Nope - I'm getting that too. Maybe Paradox should not update their launcher the same day a game updates. I doubt its so much their servers having hiccups as it is their servers being overloaded by the sheer volume of downloads.

The game won't start at all. I get to the main menu (screenshot attached), and all of the buttons are completely non-responsive. I think it's because I had my resolution set to 4K (UI scaled up), the game seems to be trying to revert to 1080p when launching. I can't even get to the options to change the settings. If I move my mouse way to the right of the options button, it gets highlighted and I can click on it, but then I can't change any of the options.

I have no mods installed. I completely uninstalled HOI4, then reinstalled it from scratch. It did not fix the problem.

For me the game work completely fine as that I'm playing it right now.

It's an issue with DirectX 11, you can fix it by exiting the game's window and then returning

The localization for the new states is completely borked for me (either not showing or stuff like MORE Tannu Tuva)
 
I would also like to see the Air Force allowed to be deployed as in the past.
Every 10/100 aircraft is not historical placement.
Also, I am not convinced that the number of carrier-borne aircraft can only be changed by 10 aircraft each.

I have the same issue as you where my screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, the game somehow starts in I think 1366 x 768 when in full screen. As @Star Seeker mentioned, just exit the game window via window key and return will fix it. Personally I just set it to borderless fullscreen, easier that way.
