm trying to see if it might be any of the DLCs messing with what unlocks

Yea its one of the DLCs. I remove the ones you don't have and the models disappear

[kind bolt]

oh thats weird

paradox really wants me to shill the money out I see

[whole smelt]

Its probably just a mistake

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-bug-reports.951/

you can post it on the bug report forums

[kind bolt]

idk how to do bug reports

I dont even think I have a fourm account lol

[whole smelt]

Do you have a paradox account?

[kind bolt]

idr

apparently yeah

[whole smelt]

Then you can use that to log into the forums

[kind bolt]

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/plane-3d-models-missing-for-germany.1734535/

done

now to see it either never get resolved or resolved in a year or so... yay

[whole smelt]

Wait apparently the german models are part of the eastern front pack

So its not bugged

[kind bolt]

guh?

[whole smelt]

Yea they're part of eastern front planes

[kind bolt]

the bf109 isnt included in that tho

it should be there

and it isnt showing up, just that generic country fighter model

[whole smelt]

Isn't the BF109 a 2d model?

not 3d model

[kind bolt]

I remember having a 109 model option on a previous run I did

actually having a few options but they dont show up now

[whole smelt]

Weird. Idk then

[vestal totem]

Whats ur pc specs

[floral otter]

i5 12th gen integrated graphics and 16gb ram, i had run hoi4 smooth and normal a few days prior, just updated a driver though, will be trying to open it today again

[whole smelt]

Might be the driver update. You can try and revert it but thats kind of a pain

[oak flame]

does anyone know how to fix no id bug in mp server??

[vague plinth]

Why I always have different checksum with my friend even in the same version and have same mod

[torpid cargo]

the game is pretty laggy and i dont know why is it bad optimization or is my pc just not strong enough to run it smoothly (i got a rtx 3060 a i5-9400 and 16 gb ddr4 ram)

it could also be because i have lots of troops

[whole smelt]

Wdym by laggy?

Like lows fps?

[torpid cargo]

yea

it reaches around 10 fps

and it stays there until i pause

[whole smelt]

No mods?

[torpid cargo]

keep in mind i kept it at the lowest speed

[torpid cargo]

i have milennium dawn installed but i wasnt using it

[whole smelt]

That shouldn't be happening yea. Are you running anything else or just HOI4?

[torpid cargo]

discord

my browser

and wallpaper engine

[whole smelt]

Did you check your CPU usage and see whats using it?

[torpid cargo]

cpu was around 40% and gpu was going from 0% to 20%

i tried putting on lower settings but it didnt help

[whole smelt]

And no other game lags?

[torpid cargo]

nope

i can run ghost of tsushima

high settings

60 fps smoothly

[whole smelt]

Weird. Might just be wallpaper engine messing with HOI4. Have you tried running without it?

[torpid cargo]

as of now i havent tried

i did think it might have something to do with my new wallpaper

since my pc started taking slightly longer to turn on ever since i put it on

[torpid cargo]

i also was running the game normally before with just a little stutter every once in a while with wallpaper engine on

so im not sure

[whole smelt]

Try running without it

[torpid cargo]

aight

wait does having a large ammount of ships and planes lower performance?

bc i do remember having a couple thousand of both

[whole smelt]

What in game year was it?

[torpid cargo]

since i did use a bit of cheats it was around 1939

[whole smelt]

Might just be the planes and ships. Try starting a new game and see if also lags

[torpid cargo]

it might also be because of the ammount of devisions i got

yeah

the lag is basically gone

(low fps)

but it does drop every once in a while

[whole smelt]

24 fps is normal for HOI4

[torpid cargo]

it did drop to around 10

last game

[whole smelt]

Yea but thats bcs its maxing out your CPU way too much

[torpid cargo]

i see

ty

[kind bolt]

ugh Im going to have to wait ages for a bugfix...

I cant find any good mods that solve this either

[fierce vigil]

Idk if this belongs here but

Ever since 1.15 the Nudger has been pretty busted

As shown above supply hubs don't show, and trying to edit any province shows up as if there was a hub

Deleting or Updating both CTD

Exporting State/Strategic Region files is also busted, with it usually being made in a wrong format (History > States > History > States) instead of (History > States)

[tropic otter]

Since the MIOs came out, the Italian MIO "OM" is bugged. I always hoped that with a new patch they would fix it, instead every time I have to correct the name of the Focus "New Industrialization Program" because in the MIO it is written in Italian "New Ricostruzione Industriale".
As you can see in the image. There are also a couple of lines below.

[potent pulsar]

i3 8100T and UHD 630 and idk

It keeps crashing before he can change

Sorry for the extremely late response i didnt have time

[alpine shard]

Oh thats rough

Ok how much ram does he have?

[potent pulsar]

4

[viscid mirage]

My game crashes at "Calculating peace conference" as Germany losing the war to the allies, after they have invaded the Soviets.
Can anyone see from the crash.log if it can be fixed?🥹

[alpine shard]

Yeah he wont be able to play with them specs

[potent pulsar]

Dangit

[alpine shard]

I know it says he meets minimum requirements, but thats largely out dated compared to the modern game

[potent pulsar]

I think he just needs more ram

Cuz HOI4 eats alot

[alpine shard]

That would let him open it atleast

[potent pulsar]

Not saying it‘d run well

But

„Playable“

[alpine shard]

It would be below playable

I used to try playing with specs very close (slightly worse) and the game ran horribly

Id almost recommend using cloud gaming if at all possible

[potent pulsar]

Dang k

[surreal fiber]

I wonder if an old version might eat less RAM because less features, or more because less optimization

[hidden nimbus]

Hello.
I am a mod developer, is there a place where I can see Paradox TOS rewarding dlc content in mods?
Spesificly, do I have to add DLC checks if I plan to add SAMs as a normal technology with custom SAM variants, and new ship modules that allow normal ships such as destroyers to shoot missiles.

