@ancient orbit
I mean if it did end it up getting fixed, you don't have to thank me as in that wasn't the whole fix
ok but whats the fix tho
I was going to ask you to send me your "Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron 4/logs/system.log" and compare it with my valid install to find which file caused the issue

and hes name doesnt appear

Anyone who can help me?
I'm trying to play with my friend, but my checksum is 8a38 ingame but a73d in the launcher. My friends checksum is also a73d in both the launcher and ingame. Wtf do I do?
I've tried uninstalling all of my mods, and clearing user cache and whatever, it still doesn't work
Verified files on steam? @cobalt knot
I'm sorry but I figured it out which is why I didn't answer
it was just uninstalling the game and removing the HOI4 folder in the directory
which worked apparently
@hard bridge make sure that your audio output is set to your speakers/headphones
Whenever I launch and close my game, steam says my app is running even though it doesn't show upon task manager or my hotbar and I need to restart steam in order to launch the game agani
does anyone know how to fix thisproblem?
I reinstalled my game, checked file integrity and it still happen
No it's not fixable
do we know what makes it happen?
Just kill steam through the taskbar
I do that
No I do not know
and it happens the next time
Probably paradox being incompetent
oof
Keep doing that yes

I am from pakistan
Lol
Question: AI Germany is unable to beat AI France
Is there anything I can do except strengthening them
I might have an idea
maybe like teleport an army of 24 just to the south of the area I defend as The Netherlands
so they sort of can bypass the Belgian armies
Honestly I have had that same problem playing as the usa and I wanted to beat a strong axis so I just tagged over to France and deleted all their armies on the german front
Not ideal
But it got the job done
So when I run the better states mod it has issues loading the map and crashes, I have tried running it by itself and it runs fine, so I thought some of the mods were conflicting, but then I tried them each with the better states and they all worked, so then I tried them all again and it worked. But then I played a few hours later and the same issue happened where it crashed, so I took out better states and it ran fine. Then I added it back and it ran fine. anyone else have this problem?
I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and the same thing
What do I do when I don’t have the correct game state.
@lament wadi check for mods, reinstall game
I can't open Hoi4 from steam, it doesn't open paradox launcher
but I can open it from local files
@raw briar Do you have any launch arguments?
Does it show the game as running?
Not in task manager and Steam
I clicked PLAY in steam, it turned to STOP for a while and soon later it turn back to PLAY again
but I can open from local .exe file
When I open it from desktop shortcut and Steam, it just show up preparing to launh Heart of Iron 4 and then nothing happen
Hey so when I launch HOI my mods are on but then I get in game they aren't there. The mods that aren't appearing in game are Road to 56, Player Lead Peace Conferences, Peace Mid War, German March Collection, and some other unimportant music mods. I've already checked game files, uninstalled all the mods, then launched the game with no mods, and then reinstalled the mods, I've uninstalled HOI and repeated the process above and it still doesn't work. Some mods are working and I'm not getting any crashes, they just aren't there when I get in game.
Don't use RT56 there done
Hi, when I want to enter MP in HOI4 instead of having the 1.9.2 a73d I have other, for example 1.9.2 bf66, and I can´t join Multiplayers, I tried to reset the checksum, the user directory and i`ve seen videos and I can´t
Go to steam > HOI4 > Properties > Launch Arguments and add -checksum
Then launch the game(fully) and send me your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron 4/logs/system.log I'll check
Yeah, a new one came up and I closed out then another one came up and I closed out then another one came up that I could drag and it would duplicate
yup
Can't open Heart of Iron 4 from Steam.
But can open from Source file
I think it's launcher problem
Someone had a similar issue recently maybe try searching for their message to see if they found a fix
Oh it was you, my helping skills are 100 today
Has anyone else experienced an issue where ships meant to go to a task force to fill the template requirement jump around between the destination and going back to reserve in a loop? Is this a bug?

