I reinstalled the game, I deleted the launcher, I deleted the game files
I got a .NET
Fixed it; I just deleted all the paradox files and launched directly to game instead of through launcher.
Does anyone know what to do if the server id is not displayed?
<@&916727924093239336>
was playing a ironman save and got off last night after it got late. just went back to continue that save and got a weird error message. My save is gone now is there anyway to recover it?

Force a white peace doesnt work either

indian tech support i have error 502 for loading road 56 mod
i have i problem when i try to take a screenshot is just exits HOI4
or anyother game
Blow up!
What happened to my hoi4
Do i need to update my graphic drivers?
The taskbar is white too
Yeah I would if I were you
I did see some white squares popping up here and there while playing more demanding games
Yeah update drivers my guy
And if that dont fix any of it
Your gpu might be dying, im not 100% sure
though
i dont think that a new amd rx 7900 xt wilkl fail this fast
They can
Some brand new gpus will fail days after buying. Its not common but still happens
See this is proof the gtx 960 is the most chad gpu of all time 
(This is heavy cope)
yea
what the hell
i installed drivers
is it normal for the tabs to be transparent while downloading drivers
and the amd driver chose to be win7
idk
I never had amd, nvidia gives me no trouble when updating drivers
Exept for the fact my gpu is at the end of the line pretty much
Idk look it up on a phone or something lol
the last time i installed drivers was three years ago

What
You dont update ur drivers often?
No wonder why you were having issues
tell me how i conquered all of india as the princely states and then britain turns communist and then makes me a puppet and i cant get free
3RD TIME
I have a problem with multiplayer.
I installed open beta and then went back to 16.4. After that I have problems with multiplayer servers. Once I'm trying to join server game is loading(at this point if you will click it will crash) and then typing "connection". I tried to reinstall hoi4 from steam and still I have this bug.
If I am the host, game runs only for me,for other players its just stops at Jan 1,1936(and they can't do anything also).
Im having a crashing issue with the rt56 mod and was wandering if someone could go over the crash dump and lmk whats going on
The road to 56 discord would be better to get help with the mod
yea i have asked there too, just thought someone here may be able to identify the issue
Got a small bug. had france cap and had it reunite with vichy when i captured paris. now i found this.
both are independent
Thats just something that happens
hello there i was wondering how do i fix my issue with uk turning communist and then puppeting me
are you by any chance playing canada lmao
naa raj as the princely states
Set the game to historical focusses should help
Otherwise just hope the alt hist rng makes them go another path
im trying to play with my friend and were both on the same version yet eachtime i try to join them and search for their game and vice versa it says host has a different game version we even went down to ver 1.16.4 to try it when i searched for them it came up but when joining it didnt work
Is anyone online who can help w a technical problem
expect heavy accent and bad micro
I uninstalled the whole file group for hoi4 cause the states were showing up as numbers
I can’t VC at the moment I can only type
what language you on in hoi4
English
no mods?
No mods
where you got game
The problem I have is I click on a state in nudge it does not open the file. It is like the files do not exist on my computer
I do not know if I deleted them by accident or something
oh, nugde editor
well before using it, you must back up files
well you have to completely uninstall game and install it again
or at least delete map folder and verify files in steam
Ok let me try to find that
by the way what you wanted to change in nudge
Transfer control of states for the game staring date of 1936 to change game scenarios
I cannot find that
I found the map file and deleted it
Do I run the integrity check now
yes restore vanilla game folder and never touch it again
you wanna make new mod i guess
Bear with me I kinda suck at computers hella bad
How do I restore the vanilla game folder now
if you just edit original game files. you will lose your work next update
thats it
so make a new mod
Ok the whole thing is stuck now I deleted the map folder and it says “stopping” in steam
It’s not my internet
if you just editing ownership of states, edit history of states. copy these files and edit them in mod
yeah steam is sometimes brokey, restart it
Restarting computer
steam
Already did that three times
Nothing changes when I do that it still does not allow me to click on states
Or at least open file
Ok computer is back on let me try again
Instantly crashed when I tried to open it
For some reason it is letting me back up now
what the hell is going on there
So the map file is gone. When I try to open the game it crashes
Do I uninstall and re install the game again
Attempting the verify again
bc when you use nudge is map files are being changed
Ok something different is happening now
goben pls fix steam
It says 384 files failed to validate and will be be reacquired
well you edited states
I opened the game again and it still does not let me click on open file
Ffs
I am doomed
did map folder restored?
whats checksum in launcher
How do I find that
its just name
you can have any
i ask about checkhsum
it must be (b65d) in current version
game still not work?
Game will play but nudge does not let me click on anything
How do I turn off nudge
how you enabled it in first place?