[whole smelt]

The modding policy is included in the EULA under the user generated content part. But I'm pretty sure you'd need to add DLC checks for those sorts of things

https://legal.paradoxplaza.com/eula

Might get a better answer if you'd ask in the #modding channel tho

[hidden nimbus]

Already asked there a couple times.
Also, just rea dthe part of the EULA rewarding user generated content and it doesn't really mentions anything about it ;-;

[whole smelt]

Pretty sure its covered under the unlawful part. Since giving access to DLC content for free would be illegal

[hidden nimbus]

My issue here is that idk if it exactly counts as dlc content as I am using custom modules and equipment.
Ofc the ship modules are locked behind man the guns.
What I am using and why I am confused are just funtions that were added in the update, such as the new air missions and the allow equipment command that was always part of the module code, with the missile launcher type.

[whole smelt]

Wait so what exactly are you adding?

[hidden nimbus]

New ship modules that allow any ships to shoot missiles (locked behind man the guns, cuz of the designer).
More missile equipments that use the SAM mission, they are normal equipment you research instead of a special project.

Would any of em require got dam?

[whole smelt]

Wdym SAM missions?

You mean the rocket missions?

[hidden nimbus]

The new one they added.

[whole smelt]

Idk which ones those are

Thats why I asked what you mean

[hidden nimbus]

It is used only by the SAMs rockets in vanila, yes.

I think, idk.

But planes can technicaly use it too.

(I am pretty sure it is just an interception mision that also kills your plane).

[whole smelt]

You mean the ones that require the rocket site?

[hidden nimbus]

Yes.

[whole smelt]

Those are base game afaik. I mean you can test it by disabbling the DLC on steam and checking if you have access to it

[hidden nimbus]

The special project to get SAMs requires the dlc.
But the mission and equipment themselves don't.

[whole smelt]

But in your mod you wouldn't need to do the special project to unlock the variants?

I feel like it'd still require the DLC but since its complicated I'd just ask on the forums

[hidden nimbus]

Nope, they would be normal techs.

[hidden nimbus]

Alr, thx.
Any idea about the ship missiles?
Or should it be fine just requiering MtG?

[surreal fiber]

The UELA is so vague they could apply it to any mod

Dont use content from DLC folders, and dont remove DLC checks and you should usually be fine

[hidden nimbus]

Alr.

[surreal fiber]

There's no defined line, just don't blatantly make DLC content free and youll be fine

[hidden nimbus]

This will be avirable without dlcs, exept for some naval modules you get from them, which require MtG.

[surreal fiber]

Probably fine

[hidden nimbus]

Alr, thx a lot.

Deleting the image cuz I don't wanna leak the mod's update.

[void briar]

My launcher no longer works. It opens, but when I click play or resume nothing happens

It's not a paradox problem since Stellaris ran fine

[high mural]

Why cant I escape fullscreen? I've tried changing to windowed and resolutions both in the launcher and the game and the settings file, but all it does is launch it at fullscreen with a lower resolution and a bugged cursor

[old roost]

flame tank stuck on complete, wont finish, is there a console command to fix?

cant even assign scientist

[pure cairn]

cant select any divishions in a multi-player with a friend im in a single player game rn to see if its just multi-player and nope

this was our most sucestfull game as the usa

[kind bolt]

Apparently it was changed recently that the BF109 and such are now part of the EFP

so paradox is actively forcing ppl to buy that instead of having the 109 be vanilla.

gotta love scummy monetization practices

[orchid crystal]

Isn't the BF-109 the one with the orangish yellow nose in vanilla?

I thought it is still in the game. I don't have the plane pack

[open gazelle]

my game keeps crashing

and i already tried reinstalling

happens whenever I load a save

[kind bolt]

its the german fighter of ww2 so yeah fairly recognizable (technically the yellow nose wasnt just a 109 thing the FW-190 had it and the 262 in some cases but IK what you mean)
and not anymore apparently just the jets and the generic country fighter model (the green crappy knockoff 190 thing)

I got told it got removed from vanilla and added to the Eastern front pack

I dont have the plane pack either but when I dont run it... surprise its not there anymore after an update

[warm fable]

hi, Messrs. Official discord chat. Please any one be together with my Paradox Launcher trouble? From Japan with all my heart. "Game initialization failed. The reason for this is unknown. Please check the logs or reinstall the game."

When I start hoi4, the launcher opens just like normal, but I get this error and can't proceed.
I tried reinstalling the launcher and hoi4 and checking the integrity of the application files in STEAM, but it didn't solve the problem. If anyone has experienced the same symptoms and knows how to solve it, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
*Google Translation

[warm fable]

I thought that maybe it was because I downloaded the launcher from steam, so I used the official Paradox installer, but it showed an unknown error and I couldn't even install it. Please be aware of this issue as well. ”An unknown error occurred during installation”

[void briar]

This persists, I need help

[full spear]

guys i tried to load up the fire rises mod on my game which is at 1.16.0 and i get the map definition error

when i run it without the mod its fine but how do i play the mod

[ancient orbit]

I reinstallled the game and deleted all my mods and it still gives me this error messsage

[ancient orbit]

I get that without any mods

its probably the game

reinstall no 2

[torpid cargo]

is it normal if my game takes anywhere from 4-10 minutes to load in

[vivid zenith]

yes if it's installed on a HDD disk and if you alt+tab each time you start the game

[ancient orbit]

same result

I will completly clear all files regarding Hoi$

[ancient orbit]

HOI4 works once more

All I had to do was delete all files

[whole smelt]

Did you check what the error log says

?