Issue
So bassicly i can't launch Hoi4. It will load to around 40% and crash. This error will be displayed complaining about how it can't load the map.
What was i doing at the time
I was trying to make my own country but confuesed it with a "how to create a state" and made a half working state. However, in the tutorial video i had to delete 3 files at some point "so that they don't conflict". I belive they were: History, Localisation, and one other i can't remember. I realised that i was creating a state, not a country only after the video ended. And went to find a video i can use to create a country. I did all the things but i was in -debug mode the whole time so i had no issues opening the game, i allso didn't need to open the game at all, sinse i knew state IDs wich i needed. After completing the mod, i exited the "-debug" mode, activated the mod and started the game. 40% loaded in, and it crashed. Displaying this error massage. I first turned off my mod and then started the game. Same thing happend. I then did all the things and they all failed. Then i obviosly tried reinstalling the game... Still the same error massage on the same spot.
Please help me, i really miss playing Hoi4.
I deleted all my mods.
I think i deleted: History, Log, Map.
@silent mango Do not edit your game files, make a new mod using the launcher and make your changes there
Yeah i learned that the hard way.

@ancient orbit CURSED
if you look at him from VERY far he doesnt lookthat bad
I don’t know if this is the right channel but, can someone help me to fix my game
My game says “launching the game failed.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the game but that didn’t fix it. I’ve also check the integrity of the files and nothing comes up.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
when you uninstalled did you delete everything or only steam uninstall?
Only a steam uninstall
you could try to completely uninstall
How do I do that.
go to your files, select the hoi folder and delete it + delete in steam
Will I need to buy it again?
99% sure you wont
but im just some guy on the internett
i havent needed to buy again and i have done it multible times
@wanton ivy As long as your game isn't pirated, it should work if you do a fresh install of the game. Is the paradox launcher loading, or is it broken from the start? (Plz ping me your response so I can find this, otherwise I'll forget.)
@unborn kiln the launcher for the game loads up, it’s when I press play or resume it says launching game has failed.
Logs? There should be some in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron 4/logs called exception/error
@wanton ivy I would definitely check your logs like @ancient orbit said. One issue could be that the launcher is failing to find the .exe file for hoi4. Are they installed in the same directory?
I don’t have a logs folder for hoi4. My EU4 has one, but not hoi. I presume that’s why the game isn’t opening
@wanton ivy Probably, sounds like the launcher and game are in separate locations. Do you have multiple drives for your pc?
@unborn kiln yes I do.
@wanton ivy Are all of your steam games kept on the same drive?
@unborn kiln yes they are.
@wanton ivy Do you have any other Paradox games installed?
@unborn kiln yes. EU4 that has the same problem as my Hoi4. Launcher opens, but says the game fails to launch
@wanton ivy activate debug mode, add the flag "-debug" to HoI's launch options on Steam
Then tell me what it logs
what
lol
guys somebody help
in the logs first it said this

now i fixed that
but now it appears this
[04:59:49][bitmapfont.cpp:1301]: Couldnt find texticon: location_pointerUma
[05:03:46][bitmapfont.cpp:1301]: Couldnt find texticon: location_pointerUma
what's location_pointerUma
@tired hinge Vanilla? The filename is similar to a file in the game called location_pointer.dds
gfx/texticons
i can start the game from the .exe hoi4
but i can't boot up mods
since it just skips the launcher
@tired hinge I believe you can enable mods without the launcher
Even then you shouldn't have to
ok but how do i fix the game
The launcher doesn't work correct?
yes
@tired hinge Any errors, unusual thing in logs? And was the launcher always broken or did it break after some event?(update, electrical outage)
nope
nothing
it just says it's missing that
my logs are normal
the mod one is fixed
That problem shouldn't stop the launcher from launching, anything weird in Documents > Paradox Interactive > launcher-v2 logs?
What about Users > Your User > .paradoxlauncher? (might be hidden)
i checked the mod folder
there's only 1
instead of having the others
oh i see
it's in local appdata
that thing
here's the logs
Any errors?
where
i see something
in the c patch
in 3 it says warning
There was no mapping between account names and security IDs.
@tired hinge Doesn't have any errors, is the launcher on task manager when you launch it?
thanks
I edited the province of Singapore (In the base game) and splitted it into two provinces. But everytime I start my game with these two provinces in my folder my game chrashes and this shows up. + In the crash report every single state in the two provinces isn't assigned to any state
I already split up another province into two and that worked totally fine
@acoustic idol Send your changes (also I hope that you didn't edit the game folder and made a mod?)
Yeah I edited the mod but what do you mean with changes?
The file you editted
ahhh
These are all the states I edited. Mostly I only changed cores and buildings and it was fine. But in the states Burma + South Burma I changes provinces and it worked out fine as well. My problem is with Singapore and Malaysia. I edited the states there the same way but it doesnt work
@acoustic idol Remove the } in the 19th line
The province of Malaysia is still not there : (
these are still all of the errors
It's just like the provinse doesn't get recognized.
@acoustic idol Also remove } in 27th line, the file above is 336-Singapore and the other is 798-Mal right?
Yeah, and change the id and name of mal file
ohhh
That was the problem
Thanks for your help
But I have more questions
First of all what the hell is this?
And another thing. How can I fix the color bug with the neon colors?
@acoustic idol You also need to edit map/building.txt, see https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/State_modding also #modding might be better for this
ok
hi
whenever i load hearts of iron, it says it's not working
and it then goes away and takes almost 10 minutes to load i kid you not

