My launcher doesn't load anymore for no apparent reason. I have also noticed it's quite wider.
It worked fine for many days. Now it just shows paradox small logo and loading, then it stops and crashes after some time.

I have tried verifying game files and reinstalling them. Also tried to delete paradox launcher files in home and share folder, but did nothing.
it does it for HOI4 as well :(

You'd need to remove all these folders:

  • ~/.paradoxlauncher
  • ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2
  • ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcherpath

If that still doesn't help, the log files please:

  • $XDG_DATA_HOME/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/logs/ (if $XDG_DATA_HOME is set)
  • ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/logs/ (if $XDG_DATA_HOME is not set)

it does it for HOI4 as well
Naturally, as both games use the same installation of the same launcher.