Oh nvm you got it fixed

[ancient orbit]

@whole smelt

[open gazelle]

hey can somebody share the files for these DLCs?

My save file is killing itself because the DLCs are missing and its having a kniption

I tried restting and reinstalling, Its still missing the DLCs

also, is there a bug where some countries just cease to exist?

like the flags and countries?

cause ive stolen a ton of destroyers and equipment that have "flags" to designate their origin, but the flag slot is empty

also I dont have any mods

also might there be a limit to the date in 1.16?

or how many forts you can build?

like a limit that once you pass a certain number of something breaks the games code?

[vivid zenith]

https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/fx6mwt/hoi4_crash/

[open gazelle]

I did that

Bugs still there

But thank you

[whole smelt]

DLC files won't help. Try dissabling and reenabling them on steam and it should reinstall them. Or verify the gamefiles

[open gazelle]

My friend

I did that

But it’s more complex than that

I left out

This only happens with one save

[whole smelt]

Does it say it won't work when you look at the save in menu?

Like it gives a specific incompatibility error?

[open gazelle]

Nope

The save i want to load is the top one

I’m currently playing on the one titled SAFE

[honest granite]

is it a modded save?

judging by the date it also might be crashing because of an integer failure (it going negative bc of how many of a certain equipment there is) because the game has gone on for too long

[open gazelle]

Nope

Zero mods

[open gazelle]

Mmmm thats possible

Given the date tho ive played to ‘91

But in version 1.15

Equipment could also be possible

Cause i have close to the integer limit

[honest granite]

there's numerous different ways for it to fail via equipment, especially the farther out from 1955 you go

[open gazelle]

2 billionish

[honest granite]

game was designed moreso to go up to 1960-ish max

[open gazelle]

Divided by 1k

So 2 million

[honest granite]

yeahhh that'd start crashing at that number

[open gazelle]

Its the big integer limit divided by 1000

So maybe thats it?

I have 2ish million

[honest granite]

I'd wager that is exactly it, considering there is a save from the same playthrough that you've already marked 'safe' that is only 5 years behind

a lot of equipment can be made in 5 years, especially once a crap tonne of Civs and Mils are in the game

[open gazelle]

Yeah cause ive hit the integer limit

Just checked my equipment is stuck at 2.147 mil

Which is of course 2^31

Does anybody know if the game is based on the 32 bit integer limit?

[honest granite]

I dont remember which one it is based off of, but after 2 million its hit or miss

[open gazelle]

Yeah….

Ok

Lemme clear some equipmenet

[honest granite]

I know some people's saves immediately crash after 2 milly, some way after, but after 2 milly it is always gonna crash just a matter of when

[honest granite]

might not work either if there are AI in the game as well, even they can have that much by this time

sorry, AI Majors that is

[open gazelle]

Ok

Cleared all the equipment

Wow

The game runs substantially faster

I deleted 2 mil infantry equipemenf and it doubled the game speed

[honest granite]

its a big perfomance hit considering it checks if your units have the equipment daily iirc?

because its always checking for reinforcement

so is no wonder it runs substantially better once you remove a bunch of it

[open gazelle]

Bruh

This game could be optimized so much…

[honest granite]

its optimized already, its just that the game is moreso optimized for games to go up to 1960ish max, anything beyond that is sorta ok until you hit integer limits

though they're always trying to optimize it more, there are ofc limitations with the engine

[open gazelle]

True true

I give them credit for an excellent game

Just i prefer long games

[honest granite]

entirely fair, the game could do with longer times imo, but I am ofc not a coder, simply part of the Community Team

I think it currently runs perfectly fine until its intended time, though performance varies based off pc specs and whatnot

but I'm not sure I should technically count because I am entirely garbage at this game

XD

[open gazelle]

Hahahaha

Im pretty garbage

I love the game for the satisfaction of conquering and military/country building

Im not at all into micro

Ill build the strongest divisions and equipment then set battle plans lol

Usually my superior division design melts the ai lol

Ik

Ok

It still didnt work

But

It mightve solved issue

Its still yelling at me tho for the “missing” dlcs

[honest granite]

yeah idk why it would be asking for DLC's at that junction

it doesn't quite make sense unless you started the save with said DLC's

just a word to the wise for the future, though, I'd suggest not asking directly for the files bc that is a lil' bit of piracy which is a nono

[open gazelle]

I mightve

Errr

Wait a minute

[honest granite]

if you start any save with DLC and then removed it later on, it'll go all funky

[open gazelle]

Its invalid achievements

Idk

I aint no coder 😭

[honest granite]

I mean same lmao

I'm just trying to see if there is a fix for it, but the Integer thing is all I got

[open gazelle]

Thats what it looks like

[quiet mirage]

hi it's normal bug

[open gazelle]

One thing about dlcs then the rest are all achievements

[open gazelle]

Brother

What is that

[honest granite]

what in the Elder Scrolls is going on

[open gazelle]

😉

[honest granite]

is that a bug that happens often?

[quiet mirage]

juste maintenant

[honest granite]

I'm an Anglophone but I know french, but that is one odd bug

[honest granite]

if it happens more than once, please make a bug report out of it

because that is just.... odd

[quiet mirage]

ok i report in game

???