Uninstall and and reinstall?
ive already tried re-installing it and it didn't work
i'll try it again
alright
so i just uninstalled it and it was streaming from the other computer

that was stupid
i just realised that i could go into my accc's settings and then disable the stream thing
Hello, I don't know if this is the wrong text channel, but how do I change my pic in discord?

How do I completely delete my rt56 including the file thing
It keeps giving me an error on when I get halfway downloading saying it failed to load map verify the integrity of your files disable and reenable all of your mods but I do that and nothing works
@ancient orbit Steam Workshop?
me and my friends have different checksums with the same mods and we tried reinstalling the mod. we have looked it up and nothing has fixed it
that hasent wored
@naive lava If that's still a problem PM me
@ancient orbit No, did you download the mod from the steam workshop?
We fixed it by having two of us with the different checksum unsubscribe to the mod, but wait until hoi4 says its done validating, then resubbed, and waited again. For some reason, it worked
It keeps giving me an error on when I get halfway downloading saying it failed to load map verify the integrity of your files disable and reenable all of your mods but I do that and nothing works
@ancient orbit Documents > Paradox > HOI4 > Mod, then delete all the files

@sweet current why all

@ancient orbit go to your steamapps/workshop/content/394360 check the folder with R56 thumbnail, delete that folder and one in Bernadotte said which is ugc_<the name of the folder you deleted>
@ancient orbit go to your steamapps/workshop/content/394360 check the folder with R56 thumbnail, delete that folder and one in Bernadotte said which is ugc_<the name of the folder you deleted>
@ancient orbit thanks
@ancient orbit is till need help nvm
both vic2 and EU4 crash after launch the launch screen is perfectly fine until i click play it says the game is running but the screen is frozen and not there
Sounds like something on the launchers ens
for some reason when i started hoi 4 today i get a black screen, the very top edge of the screen seems to still be playing the game, the mouse works, and the game says its responding still, any clue as to a fix?
I need help, Whenever i try and launch Hoi4, i get a bootstrap error and cant launch launcher, i tried Deleting and redownloading, Changing the Path to PDX, Going into the built in Launcher Repair, and when i try to launch Dozer it says the same message
@iron sable Try to delete these 3 folders
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Paradox Interactive\launcher-v2
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Paradox Interactive\launcherpath
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Paradox Interactive\launcher-v2
@onyx plover Are you running the game in fullscreen? If so can you try to run it windowed?
i managed to fix it i made it borderless and it works fine now
I fixed it, I had to copy the files to my OS for some reason, delete the old files, delete the new update, then redownload the update
Thank you tho @ancient orbit
I'm having a problem starting the game from the launcher as well, I tried deleting the 3 files but i can't find them in my files
Verify on steam, and then try again. If no luck i reckon its just easier to reinstall the game
if its a launcher problem that wont work
@ancient orbit hey, wanna join me in helping lounge, i can see if i can help
@iron sable if you dont mind that would be great
I have 293 hours and I was going to play today but hoi4 is super laggy just out of no where. i cant even play it at all
I have had the same problem before and I had no idea what the fix was. My recomendation is to go into Steam, your library, right click on HOI4, properties, and then click on verify integrity of game files.
Most problems can be fixed with a simple restart of your application. You can also try relaunching steam to check for an update which may affect your connection. If the problem persists you should try rebooting your system. There may be a windows update or some other things. Also, try going into your device manager and checking if all your devices such as graphics cards are properly updated. Also just tend to monitor your RAM usage and more through the Task Manager. You can also go to steam settings and turn on the frame rate counter for your games to check if you have a frame rate drop problem.
Soo windows has like 13 updates is that why hoi4 broke
anybody else having trouble logging in? i get a red triangle trying to start up hoi4 and it says launching the game failed
already tried reinstalling and repairing th efiles
fixed hoi4
I had to update windows
i did that still doesn't work
Mods?
Whenever I invade Poland with the help of the USSR the game crashes.
Could it maybe be a mod I have or?
@crude shore What mods do you have?
A upgraded nuke and thicc city
@crude shore Well never heard of 'em but mods can indeed crash the game, try disabling them. You don't even have that many to try
Ok
Can someone help me with a problem
I've been having an error with hoi4
Here's a brief example
@ancient orbit And does it happen without modern day mod?
plus you could, you know, show us the error.log file as it says in the error
@ancient orbit And does it happen without modern day mod?
