Greetings!

We just released a tiny patch to resolve a security issue tied to the way LUA libraries were loaded for mods. We also took the opportunity to resolve some minor issues with the subscription test we've been running.

  • Subscription download improvements.
  • Updated Subscription text
  • Potential security issue fixed.

This patch should hopefully not have any effect on save games.

Thanks for letting us know. Will look into it.

Did this security issue only affect the latest patch or is it in all the previous ones, making older patches unsafe?

Unfortunately a security issue present in all previous versions

For clarification:
- Is it an issue that appeared with the new patch, or is it an old issue?
- Does this affect all mods?
- Does it affect everyone?

I have like 10 mods installed. In the launcher though, every single one is shown in two versions, normal and with the same notification as KaiserArg has shown. And this is the case since the release of the launcher. So, yeah, he's not the only one.
 
- Does it affect everyone?
At least the people I know

- Does this affect all mods?
I only know that is the case in MP that use a personalized mod. The links are never in the paradox workshop because this error pops-up and it automatically disables the mod when you click the switch in the launcher

- Is it an issue that appeared with the new patch, or is it an old issue?
Its been the case for months, not sure if its older.

Sorry for not being more helpful, its just that since the paradox workshop has so many problems in easy to just use the steam workshop and thus I don't know that much.

I see that there is a not for problem reports in the title sorry for posting this here.

PD: There has also been a lot of crashes using mods without leaving any explanation in the logs

Im having problem with this version
You can hover over the red triangle to get more information. If that doesn't help you solve the problem, it is best if you post in the tech support forum. Please include the error message that you get when hovering over the red triangle and which OS you use and if you are on windows, please attach the output of dxdiag to that post.
 
the message is "Launching the game failed"
There are many possible reasons for that error. To narrow it down somewhat try to start the game from eu4.exe (eu4.app on macOS). If that works, the problem is usually one of these:
  1. you configured the game to run as administrator, but the launcher doesn't run as administrator. In that case disable the option to run the game as administrator
  2. your have an antivirus or ransomware protection software that prevents the launcher from writing its files. In that case you have to add the launcher(and eu4) to the exception list of your software
  3. the launcher installation is broken. In that case try the instructions to reinstall the launcher from this support article
If the game also doesn't work if you start eu4(.exe/.app) directly, it is best if you post in the tech support forum. Please include in your post which OS you use and if you are on windows, please attach the output of dxdiag to that post.