[honest granite]

either in game or on the forums

there's a sub forum in the HOI area for it

[quiet mirage]

euh ok i don't understand but ok

[honest granite]

there's the one in game, and there is one at this link below:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-bug-reports.951/

both are good to use

Ben seulement si sa se reproduit plusieurs fois

@honest granite my friend is there a way to set the date back?

[honest granite]

nope

[open gazelle]

😢

Nahhh

No where in a save where i can do some magic?

[honest granite]

I mean, there is save editing but that won't help you here I dont think

[quiet mirage]

ok i am on forum paradox and my friend go ticket with pictures

[open gazelle]

Im willing to try anything lol

[quiet mirage]

sorry for my english lol*

[open gazelle]

but ofc, I am glad to be of assistance, though my technical knowledge is not up to par

[open gazelle]

Hahaha you good friend

I’m Swiss but sounds pretty American lol

Your aid has been supremely helpful tho

[void briar]

Why would the launcher not be able to start the game?

I tried starting the game directly from local files and it still wouldn't run, so I figured out it's not a launcher issue.

[hazy dawn]

so when i select troops some of them dont get selected

[vivid zenith]

what happens when you click on "play"

[safe crystal]

someone explain me why in adjusters and in combat stats are different?

[vivid zenith]

because you're not using the same armament

seems straightforward enough

some armaments have different stats

[safe crystal]

what the difference between this two indicators?

[vivid zenith]

AT cannons apply the stats immediately for some reason (probably because it's an arty tech)

so it's not counted as a modifier

[safe crystal]

thanks

[drifting shard]

I have an issue. When I open the game I get 2 speeches that play back to back for the whole time until I quit. I think its the Death or Dishonor DLC ad and something else. They do not turn off if I change any of the in game audio settings. Can someone help?

[deep magnet]

hoi4 tech support

[drifting shard]

Just figured it out. I had the HOI4 steam page open on the steam interface and it was playing the trailers. Woops

[void briar]

Nothing. Like, literally nothing happens, even in the background, I've checked with task manager.

[acoustic token]

is there a way to stop the game from stuttering because of autosave in ironman?

[primal crystal]

how can i easy delete all local saves

[full spear]

whenever i try and open the international market (2000+ sales) my game crashes. Any way to fix this?

[radiant moon]

i keep getting timed out when i try and join multiplayer and when i try and host i dont see server ID

any advice?

[civic sparrow]

Help, hoi4 keeps freezing

I have my driver updated and I don’t have any conflicting or old mods

[vivid zenith]

go into Documents > Paradox Interactive > HOI4 > Save games
then delete the files you want

[subtle jacinth]

so i am playing with 2 mods who are only playable on the 1.5 version of the game those are the mods in the 2 picture. But it keeps giving this error code does anybody know how to fix it

i have verified the game multiple times and it doesnt give me a problem if i do so

[surreal fiber]

In those old versions there was no launcher so the executable it searches doesnt exist

I think best option is to just use a 3rd party launcher

[full spear]

Help

[patent halo]

i need help with my hoi
it wont start
keeps telling me theres an error

ive done everything and it still wont work

[finite flame]

Launcher Error: Trouble Communicating with Steam pls help this i try everything

[blazing notch]

Hoi4 kept stop responding every 2 minutes for a few seconds, any solutions?

[stuck atlas]

why does japan keep turning into japaense shogunate even if i dont have man the guns or la resistance. i swear i dont have any mods

[minor flax]

japan got content in waking the tiger, which integrated to base game

[stuck atlas]

oh

[shadow sage]

which setting makes me see if the division is infantry for example or smth else

[trim surge]

You enabled NaTO symbols in settings, set it to "off"

[wind hedge]

Well you can see it if you memorize NATO symbols

[stuck atlas]

wow i didnt know that was a thing

should try it for shits and giggles

[whole smelt]

Probably just the game autosaving. If you aren't on ironman you can set the time between autosaves in settings. If you're on ironman you can't change it. But its not an issue with the game or your pc

[blazing notch]

The problem is that autosave only occurs every in game month after game is not paused

My case is literally paused and doing designer or checking research tree or focus tree

Even when doing nothing during paused also will stop responding every two minutes

[whole smelt]

Weird. What're your specs? And is there anything else running or just HOI4?

[blazing notch]

I meant stop responding that even task manager will show not responding

[blazing notch]

Intel i5 8300H, GTX1050, 20GB RAM

Other paradox games doesn't have this issue, only HoI4 since GoE update

[whole smelt]

Specs seem fine. Have you tried verifying your gamefiles?

[blazing notch]

I did, though I do need to note I within GFW atm fyi

[turbid vapor]

[void briar]

Someone had a similar problem and fixed it by changing the zoom. How do I do this?

[wheat crypt]

Hi! I need some help with the launcher in Arch-Linux...
The laucher isn't showing up after i click "play" in Steam, i'm using HOI4 natively without Proton

And i'm sure that it is a Launcher issue, as if i delete the folder for the newest version, the launcher launches(The game works fine, if i click skip and enter directly via steam the game is all fine)

The version i'm using is the openbeta--2025.5-rc

[turbid vapor]

i never realized this till today aftrer i capped shanxi before they joined

[sturdy willow]

That's something I always try to do

[ancient orbit]

When you try to frick with NATO after the US collapsed into civil war but Germany is controlled by the player so you get the shite beaten out of you and now you are forever stuck with this modifier

[turbid vapor]

i wanted to get 3 collabs so i definitely wassnt happyy when this happened

[alpine shard]

Uhhhh if you need tech support for when the fire rises go to their discord instead, hoi4 devsn and such dont have any capacity to help with this mod

[neon portal]

my state localization has been messed up for a month or two and I cant figure out how to fix yes

• I've already tried verifying game files
• I've already tried deleting the states name file and redownloading it

nothing is working

I have it there, it exists

but it doesnt work

Other languages run but not english for the states names

[neon portal]

Ok I just deleted the game and redownloaded it and that did not fix it

[surreal fiber]

Ever used debug mode?

