My checksum is always different from everyone else's and I cant seem to get it to the right one. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times and I even did a clean install by deleting everything CK3/Paradox related in my steam, documents. and roaming folders to make sure there is no trace of older saves/files left and the checksum is still the same. I've looked to other forums regarding the same issue and followed the steps the same and the problem still persists. Any other suggestions???
 
Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.