Legit have no idea how I did that it was like three years ago
what
Yeah how do I turn that thing off I’ve clicked on properties and manage and there’s no button to do that
well it should be there if you set up it in properties
I untyped that a few mins ago and the launch in debug option is still there
I just launched the game without it and then closed the game now I’m launching it with it
it must be empty to turn it off
Turned it off, launched, turned it back on, still not working
Not sure that’s the issue, it’s been giving me the same bs “state failed to validate” error code when I open the game
Like this entire time
Something is cooked
And I just tried other nudge functions like drawing a railroad and it let me do that
well nudge is nice thing, but you must know how it works and also make backups
So let’s say
For the sake of argument
That I got another computer of mine working and just bought the game again cause it is so heinously cooked on my laptop💀
How would I back it up properly
Or do it right per say
do you want clear up this mess and go back to original hoi4 restored
what you mean bought again
💀
stonks for pdx
ok here is the plan
uninstall game
make back up of your hoi4 user directory . location below
delete it in standard place Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV folder
Yeah imma tap out on this one my laptop sucks anyway
whats your specs
Every time I get to 1942 the game takes like a crap ton of time to go
do you at least have dedicated videocard
It keeps saying slow interface and takes like an hour for a year to pass on full speed
Bro I got no idea what that is we bought this laptop in 2017💀
I do have a big boy computer that needs to be assembled tho
Bought all of the right parts according to experts
But I cannot assemble on my own
oh, you have temporal laptop until your new pc will be assembled
Yea
Like I said computers and technical knowledge is far from a strong suit for me. Always been a humanities guy I digress
Anyway I’ll wait to get the game again until I have big computer
have money, have no knowledge.
press F
btw
good luck
pdx games ingeneral are processor dependent
I could help
Can I see the parts list?
Hey everyone, it seems like my inner circle is bugged. The 3 guys I appointed progressed their focus points up until a point. Goebbels for example has finished his tree but Todt is stuck at half for over a year now.
Is this a known issue? Any way to fix it? It's an ironman run, with all dlc's
I have a problem with multiplayer.
I installed open beta and then went back to 16.4. After that I have problems with multiplayer servers. Once I'm trying to join server game is loading(at this point if you will click it will crash) and then typing "connection". I tried to reinstall hoi4 from steam and still I have this bug.

ive recently had an issue with onedrive saving my hoi4 files on there
i put them back into steam files but i cannot load any save games? do i need to make a new folder in the steam files or something?
any help would be greatly appreciated
Usually I just recommend uninstalling onedrive
Can I get help on how to make the game run so smooth ?
(Intel i5 gen7)
I recommend uninstalling most of microsofts pointless apps
Like microsoft edge, firefox better
Theres very little you can do
Although debug_smooth console command and FPS map mod help a decent bit
when i install a portrait it work for other leader but for hitler it doesnt work it still stay the same how do i fix this
Guys is amd 5 7600X for hoi4? Im dont sure about upgrade to somethink else like intel or other amd (i really want am5 to upgrade with no motherboard upgrade) thanks for evry tips
Yes that should be sufficient
Better cpu than what I run
Do you have a gpu?
Typically by the time you upgrade your motherboard and the CPUs for it would be obsolete
Even on AMD
Unless you wanna upgrade from a 7600 but that seems unnecessary for games
hello,anybody can help me with this?
do you have these system libraries
game crashing on linux upon joining a friend
mods and no mods both crashes
it works in singleplayer no problem
okay switched to proton 9 instead of native but now the map had no colours
trying proton 10 now
still broken.. only works natively but then it crashes my game upoin joining my friend again
switchgin from directX11 to directX9 fixed the map
lets see if i can play MP now with proton 10 and directX9
opening hoi4 shuts off my second monitor momentarily
its prob cause hoi4 is opened in fullscreen
so i can't have it in full screen if i want to do anything else with my computer?
kinda bs ngl
Dx11 and Dx9 shouldn't affect multiplayer. But yea the country colors all vanishing is a bug that happens if your computer parts don't support Dx11
it works now, running dx9 and trough proton makes everything works as its suposed to ^^
anyone here having experience with hearts of oak in sp
Is the "as Afghanistan, capitulate the Soviet Union" achievement bugged? twice now ive beaten the USSR but no achievement.
Did you check if you met all the requirements for it in the achievement menu?
oh, i didnt know about the requirement of the highest warscore. this makes it even harder...
Do you know how to fix the black background error?
Whats the difference between Borderless Fullscreen and Fullscreen?
Different ways to achieve the same effect
I think theres only 2 options in case one of the two have issues
Hey, I have a problem that I'm pretty sure hasn't happened before. I was playing Ironman as normal and then I noticed that it kept freezing. This was because it auto-saves every 7 days. I've been playing this game for over 1,000 hours now, always Ironman. I would have noticed if I'd always had problems like this. I think I've had it in the past. And no, going into the settings and turning off auto-save doesn't work.