[vapid isle]

lol

[grizzled smelt]

does anyone know what this is? i cant play….

[wheat parrot]

I can’t get my game to boot up. I’m able to open the launcher, press play with no mods, and it will start loading up until it gets to “precalculating naval distances”, and then crashes. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game on steam and verifying the game files, and updating my windows. It’s been like this since the graveyard of empires update.

[pure sparrow]

Is there like a division template i can use so i dont need other divisions

[storm wraith]

I need help I'm on a different version of the game
I've cleared my cache, removed the mods, verified the files, re installed
it didnt work
It appears the correct version in the launcher

Help please

[grizzled smelt]

why am I asking the question for the second time and they don't answer me?!!!! What's the problem😡😡😡

[abstract wharf]

Can someone please please help

I cannot get nudge to work, I click on the states and they do not open

[neon portal]

yes never found anythingf

[surreal fiber]

Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/ folder can override the map if you ever used the nudger

[fierce gale]

whats the small and large portrait size for general

[void briar]

So I've pinpointed R56 to be the cause of my issue where the game wouldn't launch, despite the mod's page saying it was updated this month. Do you or anyone else here know how I solve this?

[grizzled smelt]

"See Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/logs" How can this be viewed?

[void briar]

There's a file there called error iirc, open it with any text editor

[grizzled smelt]

Ok, how do I open the game files?

[grizzled smelt]

It's just that when I do this through steam, I can't find these files, they're not there.

I still can't understand why the moderation is silent for so long, they only answered my question when I wrote a private message!

[sonic agate]

did paradox remove certain presets for certain countries

as a minor i have loads of capital ship presets but 0 submarine presets

the button dosent even appear

[worn crow]

Why won't my dlc's show up in game or in the game launcher?

[lament heron]

I have recently encountered an issue with the multiplayer mode. The problem "lagging behind" keeps occurring, or sometimes the game save cannot be loaded.

What could be improved?

P.S. It is not a technical issue.

[vivid zenith]

• Internet connection (yours or the Host's)
• Hardware (Yours or the Host's)

[lament heron]

This has only started happening recently.

[whole smelt]

Some dlcs don't show in the launcher since they got integrated into base game

So you can't disable them anymore but you still technically own them on steam even if they're part of base game now

[worn crow]

Are those integrated?

[whole smelt]

Dod, tfv and wtt are integrated now yea.

[worn crow]

Okay thank you that's probably why they were removed from the store

[dapper stone]

Does anyone know why when I go the CSA and finish honor the confederacy, it's only 2 decisions that I have and am stuck with the non aligned American Junta under MacArthur?

[dull mango]

Hello everyone! I would like to ask if anyone here uses a 2160×1440P screen. When I set the game to fullscreen in the Paradox launcher, the font size becomes very small (the resolution is locked at 2160×1440P). However, when I switch to borderless window mode, everything works fine. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

[sage hatch]

Ermm my game crashes when i zoom in on the map, its very annoying cause i cant micro anymore

Ok i just turned off some of the stuff and it worked

like cities and rivers

I can run 3d soldiers but not buildings for some reason

Cities and buildings are crashing my game

I have tested and can run everything else than buildings and cities

[upbeat lava]

im getting this issue too
must be a bug or something

[whole birch]

So I'm playing as Hungary (Hapsburg path), Alt-History, Romania goes into revolution and wins quickly - Treaty of Trianon focus is bypassed and I can no longer get rid of treaty. Am I softlocked?

[whole smelt]

If it bypasses it should get rid of the treaty. If you still have it then it must be a bug

[dapper stone]

yeah I raised a ticket and they said that it has been addressed so hopefully in the next patch it gets fixed

[upbeat lava]

Ah cool

[whole birch]

Yep still there - happy to share screenshots/captures/game file with devs/anyone if it helps debug?

[wheat parrot]

I can’t get my game to boot up. I’m able to open the launcher, press play with no mods, and it will start loading up until it gets to “precalculating naval distances”, and then crashes. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game on steam and verifying the game files, and updating my windows. It’s been like this since the graveyard of empires update.

[green compass]

Any inputs on how to fix it? It pop-up as I boot up the launcher for the game...

[hard chasm]

Anyone has any ideas on how to fix a mp ping problem? Lag back and that stuff

I recently bought the subscription for all dlcs but when my friend joins me, the time speed can't go beyond 3 and always goes back to 2 or 1

I tried searching for any solution but I can't find any good one

[orchid crystal]

Ping is an internet problem

[hard chasm]

I've checked my internet and there's not way it's that

I have 980 input

Any others problem you can think of?

How to enable the debug performance chart in game?

uhm do you want just enable debug mode?

@blazing notch

[lost coyote]

(Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I didn't see a bug report channel).
Spotted a typo in the vanilla game, it is not mentioned anywhere else on the internet (no relevant results after googling "hoi4 "negihbors"")

[alpine shard]

The right place would be the paradox forums

[analog jacinth]

hello,I'm having a problem running hearts of iron IV,as soon as i open the game it crashes.Is this the right place to ask for help?