@snow agate no
Which modern day mod are you using?
The Millennium dawn one
Try reinstalling it.
@ancient orbit you still didn't show us your error.log though
@snow agate. G here ya go download it
I bought all the dlc's from way back and from now
They cost a lot of my money but it was worth it
ok it was just an idea from seeing your log as a huge spam of these, plus MTG, WTT and others
did you reinstall only the mod or the whole game?
Do i need to disable a mod then?
did you reinstall only the mod or the whole game?
@snow agate yes
you already said you only had millenium dawn active, right?
Full reinstall
you already said you only had millenium dawn active, right?
@snow agate. Yes
But I have a different mod that works
It's like a bad kaiserriech
Only mod that I can play
im not sure if even a game reinstall will delete the HoI IV folder in your Documents
Maybe try unsubscribing the mod, and make sure to empty these folders (which will delete all of your mods):
- ~/Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod
- ...\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360
you mean you got another version of millenium dawn or just another mod?
Yes already tried that to
try activating debug mode ("-debug" in Steam's HoI IV launch arguments) to see if it outputs anything useful
dunno if it'll be different from error.log but it'll write stuff to a console
Aight I'll try that
there are a lot of copies
when do you crash?
It crashes when it gets to the "initializing game" part
is it this one? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=719416488&searchtext=millenium+dawn
@snow agate yes
well it runs fine for me at least
So I was playing hoi4 with my brother MP lan then out of no where my pc force alt tab it self to desktop then fans kick into high gear and goes max speed then I forcibly shut down the pc then we try again I get failed to create a graphics device and fixed it then we try again and when I joined the save is going to me and it starts again
@snow agate. I fixed the thing I just gotta manually install it by myself
From a link that a youtube video gave me
I think there was some update with the paradox launcher on steam but whener I try to turn mods on, it turns the launcher into a blank screen and I cant turn on/off any mods
ever since i downloaded la resistance my hoi4 has been crashing, i dont have a bad pc, anyone got any ideas why?
it crashes when it autosaves
Modded or vanilla?
vanilla
I am getting a different checksum (025b)
my friends are getting different
We all have same mods
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/589311099674034176/743890461256843285/unknown.png
I is here to ask how to fix game size. Because mine does not look like this. I've had a game where I gotten to point of having nukes but unlike in this picture they do I thought this was Normal on PC but apparently not thanks to Aaron
I need help hoi4 my game just crashes after a few minutes playing the game with mods but I tried playing without mods but it still does the same thing
@vernal sparrow i just had a thought, have you messed with the ui scaling in the settings?
Nope haven't messed with any settings ever
Next time your in the game, try those settings and see if anything changes
Ok
🤔
I've reinstalled everything and it still won't work
annoying af
Does it say anything?
Just the crash message thing
Or it just crashes
Oh
I'm going to install another game and see if it is a hoi or steam issue
One did and another did not
idk at this point
seriously pissed at that forced update rn
Perhaps an antivirus is blocking it? Im no expert so idk
Bahbahboy
Normal is probably 1, but do any of the others do anything?
I went to .5 but it made it very little
Ok I changed it to 0.9 it better now idk if it'll shot how many nuke tho yet will find out in UK game
Also
Is it possible to record Hoi4 games without lagging the game to death?
And having to use mod to lessen lag
My issue was the windows update. I reverted to the prior version of windows 10 and it is working fine.
Odd
So my HOI4 wont let me turn on/off any mods and its really frustrating. I've uninstalled the game, verified game files. Uninstalled and reinstall my mods and it still isnt working. I do have the mod file though.
Try running the launcher as admin. You can also try reinstalling the launcher in the Documents directory.
Ok. I'll try that
i have kinda same problem with loading mods for me when i click add mods it just goes to a blank screen
Bruh what no they dont
because rt56 sucks
dude like I like all the focus trees and all of the other stuff in road to 56 but the ai building 500+ ships atleast in my games with like 2 dockyards is just dumb
Dude the AI doesn't cheat with production unless you boost them in the start up
dude like I like all the focus trees and all of the other stuff in road to 56 but the ai building 500+ ships atleast in my games with like 2 dockyards is just dumb
@lunar wren It doesn't build 500+ ships unless you count convoys, what do you mean?
Yeah he's looking at Sweden's default navy and thinking they build it
launcher are broken rip
launcher are broken rip
@echo magnet I founda potential fix on the Old World Blues server, try this
If there is anyone who's mods still aren't working after the pinned potential fix above, would you be willing to try this out? It seemed to have worked for me.