Thats how iron man works
Its constantly auto saving
To prevent save scumming and losing progress
Yes, but not every 7 days? That's never been the case. I would have noticed that.
Its every day lol
It saves literally every single day
If you play on an older machine with an HDD you will notice it alot more
Huh, every day would be a pain. Then the screen would permanently display "Autosaving..."
Autosaves are every 7 days
Really?
The only reason it looks like it saves everyday is because it saves when you click exit
Yea they changed it a few updates ago
I think it used to be based off your settings but now ironman forces it to be every 7 days
hey im having this issue where hoi4 is just randomly crashing, im not really sure whats causing this i do have a few mods installed however
heres my current mods installed
What mods are enabled in playsets
all of them are enabled
Is Trotsky supposed be allowed to be assassinated if he's both country leader and CoA
I was playing Mexico Ironman and the USSR was able to assassinate him despite him being my Country Leader for Mexican Soviet Republic
the game even changed my country leader to the other guy
Pretty sure thats intentionally possible
Bruh
Is there any way to prevent this
Do you own LaR?
If so, you can try to prevent the Soviets forming in an intel network in your country, which would block the mission
Idk if there are alternative ways
Yes, I subscribe to the DLC
Huh
Okay, thanks for letting me know
Np I recently bugfixed the mechanic
I kind of lost an extremely convenient run since Chile went communist and helped me align pretty much all of Latin America so I'm not sure if I'll try it again soon
Also I was doing it for Cinco de Mayo
Gotcha gotcha
Thanks again!
Hoi4 Isn’t showing up in steam library despite showing up as owned when I go to the game oage
How
i keep getting corrupt files
like literally every 30 mins i gotta close the game and open it again so i can finally save new games
is this new that it became so common? it did exist a year ago but it just was never as common as it is now
i mean the issue is that whenever i save a game after some time and try to load it, it says „this game is from another version of the game and cannot be opened“ when i didnt even add mods or anything
Hey guys, I'm having an issue with HOI atm. I updated my Mac Desktop to macOS 15.4.1, and now, I can no longer load up HOI4. It always starts buffering on "precalculating naval distances" while loading, and after five minutes, it crashes. I have done several things, such as uninstalling and reinstalling the game, verifying the game files, and starting the game up with and without mods and/or DLCs. Does anyone have any idea of what I could potentially do? Thanks again!
does it crash or just not load and go to desktop without error window
The latter
does mac os have system libraries that must be installed?
i think you must update or install them again
@thorn tiger
i never had mac, but sure you have to install them
what exactly do you mean by "install them again"?
someone can help this pls Launcher Error: Trouble Communicating with Steam
i have no clue how mac works, just suggested to update/install libraries needed for gaming
as you just recently updated your os
any idea on how to fix this
I'm encountering a bug and don't know if this is the best place to report it. When I start a new Ironman game, the game sends me to the wrong country. 2 examples, selected Belgium Congo and game started me as the UK and selected Iran and game sent me to India. Is this happening to anyone else? Doesn't happen every time but still annoying.
i cant join any multiplayer lobbies everything to my knowledge was correct, i need help so i can play
Did you pirate the game?
my game crashes every time i try to unpause the game
After i got a blue screen my game now moves 1h in 5 seconds
Did you put it on low speed?
mods ?
Hello. So I was playing and the game keeps crashing after several seconds after i unpause. I don’t know if it’s tied, but half of the countries are empty after the war
Do you have any mods
Fps map only
I mean half of the countries are empty after with no leader
Newest version
Wit
How
Thats a crazy bug
Yea ig
Verify your game files
Did you try reinstalling
I used different pc and still the same issue
So just like this
Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone knew how well my setup would run this game. I've watched people play it for years but its just recently that I was able to afford a dedicated GPU.
But idk if the rest of my pc is up to the task
I have a Ryzen 5600g, 3070 GPU and 16gb of ram with an SSD
Hello, no matter the server it's infinetely "connecting", they are still starting, i have the same version, same mods.
(I tried to join the second one in this picture for example)
More than enough
3070 is a good gpu
ty
A 3070 can handle HOI4 easily. I mean even integrated graphics can. CPU should run great and ram isn't an issue either for hoi4. So you'll be fine
hi guys i have a bit of an issue
i play on steam and when i want to play mods i use the beta feature to switch back to older versions of the game
however i cant switch back to 1;16:5
and theres no "none" tab
would anybody maybe know how i can fix this issue
Does HOI4 not work with macOS Sequoia 15.4.1?
guys i had a bug where im playing as the usa and after a while of using the 5x speed thingie it randomly just freezes my game and i get the "yellow river blown" thingie with different army names like the german,indian,nepali etc etc armies blowing it up, then after clicking the tragedy button suddenly nearly all of north america becomes the reichskomisseriat
can anyone help me with this pretty please? i really liked playing the usa 😦
see 😦
i just started the game too
and it just went back to nromal ish ?