[alpine shard]

What are your pcs specs?

[analog jacinth]

ryzen 5 4600g cpu,8gb ddr4 ram,rtx 2060 gpu

[alpine shard]

Weird

You should have no issue opening it lol

I run with way lower

Exept for the ram

[analog jacinth]

until yesterday it worked just fine while i was playing tno now it crashes continuously

maybe i should try playing it with no mods and see if it works

[alpine shard]

You might want to delete TNO and verify game files

Im just saying delete TNO because its not good (in my opinion)

[analog jacinth]

already deleted and reinstalled it,i'll try verifying them now

[alpine shard]

But yeah just verify

Let me know if it continues to not work

[analog jacinth]

damnit

it didnt work

it did find two files and then re installed them though

[alpine shard]

oh man

Weird

Have you checked your ram/cpu usage while booting up the game? And what backgroud stuff do you have opened in the background

[analog jacinth]

i'll check right now

i'll also try closing any background apps

[alpine shard]

Because only 8gb is pretty limiting

[analog jacinth]

seems like cpu and ram usage peak at around 60-70% before the game crashes

[alpine shard]

intresting

[analog jacinth]

with all background apps closed

[alpine shard]

Weird, your cpu should work pretty good. Its almost 100% your ram

[analog jacinth]

yeah maybe i should buy more ram

or maybe tno requires too much ram

i should try booting the game without tno

[alpine shard]

That 100% should have been the first thing you try

[analog jacinth]

yep i think that was the problem

it works now

[alpine shard]

ok good

I was so confused on why it kept crashing

your pc is like 6x better than mine

[analog jacinth]

lol

thanks for helping btw

[alpine shard]

"Cries in gtx 960"

[grizzled smelt]

I am addressing marijin212 personally
YOU are not a competent employee, absolutely no help not only from you, but also from the entire server administration. And I simply can't play the GAME! Yes, at first they gave me advice, but when I started asking more questions, they simply ignored me!

After this, I'm not surprised that Paradox has such a reputation... If you think I'm wrong, convince me otherwise! Explain at least what files need to be opened and what to press!

[orchid crystal]

Marijin is not a PDX employee

[orchid crystal]

So if the launcher is bugging, make sure you allow it through your firewall

That is what I have to do

Otherwise, if you can't load, maybe a DirectX issue if graphics related?

[grizzled smelt]

How do I know what it's connected to? They suggest I look at gaming magazines

[orchid crystal]

I looked back

Your launcher is not allowed through your firewall

Go allow it through your firewall

I may not know your language, but it is the windows security icon

[grizzled smelt]

ok, how to open it?

[orchid crystal]

Windows security?

Go search Windows security

Or windows defender

Or click the notification that popped up

[weary cargo]

guys

can someone send a inf div

can attack, defend

[orchid crystal]

9/0, support arty, engineers, support aa

Pick 2 other support companies of your choice

[grizzled smelt]

Okay, I opened it, how do I turn on the launcher now?

[orchid crystal]

Controlled folder access thing

I'm not sure of the button order exactly

You will have a thing showing something that was blocked

Click the one where it was about the Paradox Launcher and allow it

If the game doesn't work after allowing it through the launcher, I have no idea then

[scenic star]

My last 4 saves crash when the game goes from 12 AM to 1 AM. Has this happened to anyone else?

[vivid zenith]

mod(s) ?

[scenic star]

Tanks for Other Nations

[vivid zenith]

try without it on a new save, see if it crashes
if it doesn't, the issue's coming from your mod

[wheat parrot]

Can I get help with this please?

[alpine shard]

Pc specs?

[wheat parrot]

Using a laptop, Intel i5-11400H 6-Core,
2933 MHz DDR4 RAM,
256GB PCIe SSD,
GeForce RTX 3050.

[alpine shard]

Weird

You should be able to open it

How much ram?

[wheat parrot]

8 GB

[alpine shard]

Verify game files should be the first step

If that still dosent work, close background apps to free up ram

Lmk if it dosent work

[wheat parrot]

Nope, steam says all the files are valid and I had all other apps closed. Here’s what it looks like on my end

[alpine shard]

interesting

[alpine shard]

weird

It should open no issue

[wheat parrot]

Yeah I’ve gotten it to work before, but as I said it just stopped after graveyard of empires dropped

[alpine shard]

Like for reference I have a
Intel i7-6700HQ
16gb of DDR4 ram
And a GTX 960
And hoi4 runs pretty good..... So I dont see why your laptop cant

Try rolling back a version

[blazing notch]

Did HOI4 try to connect to something every 2 to 3 minutes?

My game even in main menu will stop responding every 2 to 3 minutes for a few seconds

However if I disconnect from internet it will not happen

[surreal fiber]

you could look in process monitor to confirm such a theory

but it seems more likely you got Windows update or whatever running in the background

[blazing notch]

Then it might be caused by v2rn

[vague crater]

Why do i crash when trying to boot up MP? ive deleted and reinstalled hoi4, but same thing happens. Very weird.

Like every mod tbh. Normal works though

idk what else to do

[graceful kestrel]

I need some help rn

I began playing HoI4 for a few weeks but for some reason I cant zoom in at all [I tried the touchpad thing as well]

Rn I am using a Windows 11 Lenovo Laptop and the ver is 1.16.4

Anyone dm me if they can help

[minor flax]

eh?

do you have mouse with scroll wheel ?

@graceful kestrel

[shadow yarrow]

Anyone know what this means when I start HOI4?

