Game launches in a different version than the launcher/ Game launches in the wrong version

[HP2000]

I have been trying to play with a friend in the past days and he always laggs behind. But only when Im hosting and I have all the DLCs.
We found the error: His game is on the newest version. Mine isnt.
So I updated the game and in the launcher it even said that it was running on the newest version but when I start my game it doesnt launch with the newest version. It still launches as Husky v.1.9.3 (a342) although the newest Version is a7a4. It even says a7a4 in the launcher. I need help.

"Husky v1.93 (a7a4)" and "Launcher v 2020.12" should be displayed by the initial Launcher screen. If this screen is showing you (a342) you need to go through your Steam library and update HOI4. The version you are seeing after you hit "Play" in the Launcher (the Singleplayer/Multiplayer box) is the executable (a7a4) PLUS and mods, any DLC, etc.
On mine with 23 mods, it is (0f53) and shows (a7a4) in the Launcher.

I've found that after an update, you often need to launch through Steam for the update to be completely applied. Launching directly doesn't do that, for whatever reason. If you don't normally launch from the Steam client, give that a try.