?
my DLC not working anymore
ohh
Guys im need new steam fix, pls🥺
Thats incredibly odd, Ive seen a similar bug from someone on Reddit
...
youre doing some insane cheating ig?
Why (I believe after the most recent update) is my screen so bright and the colors so washed out? As I load into a game the screen gets super saturated with goes away after loading is finished but the screen remains too bright as shown in the second pic. Also, my refresh rate is stuck at 24 and when I try to change it it requires me to restart my game and when I do it's back to 24
Interesting
yea its prob a virus
What makes it worse is he was trying to get you to download something off of google drive

are u mod?
no
oh.
The best way to report him is to open a ticket with the paradox bot or @ the discord moderation
You need the permission lol
yea i was joking, anyway I hope a mod find that picture
Any solution?
This would be something to DM to the @prime olive to make a ticket but its been dealt with. Thx for the report and I am going to delete that screenshot now because of the link he sent
The brightness might be a setting that somehow got enabled. Or that the game switched what renderer to use but you can change that in the launcher settings. The game being stuck at 24 fps is normal though. At least when unpaused. Since fps isn't that important so it sacrifices framerate to run faster
Np
Can I ask for mod support here? Or just base game stuff
People usually either ask here or in #modding
My game keeps crashing loading into a game/ starting one up, ive reinstalled the game and verified the integrity of game files, what else can i do to fix it?

If you want the devs to see bugs, report them on the forum,s
I guess that video is useless evidence though
Yeah I switched from Directx 11 to OpenGL and I think it solved the problem.
Im getting super low fps in game and in the menus for some reason? Fresh install and im only getting 70fps? Every other game i have runs 180+fps on ultra settings but hoi4 cant get past 70?
great help truly
fixed it but game so shit i dont even go past 40fps on highest speed
Pretty pointless to change fps cap
Very. Debug mode usage mostly for effects and stuff, got too bored of the base game and loved ck3 stuff
Hi guys I have a big problem I have accidentally mod the vanilla game somehow and I can figure out and I try uninstall it and reinstall it try verifying internal files and it still hasn't fix it can some help
Try clearing cache in the launcher
How ?
I forgot where the button is but it should be easy to google
Ok thanks

<@&916727924093239336>
can u help me pls
You delete mods by unsubscribing on Steam
ive already unsubscribed though
wait can i stream it
its more explanatory
wait
ill send a ss
Try deleting documents/paradox interactive/hearts of iron iv/mods_registry.json
look
@surreal fiber
odd
You could try delete this entire folder except the /save saves/ if you dont have locally installed mods
ok
except the folder save games?
yeh
Try again if it works
Whats weird mean
Is this the best place for bug reports?
Very minor bug but found with GOE the plane designer keeps defaulting to the latest jets (i can change on my faction but Germany having jets vs my biplanes is real weird)
I’m working on a country_event that should fire when the player captures a state (state ID 405) during a civil war. Here’s the trigger:
trigger = {
has_country_flag = PER_civil_war
NOT = { has_country_flag = PER_uav_news_fired }
405 = {
is_controlled_by = ROOT
has_state_flag = PER_locals_swayed
}
}
I also set this in on_actions.txt:
on_actions = {
on_state_control_changed = {
events = { PER_civil_war.12 }
}
}
Issue:
• If I control Tehran before the civil war starts, the event works.
• If I start the civil war without controlling Tehran, and capture it later, the event never fires — even if the state has the flag and I control it.
• Manually triggering the event with event PER_civil_war.12 works fine.
Any idea why the event isn’t firing dynamically after capturing the state? Am I missing something in how on_state_control_changed or state flags work?
Try to open the game through the launcher for some time but it never opens. It only works if I skip it
Idk what to do
Try deleting the launcher using windows settings and relaunching the game. It should reinstall the launcher and hopefully fix it. If that doesn't work then verify your gamefiles
crashed at 90%
spinning wheel of death
oh
nope
it changed
still spinning wheel of death
I think my mac is just processing this very slowly
nvm
anyone know how to fix this
Have you try launch it in debug mode
Or you could look in the crash logs
What mods enabled ?
hello guys, i have a problem, whenever i want to launch a saved game my game crashes, and i dont know what to do, can anyone help me with this?
how do i do that?
Here
Ok thank you, going to try it out!
Btw if its a super late game save file that was super laggy
It might just be to much for your pc to handle while opening
No it’s not, it’s February 1936
Then yeah it prob got corrupted
I’ll leave it to check, I’ll send if something goes wrong
Thanks a lot!