[minor flax]

what game version is this

oh

you on windows 7

sorry. win 7 no longer supported in recent pdx games updates

@shadow yarrow, check your pc on viruses, or reinstall system libraries

[snow jungle]

Hey, I have an ironman India game I went to 1952 with. I’m on the peace conference screen rn, and it seems, no matter what I do, that my game crashes

I’m unsure how else to get the “How the turn tables” achievement, given I can’t puppet Britain without my game crashing

[minor flax]

send crash log idk

[snow jungle]

Does anyone know how to get through the peace deal?

[snow jungle]

alr

(discoard wouldnt let me send

[minor flax]

sorry i cant use it nor i wanna make account here

also it says url format is broken

[snow jungle]

Are there any good file upload sites? sob

[minor flax]

uhm, your google drive?

[snow jungle]

Im logged onto my personal google account on this computer 😭

[minor flax]

and i dont need dlc load jsn
i need logs not your dlcs

crash log is error log in crashes folder. spawn at crash

[snow jungle]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o1s3wL-p021JL5HWy7CXofBqbFLiAlvg/view?usp=sharing

[minor flax]

lmao it was empty

yo whats wrong

[snow jungle]

I am comically incompetent

I pasted the folder

sob

[minor flax]

ez

horrible

THIS SHOULD WORK

I hope

I am less tech knowdlageable than your average grandpa

alas

[snow jungle]

is the crash due to the mysterious heavy battleship

[minor flax]

no

TFR songs are broken in this error log

[snow jungle]

I tried loading the save without tfr station on, didn’t seem to fix it

Although it removed errors related to it from the log

[minor flax]

send game error log

well its not called that

[minor flax]

shouldnt break game, thumbnail and supported version are not that relevant

ah

i remembered game error log is updates each launch

send it again after crash instead crash error log

[snow jungle]

As in send them immediately after the crash?

[minor flax]

just dont launch new game

[snow jungle]

got it

[minor flax]

new run will overwrite it

[minor flax]

[minor flax]

i asked for error log

others is just your system specs

[snow jungle]

the second thingy I sent is the error log

the small one

the system specs I thought could be relevant if it's got something to do with that

sorry

[minor flax]

are you crashing on start

[snow jungle]

No, just as soon as I hit the "exit peace conference" button

I usually have crashes very rarely

[minor flax]

what mods you have

[snow jungle]

none on atm, for most of the game I only had tfr music mod (removed it once I got to the peace conference since I thought it could contribute to things

[minor flax]

what peace treaty

who against who

[snow jungle]

The comintern against the allies

[minor flax]

ok so vanilla

[snow jungle]

Yea

[minor flax]

can you send save, before/during conference

if it crashes for me too than its pdx bug

[minor flax]

there is two options

or there is too much people on conference or that distance_super_heavy_battleship messes up

[wicked verge]

yoo guys does anyone know the iranian russia tag

like the cheat command

[shadow yarrow]

alr

[surreal fiber]

Wdym Iranian Russia

[vivid zenith]

yes

[vivid zenith]

[tight helm]

i also uninstalled every mod and made sure it was put on no mods

[umbral flame]

help

[surreal fiber]

Just ask

[surreal fiber]

You just install it on Steam and youre done

no piracy discussion here

[alpine shard]

You buy on steam, then download it to your specified location (I recommend an ssd if possible) And boom your done

Ok, can i download it with core i7-1255u.. intel uhd graphics?

It will work but not very well

Im more concerned about the way your army is organized

[dusky quest]

I stopped them about 6 tiles away from Moscow and Stalingrad, and there was no sign of st Petersburg so it went well

[gritty sky]

thank you for everyone that helped

By the way it is easy to not even lose a single tile to germany.You just need to stak entrenchmend and make some tanks.

Hi, I just had something rather interesting occur. I'm playing Germany in 1946, Reichkomisariat Norwegen was getting naval invaded, I noticed my divisions were quite slow, I checked the speed modifiers and learnt there was a rebellion ongoing. I figured the puppet didn't have enough mp/equipment to keep garrisons -I do find an issue with that, I'd pressume that if the war is going fine, they subjected territories shouldn't be able to rebel, maybe polish a bit the Reichkomisariat system (?) so that they either get to maintain their garrison or they ask for equipment/mp (?), but I digress- I reduced their autonomy so I could get them on brutal oppression, since I do have the production to justify it. They weren't at 90% resistance, but they did rebel instantly after annexing the territory, no issue with that, really. What I think it must be a bug/void on programming is that all the garrisons I had (37 divisions) guarding the coasts, were teleported (?) to various places in Russia, including Siberia -territories directly controlled by me-, I do understand that the rebellion system should be impactful, but it is not plausible that divisions just teleport transcontinentally, it takes away all the immersion and it is frustrating. At most I'd think they should remain in their places if they are holding the rebellion there's no reason for the units to teleport out. But, if mechanics-wise that's not negotiable, at least have them teleport just outside the territory, or maybe nearby, instead of literally scattering all around the world. Sorry for the long report, but I do think this was not intended to happen.

my friend's playsets dont work, everytime he " tries " to launch a different playset he launches the base game. he even deleted the entire hoi4 game folder and it still happens.

