Hello, where should I start if no mods at all work for me? I'm on linux, launching through steam, and the base game is fine, but adding any mod makes CK3 fail to start and pop up a crash reporter. How should I debug this?

I have no idea, sorry, I don't use mods - maybe try the User Mods forum on that? Same with the version search question.Is there an "empty" or "do nothing" mod I could test?
Launcher error logs are here:Where does the launcher put its error logs?
What distro?Having the same issue. Any up to date mod enabled causes a crash on launch. Also Linux.
It's Fedora, which I understand is not fully supported. I have tried about 9 different mods now and any mod, even with just one enabled, causes a crash on launch. All mods work with the latest version when I play them on on my Windows machine. It has always been this way, and just saw this thread and noticed I wasn't alone.What distro?
Has it always happened, or used to be okay at some point?
Have you checked with the mod authors, maybe they have a problem on Linux only?
I appreciate you trying to help.Does that just happen with CK3? Your other games like CK2 and EU4 are okay with mods?
What launcher version do you see? Current is 2021.10
And at what point does this crash occur? While the launcher is starting or running, or while starting or running the game from it?
Yes I'm sure there is a way to move them over.That should not be necessary of course! I'm glad it worked out for you.
Saves in the Steam Cloud should still be available. Local save files might have to be moved, but I know nothing about how Proton handles user files.
So I figured out why this was happening with the native version. There was no "mod" folder here: "~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mod". Create the mod folder in the path shown and try again.I'm having the same issue in Ubuntu 22.04, also tried it with Ubuntu 20.04. I've tried dozens of mods, they all just crash. Is there any sort of fix for this besides using the windows version and proton?
Thank you! I will try it.So I figured out why this was happening with the native version. There was no "mod" folder here: "~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mod". Create the mod folder in the path shown and try again.
Looks like I already had the folder. Thanks for the idea though.So I figured out why this was happening with the native version. There was no "mod" folder here: "~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/mod". Create the mod folder in the path shown and try again.
No luck with the permissions. Thanks again for the assistance. I suppose I'll have to switch to the proton version eventually.Maybe check the folder permissions? If that doesn't work, you can still mod using proton. I had to go proton for a while because of this issue and had to manually install using the method described in this video:
If using proton, be sure to install in the correct "pfx" folder. Not ideal, but it works.
Linux is case sensitive, is it exactly mod ?Looks like I already had the folder. Thanks for the idea though.