Hmmm

I have never seen that before, maybe try resetting your computer.
That happened to me, is that when you try to turn any mods on?

Error Loading map when using mod.
Just one mod? Or multiple?
same
it was multiple mods being used in tandem
But the "Historical Project" mod was the problem I think, i removed that mod then tried again and it worked
can 1.9.3 mods used in 1.9 version
most likely yes
Yeah probably
you'd have to try yourself
it depends on what the mod adds and what exactly changed between version numbers
@alpine island what code did u write the bot in?
ruby best code
shut up spain
no matlab best code
Whenever I join an MP game it crashes how do I fix this?
Why didn't you make the bot in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming_language) ?
That means attrition
That means you are out of supply
game unplayably slow for some reason
And I don't mean just late game slow
I was playing a late game a couple days ago
saved it
etc
today I go back to the game and it's just unplayable
I mean in the most literal sense
it wasn't like this before; literally nothing has changed
anyone knows what to do?
AI probably did something
wdym
It's slow even for choosing a country
unbearably slow too
just the start map
Im puzzled
sonds awfully like something is using up your cpu
yea , I go to ms settings and shut down every single non microsoft app
@ancient orbit
Check the dusk of your computer
Unplug and replug anything you recognize
Scan for virus and malwares
By using Malwarebytes and Windows 10's one
Or buy a new computer
Hey #tech-support I’m having an issue where @ancient orbit cannot join the voice chat “Helper Lounge” do we know if it’s a across the board issue or a specific issue with him
@summer karma I changed the channel settings so everyone should be able to see it, if he still cant it's on his side.
@sweet current thanks but I fixed the issue! Thanks anyway, of course. 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