Btw if it’s corrupted is there a way to save the file?
If its February 36
Restarting wont be that bad
Oh, so there’s no way right?
idk
But its not worth the hassle for a 1936 save
Now that I thought about it, could it be a mod that is breaking my files
prob
But like I said
A save in 1936 isnt worth trying to save
Id just restart
Yup gotcha
Just asking if I’m planning to grind until 1945 and the problem persists
Id go mod less
And the only mods that wont cause any harm would be gfx
Like fps map
Launch
😭
Can you please show what is happening?
When you click play on steam the paradox launcher opens correct?
From the pdx launcher just click launch
You just click play
Hello, sorry for the late response the porblem is the launcher keeps loading i don't the the start menu
@vivid zenith yeah it was just a mac thing, where files get undownloaded after a while of not using them. I set it to redownload and keep downloaded and now it works. i'm gonnna pull my hair out
Can you provide a video?
And have you tried the skip the launcher launch option
so, i was researching flame tanks. it stopped researching yet i could still build em?
it stayed permanently not researching
even though i built em, i still cant make or add flame support companies
i removed the building hoping it would help, yet it hasnt
what do i do
i have medium flame tanks stockpiled, but its glitchy when i try put the tank onto the flame tank class, and it wont let me put thejm on the support company
Project desision probably
Or the facility got raided and was damaged
Or the facility got captured by the enemy and you didn't assign it back after recapture
does anyone know how i fix random lag?
this isnt the "lag" you think of
it doesnt freeze
its just super slow
ur mouse is laggy
yeah idk why it does that in the recording
when its not recording my mouse isnt laggy
pretty sure u have an fps cap
on the game
or u re using windows and havent done a clean boot in 6 years
clean boot?
age doesnt matter
where do i change the FPS cap?
whats the cpu
it can run eu4 perfectly
rdr2 with very high graphics
i dont think it should be having any trouble running hoi4 loading screen 😭
not captured, got raided once but that was ages ago
like, 1940
did you repair it ?
yes, 99% sure
its 1944
it also says in the research thing that it is researched
but it wont let me use it
and it is buggy when selecting the flame tank role
My launcher is crashing when I click on playlists.
I can select a modlist that I already created from the starting screen and play with it just fine, but if I try to go into the playlist at all it crashes repeatedly.
Just uninstalled and reinstalled and got the same result.
Anyone got a suggestion?
This started happening after I updated my launcher yesterday
Might be some file that got corrupted. Reinstalling the launcher should fix it
does anyone know how to fix my prolem w flame tanks?
its really annoying me, since flame tanks are super important for my tank divisions
Whats the issue?
ima just copy and paste it
so, in hoi4 i was researching flame tanks, however the facility got raided and paused production of flame tanks, however even after it was repaired, the research for flame tanks didnt go up, however it unlocked flame tanks for me anyways, while saying that flame tanks were still in research. when i design a flame tank and try put it as a flame tank, the game gets abit buggy but eventually accepts it as a flame tank and lets me produce it, however the game refuses to let me put a flame tank support company into my divisions
That just sounds like a weird bug. Best to report it on the forums but besides that not much you can do about it
i deleted the facility in hopes it would like, reset it or sumin. but it hasnt. it also appears as "researched" in my special productions research thing
oh yeah
bruh
augh damn sounds too american
gosh darn it
(that pained me to say)
do you have something i could replace the flame tank with then?
or an alternative
what dlcs do you use to play multiplayer? I keep getting a different version error i have all the dlc i think
is there anything i can do with the game files to fix it
Dlcs don't matter in multiplayer. Since the ones the host has are used for the game. So if it says different version you either need to update your game or make sure you're both running the same mods
i tried disabling one but i went ahead and bought the ultimate edition so i know i have all dlcs installed. I deleted all my mods and playsets too. I think it may be because im on linux
Like I said you don't need to worry about having the same dlcs as the host since they'll just be shared. But HOI4 has native linux support so it should be the same as windows. Whats the checksum you and the host are getting?
im just trying to join online games. im trying to fix my steam rn
it may work i need a moment
Like random online games?
Did you see if the games you're trying to join use any mods?
yes just to see if i can get it to connect anyways so i can rule out one issue at a time
Just check the checksum then. That should rule it out way easier
i will join games on here once i figure out how MP works
How do you do that?
Do you have the game open rn?
im launchig it
Aight. Make sure to launch without any mods
let me try for a bit
is there any console commands i can do to unlock the flame tank?
There is a research all special project one I think
Ok. But using checksum is a lot easier
oh yeah sorry its loading
Just check the titlescreen once it launches for the 4 letters/numbers next to the version number and lmk what they are
All good
b5ac?
im so close to forming rome 😭
Thats not the checksum for the current version. So there's something wrong with your files. Have you tried validating them through steam?
