CK3 Steam - Mod List Vanished

[VikingSyrup]

So forgive me if this has been addressed already or in the wrong place. I couldn't find a CKIII tech support. The latest update to the Crusader Kings III launcher looks pretty spiffy. Unfortunately it also doesn't seem to register that I have any mods installed. Or if it does, I am not sure how to turn them on/off like I did with the previous version of the launcher.

It gets weirder. Because I was playing with a mod suite before the launcher updates, I can't play the base vanilla game, because I can't access any of my mods to turn them on/off. So the base game for me is modded.

Am I the only one facing this bug?

Please try the following:

- unsubscribe from all mods
- delete the folder Documents/paradox/CK3/mod/
- delete the file Documents/paradox/CK3/mods_registry.json
- delete the file Documents/paradox/CK3/launcher-v2.sqlite
- subscribe to a few mods
- run the game up and see if those mods are now available to you.

I hope that does it for you!

I have been having the same problem and followed your suggested steps but it didn't work. I can see my playsets when I log into my paradoxplaza account (see attached screenshot) but the launcher doesn't seem to fetch them from there or the mods I subscribed to from the steam workshop. The documents/paradox/ck3/mods folder also stays empty. I even completly uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game to no avail. I really hope there will be a fix for this soon.

Here's an expanded process that should now fix this:


- unsubscribe from all mods
- delete the folder Documents/paradox/CK3/mod/
- delete the file Documents/paradox/CK3/mods_registry.json
- delete the file Documents/paradox/CK3/launcher-v2.sqlite

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. You should add steam.exe and C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2021.1/paradox launcher.exe to that list.

- subscribe to a few mods
- run the game up and see if those mods are now available to you.

I hope that does it for you!

Ahh so the new launcher got a new directory, thats where the problem was in my case, i already had to add an exception for the previous version to my antivirus program. Thanks a lot for your help everything is working fine now.

I also originally freaked out, but it seems all mods are working fine, it's just the launcher not showing them. It definitelly doesn't seem to be a problem on our side.

Did you go through everything in post #4? That process has been very successful in addressing these issues.

What AV app do you use?

I've done everything in post #4, in addition I also uninstalled and reinstalled CK3 just in case, and manually added the previous version of the Paradox Launcher too. (Though #4 only said to add the latest one.) I just can't seem to get it to click either.

What antivirus app are you using? We're seeing particular problems with Avast but others could be an issue too.

Is is still the same problem as your OP, after all that? Or has it changed at all?

Well, I don't know about everyone else, but for me it started working again today without doing anything. I guess the launcher got updated, because it's a bit different than before.

I suspect your AV app got updated actually, or accommodated itself to the launcher, which did not change in the last day or so.

Windows Defender and Avast: but don't worry I failed to ensure Avast had all the right exceptions. Just fixed that and now my mods are working beautifully. Thank you for your patience w/ me!