Does anyone else have this problem were the Hoi4 launcher just like stops working and looks like this? https://gyazo.com/4878945aa40c2fb137aba2737189fdc5
like, it looks like its starting to work, then the screen just turns blank
nvm solved it by just opening it in the file location
Hi I can't join my friends when playing with mods for some reason. We have the same mods active so I'm wondering why that happens
I'm on Linux btw
@ancient orbit
Hmm
Clear your cache
Make sure y'all are on the same versions
Reinstall your mods
We did that. Still wouldn't work. Our versions are different with the same mod active
The only mod we're using is Road to 56
versions are different...
We removed the user data, unsubbed from the mod, reinstalled the game. The checksum is still different with the mod active
you have to have the same hoi4 version and the rt56 same verison
The checksum is the same without mods
its not like 1.3.2 hoi4 can play with 1.9.3
We both have 1.9.3 (a7a4)
same mod version?
yeah
Same mod version
It just gives us a different checksum
I did the steps above and now my HOI4 does not even load in my mods even if they say in the launcher they are enabled
Both of you need to uninstall rt56 and reinstall
That's what we did like 3 times
First thing you need to compare is checksums.
Usually this happens when either one pc is unable to receive connections (very strict internet security)
or the checksums are not equal.
But there are only very few pcs that actually have too strict security system in place.
Checksums are only different when rt56 is active
Idk about other mods
Vanilla works just fine
Maybe it's because I'm on Linux?
I'm wondering why they are different. We reinstalled the mod and the game 3 times and it still shows us a different checksum when the mod is active.
no one asked @civic forum
hard to check whats wrong from here
@civic forum
I do not know but try unplugging it from the electricity and wait a few secs and re plug it
Alright
Nope
Fuc
help me please my mods dont work
it says they are downloaded on the launcher
but when i load up the game it nothing happens and it just reverts to vanilla
all my mods were working yesterday than it just stopped
@helper
please can someone give a responce i got an mp game to go to
Try changing your playset
correct version?
I have a graphical question for some of you. I’m running a machine with an RTX 2070 super and an intel i7 10700 with a 4K monitor. I tend to run my games 4K on max settings but have noticed lowish frame rates of 30-60.
The question is, while dropping to 4K medium or low settings will bring my fps back up, will I really be losing much in terms of graphical quality? I’ve been switching settings back and forth and looking at side by side comparisons and i feel like I’m driving myself crazy when there’s no real noticeable difference.
Are those frame rates while paused or while running?
While running.
I was running Conan exiles and decided to check my fps while in combat. It dipped to about 35.
30-60 while running is more than fine
this game is very CPU intensive and tends to run at like 10 fps for most people
at 5 speed
pretty much i have had this problem for days
and even downgrading on a different version i have the same thing.... 
even while the launcher is updating the game is broken
it kinda appears to be working
but for some reason it loads really long
and it resets the entire playset
delete descriptor files in Documents/Paradox/Hearts of Iron
Oops, sorry
I'm having issues with my keyboard where it uses the WASD on the main keyboard as similar things to the arrow keys and vice versa
I can't stand this anymore.
My game crashes every time i select my navy for the first time (Only in multiplayer because of internet.)
How do you fix this?
But it only freezes the game for the first time i select my navy.
So for some reason the launcher crashes when I want to select a mod from the expanded mod list
im launching my HOI4 from steam and it comes up with this:
Iv reinstalled Hoi and even un subed all my mods and it still does not launch,
it loads the play screen for a split second and then disapears any ideas?
Decisions that add equipment are not firing when I put specific models. Is that normal? Is it because the nation does not have the necessary tech? If so, how do I override the check so that they can get it anyway?
Just tried adding the tech and now the decision has the proper effect. Is there a way to make the game disregard technology when adding equipment? I don't see anything about this check in the documentation.
you're better off using the modding discord rather than this one
eu4 keeps running
i closed steam restarted and everything
but steam keeps seeing it as running
there is nothing running in task manager that resembles anything paradox related
Open steam tab
In task managsd
There might be a hidden extension
Look for CEFProcess.exe
thanks 😳
anyone have any clue what happened here?
all my mods are missing
it just started happening today