It should be b65d
IT WORKED
oh
Yea. Should be fairly easy to fix. Just go to steam and verify HOI4s files
i think i broke steam somehow thats never happened
Hoi4 can break like that sometimes
With how mods work it can happen
its stuck in an infinite loop of installing workshop content eventhough i restart it
ill brb in a few i want to try restarting linux because the distro i have is kind of buggy sometimes
thxs for the help now that i know the checksum thing that should help
No problem :)
im just going to reinstall it i made mods and stuff too so some of the files probably arent original
the validation doesnt always work
I've already uninstalled/reinstalled the game in entirety, does that not uninstall/reinstall the launcher?
Can someone help me, the launcher keeps like crashing whenever I try to click playset to change mods and I can't fix it, I've done a clean install and uninstalled all my mods. Does anyone know what this is?
also this, I have no clue
you have onedrive
thats the problem
make backup and relocate onedrive path to somewhere else
not your documents
or at least do what the message says , delete this file
Is this a bug?
Context: I intervened in the polish civil war to maintain peace in Europe, but after taking my share of Poland, Danzig remains demilitarized
release danzig as puppet
@storm wraith
thats the only way to remove debuffs and demilitarised zone to you , well , make a save before it
What does that even have to do with anything
polish peasants can go democratic
It shouldn't be demilitarized to the empire, it should only be demilitarized to Poland
then go to forums and bugreport
Great thank you
do you have any decisions with it?
Nope
I have the same exact issue, i tried everything. even the beta version is not working. there is some major issue in the launcher.
If you're using steam for mods it can sometimes be bugged
I uninstalled, reinstalled, changed between latest launcher version and open-beta. Nothing changed... The problem is when i scroll my playlists. If i don't scroll it doesn't crash. It's really weird
Have you tried unsubscribing from all your mods on steam?
no mods here yet when i go to playsets they are still there, i tried reinstalling hoi4 or look through files but i cant figure it out and when i scroll down mods or playsets the launcher crashes
Good afternoon, I have a situation when I want to play mods. And it doesn't let me select them and nothing appears to activate them and I don't know why
Put them in a playset
Yes. There is no way of fixing this problem. I can go around it but it's annoying and not how it's supposed to.
I hope Paradox Will Fix this ASAP and that, maybe, they will be giving up some compensation. Because i'm clearly not the only one having issues
(maybe a ping to the Paradoxian?)
My game keeps crashing at the exact date of July 26th 12pm in game time
Any fixes?
I do have The Great War Redux mod being used
But I've run into this problem before in vanilla
hiya, so im trying to join a friends game and every time i do the game says connection timed out and then proceeds to crash after a second attempt. im on Mac
Maybe either the ID doesn't exist anymore or it has a password
It it ain't that idk, maybe yall got different mods or versions
My checksum is 06a0 and nothing I've tried works. I have verified game files and reinstalled the game, and it does not change
Does anyone know a fix?
im having the exact same issue i have no clue what to do
but worse as i click on Playset it crashes
Anyone know why my launcher is giving me this message and not seeing my playlists?
Like I've deleted my mods, restarted my pc, deleted hoi4 and the paradox launcher yet everything I do does nothing
so maybe it paradox issue if launchers are going to shit
I was messing around with the Nudge tool and now all the states are just called "State_55" or whatever province ID they have. How do I change that back to normal?

reinstall game
hey guys, was using the console to unlock everything for USA and UK and make them fascist so my friend could play and learn naval better, I was in a time crunch cus he was getting impatient so I used a 3rd party cheat menu to insta research Torpedo Cruisers, once I left and made a game, my game version changed, and he couldnt join, I've had this problem before messing around with cheat menus and stuff for fun but I've deleted everything hoi4 related on my PC and reinstall multiple times and it will not fix itself to the proper version.
this is what it says now
trying to make the game as easy to possible to learn is a bad thing?
isnt hurting anyone
ironman console* i meant sorry
or whatever its claled
the console thing, i was using that originally
why you played in ironman
can i get link to it
to what?
"ironman console"
all I used was that
and then when i couldnt get torpedo cruisers instantly
i used WeMod, then it broke my game when I tried to go into multiplayer with that save
maybe try clear user directory by launcher and then verify files on steam game's properties
alrighty
still on the same version
ive reinstalled my game 3 times now, so idk whats up
and deleted hoi4 doc files
did you cleaned game hoi4 folder if it was left
where would that one be?
Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV
then what?
i dont think so, but feel free to delete it
Hacks….
what do you define as a hack
any cheats
so the cheat menu built into the game is a hack?
so is my game just cooked
well at least you can play single
its better with friends but whatever
did you recieved other's save and did something in it
i only had 1 save when i was setting up naval stuff to show my new friend
only thing I could think is what I did wrong is that i sent that save to cloud incase it was just my game that was bugged
i did delete the cloud save from ingame though, i dont know if thats still causing the issue
Bruh that's like plan d for me
didnt you tried 2025 version
yes i said it gave me the same popup
can anyone help me
how do i fix this
restart steam
already tried that
ah its linux
are you serious
no
I cant remember if its still a thing
But on linux if you deleted the french folder, it had the same effect as deleting system 32
hey maybe you can just ignore it and its fine?
If that dosent work just reinstall steam
i did ignore it but i cant update my game or my steam mods on it or add new steam mods so im stuck with an older version then everyone else so i cant play multiplayer
Reinstall steam
Try closing the launcher, restarting steam and then launching HOI4 through steam again
Did you try just launching HOI4 on steam and having it install the launcher that way?
I've done that, installed 2025 version Uninstalled reinstalled. Everything i can think of
Hell someone sent me the files exactly and that still didn't work
everytime I click playsets in my launcer my game crashes? I deleted all my mods and unistalled and re installed. Please someone help
If I'm tryna live stream HOI4 RP and show the RP in the Discord what do you think is the best way to show the channel without blocking the view of the game's screen if there are some important things that a viewer should be interested in looking? This is what OBS looks like and that I put it as rn
My prototype vehicles dlc dosent work
I need help
I bought it, activated it, removed all mods, verify all files, and everything.
i bought the dlc pass but it not appearing on the launcher or on the properties page. but when i go on a dlc page it says i own it
so im confused
lmao just had to restart steam
I've got that issue where steam says the game is running and I see 3 paradox launcher things in my task manager but it doesnt actually run. Deleted everything, reinstalled a half dozen different ways followed all the lists online, no dice. What else can I do? none of the other paradox games work either.
Did you also uninstall the launcher? Its a seperate app so it doesn't get removed even if you uninstall the game.
some of my mods doesnt have their icons how do i fix this?
when i lick playsets my launcher crashes and this is the message
how do I fix this: [14:52:47][no_game_date][dlc.cpp:222]: Invalid supported_version in file: mod/ugc_2404689961.mod line: 8

when starting the game without modifications, the game complains about problems with the DLC, although they are all installed and enabled, what I did before that was delete the paradox launcher and download it again, delete the game, download it again, delete all the mods from the work shop (although the game with mods works without problems, but there is no DLC)
Try clearing cache in the launcher
I completely removed the launcher
to the root
I wanna launch some mods, but when click Playsets, that error
What is this...
i dont know 😦
is that old europe 1300 version is up to date?
could try reinstalling installer
u want to swap playset in mainmenu
than u enter into the playset submenu
and than swap back to ur desired playset
Is this a bug? I don't seem to have Improved Carrier Airframe after researching the 1940 fighter.
How do I fix this
Oh nvm, i realized i could just modify the zero template
sorry guys but how can i fix the texture of red portrait in template
anyone from the hoi4 development team could anser my question for now?(ik it's a year la-)
Remember that compensation code for microsoft players? well mine failed, sorry for replying to late; however, it refused to work after many attempts, and request a new code
@languid vessel im so sorry for pinging but i need ts
so bad
hi yall I have a problem with Paradox launcher and HOI4 to be exact because the newest update of the launcher doesnt work for me so I uninstalled it and installed it again and it works on the old one but each time it wants to update all by its own and I am wondering if I can install permanently the old version. I mean the old one which still was valid yesterday
dm the bot
or u can ping chak maybe
Do not ping PDX members
try this
We would refer you to this in the ticket system anyway
I’ve tried that, but it didn’t have my situation
I am getting this message after the Paradox launcher update
Did you verify the files ?
ok is anyone tech savvy with the launcher cause nothing i do is working
i need to reinstall it
Game is crashing on a specific date (Oct. 5, 1942) not sure how to fix it
Guys i have a problem vanilla hoi4 doesn't start it crashes and it says ti me that failed to load the map i tried verification of the files uninstall completely the game but nothing and then on the error files i found this (Failed to find entity "ITA_mechanized_vehicle_1_entity" for attachment in vehicle) did i miss any dlc?
Maybe axis armour pack
Really? Some said to me that i need the trial of aliegence dlc
Hey so I just bought the prototype units pack and I'm wondering how to obtain the XB-35? Its a bomber but doesn't show up in research or special projects :l
The dlc
Was only a unit sprite dlc
It dosent use the special projects
Extremely lame
I actually dont know
Id would just check to see if you can change unit model with planes
guys is i5 14400F cpu good for this game?
