Launcher crashes if left open too long

[LekkoBot]

When I open the launcher the news loads and I get the paradox loading icon in the corner of the launcher. If I click play the game starts and everything works nicely. However if I let the launcher sit for a while or scroll around in it after a period of time the launcher will just close. This isn't a problem for me right now but if I want to start downloading mods it may become an issue. This seems to be an issue with the newer launcher. I'm on windows 7 on a latitude e6440.

I haven't seen other such reports, but you may the only person doing this on Win7!


Please try this:

- exit the Steam app entirely
- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user

- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

Thank you I think that worked. I had to open the launcher 3 times the first time the paradox logo had a red dot with a mouseover notification saying that there was a problem updating the launcher. The second time the notification said that it had downloaded the update successfully and the third time there was no notification.