time to reinstall ugh
after reinstalling, still doesn't work
got it to work but only if i repair the launcher every time i open the game
if anyone has any other ideas im open
@naive lava verify game file integrity?
I did 3 times
@worn raptor
It “fixed it”
Only to have the issue again
Tried it again and it got stuck at 99 percent for a while but i had to go
hey guys idk why it wont let me activate my mods on hoi4
like it doesn't show the thing to activate them
@silent heath do u know whats wrong?
no
hhelloooo
me and my friend are both on latest
but we have different things inside the bracket
can someone advise me what to do
@ancient orbit Instead of clicking manage mods, click manage playset
that fixes it
but my issues is still happening
same here
it wont give me an option to disable nor enable mods
only in the playset but when I activate the mods in the playset it does not do what the mod is supposed to do
anyone know why i cant enable mods or disable mods? all i see are manage all mods add mods and mod tools
when i click on manage mods
uh
it usually doesnt allow me to do anything
but its a black screen rn
no x to x out or anything
anyone know?
it takes 10 minutes to log into my account
uhh
overall the launcher is very laggy
when i launch it says "an error occured" but logs me in regardless
the error is: "getting list of mods failed"
what can i do i dont want to play mellenium dawn 24/7
now its just saying i have no mods
also might be helpful to know that steam library is unresponsive, i cant click anything so i have to go to the store and click play now via there
help please
i wanna play hoi4
ill try reinstalling
nvm cant
thanks steam
wont respond
what do i do
got it to work, 20 minutes later
or got steam to work atleast
I have the same issue
Once i get it to work, the next time i play, it messes up again
so annoying
i think its a new bug or something, just came here with the same problem
mods wont load half the time and the launcher is being really slow
it usually takes about 3 seconds to load the mods, but now it takes at least one minute
and have you always had to click manage playset, or am I going insane?
nope thats new too
Has anyone had a fix for the recent launcher issues?
Whenever I try to join a multiplayer game it always says failed to connect.
I think that’s maybe because you don’t have the correct mod on, wrong password, wrong game ip or your running a later version of the game
Has anyone had a fix for the recent launcher issues?
@naive lava yes when I launch hoi4 the mods just wont load (the game just loads as base game, even tho mods are selected)
Mine won't load the mod list @urban gazelle
so it loads with the mods i previously had on
that i cannot turn off
Its apperently known bug atm
Yup i reported it like last week
they gave me a fix
but it only worked one time
the next time i started the launcher it doesn't work
@naive lava this is exactly the problem I have as well. My mods don't show up in the launcher, but the game starts with them all loaded.
Yeah its annoying
I just wanna play the game
BOYS
I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE FOUND A FIX
TRY TURNING THIS on next time
they mustve fixed it in the beta version
or for some reason this is just working for me
@distant island
@urban gazelle
was already on
maybe they pushed an update today because now my mods show up
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
well im proud that i can finally play the game with whatever mods i want
yea
I have the exact same problem i load up basegame and i tried the beta version
Hmm it seems like everyone has the same issue, but not the same fix...
I prayed to allah 5 times and started the game and exit the launcher til it fixed
nevermind. its gone back to not working. @naive lava
Got an issue-- I am a field marshal edition owning all DLC (except Bosporus as yet) and when I went into HOI4 it says unable to verify ownership of La Resistance and others?
What gives?
I think the launcher is still acting up
my game is not updating to 1.10
my game hasnt updated yet, dont know how to get it to 😦
i exited the game like 5 hours ago
steam says that its still running
theres nothing related to paradox in task manager
end task steam
I cant load up any other mods other then 1 mod
Thought up restarting ur pc @alpine island ?
how to get 1.10? i dont see on option in steam properties
also i bought dlc but im guessing i need 1.10 to play
nvm im dumb
Anyone found a fix for the launcher error?
Nope
apprently im missing MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll
when i tried to run hoi4.exe directly
any coders know where i can get those?
Did paradox just give up on the launcher
can anyone unserver mute me from admin abuse please
Please restrict the ability to server mute to only the server owners.
No
Il check in a few
well i cant find it, and i apologise, jump into a voice chat and il remove the mute ok?
Cheers 😄
fixed"
Thanks!
Anyone else cant load up anymods?