Id assume the 7600 is better value
yep but more expensive sadly
14400 would be good, yes, if its cheaper thats good
bc anyway i go from i3 8100 so evry cpu is upgrade
mhm
but thanks
when will there be a bug patch for Hoi4
I've been having a bug where clicking the frontline button crashes my game in OWB and the devs might have been saying it may be a problem with paradox itself
what do i do for this?
Hello, me and several friends encountered a small issue when using nakama, the situation at hand is person A can't connect/join a lobby that hosted by anyone, but when person A hosted a multi, everyone else can join to person A lobby. We've tried to look for potential issue with connection/firewall but everything is fine on person A's side. Is it possible the problem could be from ISP or something? Person A already tried to verify file integrity via steam, and reinstall but the problem still appeared. For the time being we continued to play using steam connection
Steam does HOI's matchmaking I think so it being ISP seems unlikely
So it's not connection being an issue but possibly from person A hoi4 client maybe?
At this point haven't tried any other method to look for the issue cause this never happened for me and my friends before
But will try to look into it

Nice pfp
Goin down to south park to have myself a time
It makes me happy as a Coloradoan that south park is pretty much my states legacy.
@ruby dragon What are your specs first of all?
Ty you too 
Only the peak seasons, like...17-21 or so
Not even season 1-3? That was some of my favorite south park
I like almost every episode but the pip one
I watched seasons 1-23 but only 17-20 are particularly good IIRC
I do agree
~~Brb gotta warn myself for offtopic in #tech-support ~~
lol
I saw that, Dempsey, lol
Saw what?
I saw you join VC then leave instantly xd
Where you map moding
Because if you where you will need to go to open browes location files go to states and remove the states, then go to document/paradox interactive/heart of iron 4/history/states
And do the same thing
None, I don’t do map modding
I’ll check and remove the states though
does anyone please have a hoi4 key extra please let me get i want to play so bad and cant afford it please and ty
anybody know how to fix the bug that removes a ship's name when you update its MIO under production? tired of "Ship Names" being half my capital ship
I think it is to be fixed soon
Hi, can anyone help? my game is getting stuck after launching during the initialising stage, i can hear the music in the background. I have reinstalled the game and i have installed the latest graphics drivers
Tried Paradox Launcher. Doesn’t load in either
i have low fps at millenium dawn but i have good pc what i do?
change render? lower settings?
I know you said that you have a good pc, but what exactly are the specs
Yeah.... Md is not going to run good on those specs
Play a different modern-day mod
yes that
kk
If you really want to play md, you will need to upgrade
proc of gpu?
Idk
Depends on where you live
the 1050 ti is still fine for hoi4 and all mods
Its your cpu
btw
is theres any way that u could recommend me some good cpu for 300 bucks
I cant
Im still using a 10 year old gaming laptop
Anyone know how to fix a mod showing up in the launcher but not working in game and it also having no file size in the launcher? Ive used a github download for the mod which is probably why its messing up but anyone know how to get it working?
find the mod file in your local files and delete it manually then sub back to the mod and let it download (do not launch the game before it's done)

the only thing i can guess is road to 56?
I dont think Road 56 is very compatible with many of those mods
maybe...
but they used to work together
when i last played
oh yeah there is a road 56 update every month right? im gonna just try and reinstall it
Smarter AI sounds like something thats not gonna work with mods
Yes
Reinstalling is pointless
then what should i do? redo with smart ai disabled?
I think the front thing is a hardcoded bug
oof...
but unrelated, you still probably have conflicting mods
how do i check for conflicting mods? on the road to 56 page?
No, just check in-game
-Show speed in construction view is broken with Rt56 too isnt it?
Rt56 has more building types, so are they not misaligned?
Maybe only if you research the extra types
Show speed in construction view has been broken on its own for awhile
a new version was made
but I think that auto-assumes where buttons are
My subscription looks like this but my credit card works for everything else.
I cant access my subscription DLCs
If I'm trying to rollback my hoi4 version to play non-updated mods and I need two or more mods installed which have different most recent versions, do I rollback to the older one or the newer one
Guys
I played around a bit with the nudge tool
And can't revert it
Can anyone help
Please
I've left the game and gone back on
That doesn't work
Please help
...
I think I messed up BIG time
😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭😭 😭 😭 😭😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭😭 😭 😭
After some research
I realise I may as well quit HOI4
Welp
Why did I try modding 😭😭
Verify game files
Wdym
Verify game files
Just 1 sec
I should've sticken to kovas' states😔
I'm verifying integrity of files
Ok
It's done
Oh wait
Still doin it
Then I'll get on and see
@alpine shard
Will I lose mods, and DLC subscription?
no
It just checks to make sure all vanilla files arent tampered with. And if they are it will reinstall them back to normal.
