Launching the new launcher! (Coming with 1.29 Manchu)

[Arkenjuwel]

Launch this great new launcher to the moon!!!

It's not doing what it should do, causing new problems we did not have before. I can't play any mods.

Why replacing a fully functional screen with an obviously untested and inferior (no indication of outdated mods, more scrolling, etc.) "new" version?

I want to play your great game EU4 - I don't want to stare at a shiny "new" launcher...

I can’t even stare at it - damn thing won’t open. Just crashes as soon as I try and launch it.

It would be nice for developers to give some update on the issue with "replace_path" at least to say they are looking into it.

The issue with replace_path was present with Imperator and its release. I'm not sure if they've actually fixed it for Imperator either.

To use Extended Timeline, delete the steam version and get the direct download. That is at least until the replace_path issue is fixed.

Fixed after resubscribeing it,but ET has terrible nation spawning glitch in this version.probably caused by numerous new provinces added in 1.29.

No, that is caused the the replace_path issue I mentioned.

So, is the CK2 converter not working right now?
Tried converting a game for testing and it didn't show up in the launcher.

Also be sure to pick Steam Workshop and not Paradoxplaza, Paradoxplaza will also give the error of invalid credentials.

Wait, does this mean that every mod I'm subscribed to right now won't get automatically updated anymore and I'll need to go to the workshop to subscribe to a newly uploaded version of it?

Hello, if this happens, please copy the Mod (CK2 converted game) from \Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\eu4_export\mod to \Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod. After doing this, it should show up in the Launcher. Be sure to copy both the folder and the .mod file.

We can reproduce it and are currently looking into it.

Can we get the old launcher back? put this new Launcher is Public Beta or something, it's BROKEN I can't launch mods, and when I do it breaks my steam download, and I found out today that I'd have to rebuy DLCs that I bought because the laucnher says that they are corrupted even when I verify game integrity and files Some DLCs work and some Don't.

THIS LAUNCHER WAS A MISTAKE

Why Change a perfectly working Launcher with broken untested one?

Working now, thanks.

What about this:

Please, it's important to clarify, I have >100 mods I'm subscribed to, if this is really the case, it's disastrous to me.

Couple questions...

1) Does the new mod uploader allow file extensions like *.py, or *.txt to be included in the mod archive?
2) Is there a way to command the mod to decompress into the mod directory instead of being hidden in the steam directories?

We're working on fixing the issues with the launcher, but I just want to clarify that you do NOT need to re-purchase any DLC if you've already purchased them previously. I don't know why they are not showing up in the launcher, but if you have them on your account then they are yours and we will get them working again. Just please hang tight a little bit longer while we figure out the issues.

Okay, i sort of understood, why i can't play my mods.
Mods that are already updated for 1.29 work just fine, steam downloads them correctly and i can start the game.
All mods that are not updated for 1.29 don't work.
Steam downloads a "*************_legacy.bin" in the EUIV workshop file and an "ugc_***********.mod" in the documents folder. The numbers don't add up and its not downloading any files or a folder at all.

 

[Karomne]

One feature I REALLY miss is the launcher showing me which of my mods is compatible with the current version of the game which is not. A lot of mods I use tend to have slower updates than others so I can't use them when new updates happen. It used to be easy to check, as the launcher would tell me, but the new one doesn't as far as I can tell. Can this get changed real soon?

 

[Supay]

neither launcher nor game appears for me anymore on linux/steam. steam says it's launching, and then a couple of "Paradox" processes appear in my system monitor, one of the Paradox processes goes zombie, and nothing shows up on the desktop at all.

Use this workaround for Linux. This problem has been around since Imperator launched and is still there. It's extremely frustrating that it has yet to be fixed. I understand the desire to have a shiny new launcher but it seems to cause more problems than it solves and from the huge number of errors reported across all platforms it does feel as though we're being used as beta testers for this. Very glad it's not coming to CKII as that's my most played PDX title.

Please for the love of god don't ever try to do the new launcher to HOI 4

 

[swisi3]

Cant lauch game through steam. When i press play on this new "great futuristic" launcher it says running for 2 sec then it drops. So yeah iam pretty excited from this new patch...

 

[KomodoWaran]

This sorry excuse for a game launcher makes me really appreciate the previous one.

I'm just glad that the CK2 launcher will not be "upgraded" to this.