Hey, I'm playing Vanilla as Germany, the game crashes every time I complete First ljubljana award (hasn't happened before the recent patch, but then again, that's not a focus I normally do)
Hi all could I ask for some help with a problem
wat
So I am a Field Marshal user who is updated to the latest patch (and I also own all the new dlcs) but when I go to launch my game, even though the DLCs are enabled things aren't changing in my game
like La Resistance is enabled, but I don't have the ability to create an intelligence agency or anything
I honestly couldnt tell you
ik mods are having trouble loading up though
on game start
I sampled one mod and it does change tech trees and things (meaning the mod works)
but the DLCs are all messed up
Dreams of Poland Early Access works
in the sense that it will give me a whole new Polish focus tree and so forth
in version 1.9.3 or 1.10.1?
a polish focus tree should be fine, since it has nothing to do down where the new DLC and 1.10.1 where focused
1.10.1 is my launcher/game version
and the Battle for Bosporus comes up as Content as opposed to an Expansion is that working as designed?
Are we aware of the bug, where airplanes disappear from a conquered territory?
AFAIK it's been reported a dozen times on the official forum at least.
@balmy marsh Oh? Will check if mine works.
Hm, mine works.
thats been a bug for a while now
just waiting for pdx to get their collective heads out of their asses and fix the current long list of bugs instead of introducing more with every fucking patch
not salty at all ;p
To be fair it all happen before the release of the new dlc
Like 3 days before release and people were havin issues
what internet speed do u need to host well?
I wouldnt know, i think 50mb Up and down?
@hoary prawn delete ur hoi4 documents folder it just has saves and stuff i had an issue where i checced mods and it would launch vanilla but that fixed it
but i could only tic the mods in the playlist bit not in the main screen before
ye ty i fixed it
Hello, hope everyone is well and safe! I am getting an error when opening the game. I have disabled all mods, verified files, and cleared cache. Can anyone please help? Thank you in advance!
Guys,I change the version of my HoI4 and all megabytes are installed,but the actualization paused and when I dispaused,stops the download again.Have a solution?
wait can you send a screenshot
is this game more CPU or GPU reliant and will havin more or faster ram work better thanks
pls @ me
CPU reliant
but GPU can really help out too
RAM only really matters with AMD
@sand steppe ^
what specs do you have rn
2070S with 3700x
so enough but when i upgrade in like a year i want to know whats best thank you 🙂
that's a plenty good system
If I were you, I'd get AMDs new Socket gen
are you upgrading everything? or just the GPU or core system
we don't know what they'll have that gen, so
does anyone know why my paradox code to get other versions wont work ?
U type it in correctly
i fixed it
Anyone having an issue where their mod list doesn't load?
nearly everyone for the past couple weeks
Yup mine fixed when i opt in for beta launcher versions, idk why
which one?
me and my friend always end up with different versions when we select a version
we will both go 1.9.3
and then I get 47ce and he gets 0jec or something
in the bracket
can someone explain how this works?
@sonic solar
we have different launcher versions
I have the playset version
while he has the older one
For some reason whenever I try to load up Endsieg, the game plays as if the mod doesn't exist]
Actually, this seems to happen with every mod
The launcher has been kinda screwed for the past week or two
Or three
make it four
Why not a five
ok six final
How about a 7
cant do
my mod (after uploading on steam) is not loading in-game even with the mod turned on
It's happening to all of us
can anyone help me
i just bought hoi4
and i keep having hoi4 failed to connect
and when i press connect the game kinda like freezing like i cant press anything and if i press it gives me not responding
i cleared cache and reinstalled like 4 times
no mods
checksum dd56
@crisp canopy For the crashing thats a HOI4 thing. Just don't press anything until it either puts you in or fails to connect
As for failing to connect
yes?
There could be any number of reasons for that. You will have to be more specific in what your trying to do
If your trying to join a lobby with a password and put it in wrong or don't put one at all you fail to connect
If you try to join a modded lobby you will fail to connect (unless you have the proper mods yourself)
nah its vanilla
If your game is missing some files or has corrupted files you will probably fail to connect
i verified intergity also does it have anything to do with internet?
like if i change ports
It's possible but thats a rare problem, lets go through the more common and more likely problems first
Are you trying to join a lobby with a password?
Do you have the same checksum as lobby host?
yes