[granite moss]

playing on the into the great war redux mod, asked them about this first and they had no clue, but my game keeps crashing on a specific date over and over and i have no clue why

[dusky quest]

Hasn’t been cleaned since 2017

[thick quarry]

why cant i switch to different beta versions?? it keeps saying i am mising some game executable

[whole smelt]

Which version are you trying to use? I know some older versions can't be launched through steam bcs of pdx launcher stuff. Should still be able to find the hoi4 exe and launch manually tho

[thick quarry]

1.0.0

[prime kayak]

im getting a version mismatch when im trying to connect to my friend's server, we both have the lastest version installed with no mods and same dlc, the only thing that does not match is special tag (the one thats in braces after the version)
what could be the reason of this?

[minor flax]

compare your checksums

ah already

maybe verify files?

[prime kayak]

well, versions are clearly mismatching by build tag, we both reinstalled the game already so files gotta be solid
the quiestion is, why is tag different even though we both just installed the game? could update differ by county (we're both in east europe)

[minor flax]

whats your specs

i mean os and where you got the game

[prime kayak]

oh, the problem was solved, my friend just had another version game installed on a second disk, thats the one that been loading this whole time

deletion of old version helped

[minor flax]

bruh

[prime kayak]

i know, dumb

[minor flax]

[prime kayak]

thanks anyways)

[thorn zephyr]

Some of my saves dont work anymore but with the same mods, I tried checking integrity of game files does anyone know why

[kindred hamlet]

can somebody help me my game keeps crashing?

[alpine shard]

pc specs? Or has the game worked in the past

[kindred hamlet]

worked in the past but when i start it from launcher it crashes

[alpine shard]

Do you have mods enabled?

[kindred hamlet]

i disabled them but it keeps crashing

[alpine shard]

Clear your cache

And verify game files

[kindred hamlet]

i get this message

i verrified the files

but for some reason i cant clear directory

it fails and i get this message

[jolly beacon]

I have problems with screenshotting in game

How to fix

It kicks me from the game, minimises it

[alpine shard]

Use F12

Just use the steam screenshot feature

[jolly beacon]

Only one that works

[ancient orbit]

Can someone help me Launch The last days of europe mod I downloaded it from steam workshop but I didn't know how to make it work

[fickle jasper]

how do I get better speed..

with a Intel celeron

[alpine shard]

you dont

[fickle jasper]

has to be a way

[alpine shard]

there isnt

A celeron cant do hoi4 very well

Idk what you expect from it

The most budget intel cpus they still cell

Just be lucky you dont have a proton

[surreal fiber]

FPS map and debug_smooth are gonna help a bit

but 35% extra on 10FPS is still only 13FPS

[fickle jasper]

Is the Dell Latitude 5300 good or not

[surreal fiber]

I dont know, what specs?

[fickle jasper]

Intel Core i5-8365U

[surreal fiber]

Integrated graphics so its definitely not good

[fickle jasper]

I thought it was only CPU based

[surreal fiber]

Not entirely

I cant tell how good the CPU is because all the benchmark websites are questionable

[minor flax]

integrated have one positive value, they cheaper

but uses your RAM

anyway not usable for heavy gaming

max limit i know is 2gb

[thorn zephyr]

Anyone know why some saves crash when clicking on them if you have the same mod and same version

[minor flax]

send crash error log

[whole smelt]

Hoi4 is mostly CPU based yea. And integrated graphics can run it fine in most cases. But if your CPU is already on the lower end it can cause some problems.

[wooden mist]

Please help me I just get errors, I tried to reinstall it did not help

[latent spruce]

Guys I downgraded my version of the game to another version to see if I could rescue a save of mine but I couldn't how do I make my game be the current most updated version? Now I used the betas tab to downgrade it I don't see an option to make the current version default again.

[granite glacier]

G'day folks, recently I've been having an issue where my game will freeze soon after loading in. I've had this happen while I'm looking at focus trees with the game paused, I've had it happen when scrolling through save games in the main menu. This issue happens whether I have mods or not, and I have tried reinstalling the game to fix it (which it had for only a day). The worst part about this, is that when the game freezes, I can alt+tab out and continue using my PC normally until I try to close the frozen game, at which point my entire PC (aside from my mouse cursor) freezes and I'm only able to restart by holding the power button on my PC tower. My PC will freeze even if I try closing the game through task manager, and because the game never closes, I haven't been able to generate a crash log that might outline the issue. Any help would be much appreciated

[alpine shard]

Pc specs?

[granite glacier]

CPU: Intel Core i5 11400F
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600
Memory: 32 GB DDR4 between 2 sticks
Storage: IIRC I think the game is on a M.2 SSD

I have 3k hours in the game and no hardware changes have happened recently that could've caused the problems

I have also made sure my AMD driver is up to date

[alpine shard]

Have you enabled any big mods (Specifically tno) recently?

Disable all mods first then verify game files

[granite glacier]

Why specifically TNO if I may ask? The most recent freeze was while playing the standalone version of the TNO mod Second West Russian War

But my game has also been freezing in vanilla with no mods

[alpine shard]

I have noticed alot of people recently complain about the game not working right after playing TNO and submods

[granite glacier]

So perhaps TNO is corrupting game files? Because after reinstalling the game, the crashes only restarted once I loaded up a game with a TNO mod

[alpine shard]

Yeah prob

Just verify game files

Or reinstall hoi4 all together

[granite glacier]

Verifying game files didn't fix it for me last time unfortunately

I had to reinstall the whole game

I'm going to inquire about this is in the TNO discord server

[vivid zenith]

Select "no beta selected" or smt like that

[surreal fiber]

^^

Top option IIRC

[surreal fiber]

Normally Id guess either overheating or wrong renderer option in launcher

[whole smelt]

Did you also make sure to unsubscribe from the mod?

[tulip mist]

I have C++ redistributable thoug
