I get this error. Notice it says Verify Steam is running, and I am launching it via steam. This happens just about every time, making me close and restart about 10+ times before it works. Had no issue launching the game before the launcher.

I got some mods to work, haven't tried all yet, because I have many.
I had go to the mods page on steam workshop, unsub to it, start hoi 4 launcher, and the mod is gone. Exit launcher, resub again and restart, now the mod shows up. Has worked on all so far, but it is a PITA when you have alot of mods to go through.
How on earth was this not properly tested??

Haven't gone through the entire thread, this worked on my laptop (but not on my gaming can):
"
"Hey found a fix, this worked for me for every single mod I have downloaded, hopefully it works for everyone else. Go to the folder for the game in your documents section, delete the mod folder and the modresgistery file. Launch the game entirely, exit then go to the launcher, every mod was there and working now! Apparently the fix was deleting the folder and that file and forcing it to rewrite/download it all at once."
from another user, I am posting this here and there and everywhere these days.
Please spread awareness."

There is now an PDXCon2019 youtube link that autoplays video (without audio thankfully) on the launcher.
I just wanted to say using click-bait tactics in the launcher is an annoying design choice.

You should fire that guy who suggested this new launcher idea. Destroyed fans' enthusiasm, destroyed modders' enthusiasm. Bring back the old, simple launcher.
Hey guys! One simple question, how do I add a thumbnail for the steam workshop in the new mod structure?
Thx
I have the same problem. Existing mods on Steam that already had a thumbnail are fine, but the brand new mod just created will not find the damn thumbnail.
I tried the .png file in both the /mod folder and the /mod/<modname> folder and Steam never gets it.
I'm working on two different mods, each of which are hosted on git hub. So I update one, and now the whole damn thing is broken, and the other will not show up at all, and the former only shows up once in a blue moon. (After deleting my mods folder and the .json file and turning everything off and on again and reinstalling the whole damn game and repeating those steps for the past 5 hours.) Hell, sometimes I get duplicates of my steam mods.
This launcher is billed as an upgrade?
I don't think so.
Sincerely, a very tired modder that just wants to work on his project.

Whatever happened to "if it isn't broke, don't fix it"?
Sigh. Mods aren't even showing up now, even when I reinstall them, or do the remake Mod folder trick. But if I make a "dummy" mod, of course that one shows up. Sometimes. This is so damn frustrating. What the hell was wrong with the old Launcher that we're having to use this thing?

Exactly my issue. So incompetent to release a new launcher with almost no warning whatsoever and almost no testing whatsoever.
Release of PDX launchers, 2019, colourized
(Launchers are released shortly after 1:45)

Oh... well I guess I just can't play anymore. Can't really enjoy without Expert AI or the total conversion mods.
So instead of a ledger or something, we get a new launcher no one asked for? hmm.

So I'm actually angry. I've spent almost the last month doing all the bullshit that they outlined in the first post and yet half of my mods still won't work. Most of them I can live without but I really want to get back into Kaiserriech. Anyone got any tips?
I haven´t read all post here so i don´t know if anybody allready suggested this. If so just delete my post.
My "problem" is with the mod List is that with the inclusion of thumbnails the moddlist got even longer and more tedious to navigate because of the space they need.
It would be a very nice addition to give the players a way to save and load modlists e.g. one for Kaiserreich with submods.

So I tried everything suggested, even deleting everything HOI4 related from my machine but every time I try to activate a mod it deactivates it again but itself. Anything else I can do besides deleting the game and not buying a DLC till they fix the mess?
Go to the "Bug Reports" or "Tech Support" forums, fill out a complete report with system info, all logs, and screenshots and PDX may be able to help.
Without all the information, you cannot expect any response except 'follow the instructions'.
The launcher is probably tens of thousands (or more) lines of code, they need something to go on.
It‘s about two or three weeks since you brought out this messy piece of, guess you call it a launcher. For me it’s more like a „doesn‘t even launch itself“. How can any company release something that does not work at all and have no solution at all. I know what „evergreen“ and „fail fast“ means but what about „fix fast“? And if you are not able to get this little software to work, just be true to yourself and accept that you failed big time and rollback to the launcher that worked like a charm. By the way, you totally killed the „launcher“ on my MacBook Pro with the „hotfix“. Before it worked at least a bit and started the game without mods. In the current state it does not even start itself. Great job and a real statement, well done Parasuxx!
