Could we please have a single official resolution for this issue, preferably an automatic, if temporary, one? There are various approaches and varying successes. I have this problem with Cities: Skylines.

Why do I get Launcher v. 2020.4 via steam install?
Well lokks like it`s working though...

I have done everything suggested and it fails on the repair/install of the Paradox Launcher.

I really don't like just being unable to open EU4 out of the blue, and having to come on here to get it fixed. And it's for this increasingly bloated launcher that's being shoved down our throats, and with many bugs that still exist nearly a year after its launch.

That's the installer that comes with the game from Steam, it cannot be updated there until there's a new game patch to distribute it. The launcher should update itself anyway, if that is not happening for you 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.

I have a little bit of a problem : I uninstalled both Stellaris and Europa. And cannot complete (but it's 100% complete) the download on Steam. It says lacking privileges access to :
builtin_dlc\dlc038_women_in_history (for Europa)
common\achievements (for Stellaris)
Inside their respective folders.
Cannot play them. Even executing steam as admin.
I already uninstalled the paradox launcher and other folders through the said method. Cannot get a new launcher either...
Guess I'm stuck.

This won't be a launcher problem. Please make a new thread in the tech support forum of one of those games, thanks.
Well. I had the problems with the launcher, tried to fix them, and now I have some new problems, is that it ? Lucky me.
That`s what I tried yesterday.
After I just launched the game it shows Launcher v. 2020.11. Is it updating step by step until v. 2020.16 is reached?
It still seems to be working without problems though.
Anyways I`ll attach the log files.
2 files appear to be empty and can`t be uploaded: launcher-2021-01-20.log and launcher-2021-01-21.log
Possibly - with 2020.11 was there still an orange dot up the top left? If so another exit and restart should see you on the current version.
Spent hours doing everything everyone suggested in this thread and nothing works. Completely unplayable. Requesting a refund through Steam. Great work! =)

Welcome to the forums, sorry you are experiencing problems. If you would care to explain the nature of your issue, we might better help you resolve them?
No, I'm good. Wasted too much time on this already. Refund request got rejected by Steam so I'll just cut my losses and uninstall. Thanks again!
The same issues are back with 2021.1 It does not work with Steam Mods from the workshop, the launcher is acting as if it is only built to interact with ParadoxPlaza. Can we please re-re-revert to 2020.16 until you can figure out how to not break mods for all of your Steam users?
This does not happen for all users, eg:
Paradox Store & Launcher - updates and changelogs
Hi all, Time to create a thread for keeping you guys updated on what is happening on the launcher and game distribution side of Paradox. December 10, 2018: Paradox Launcher - beta 34 - New, spiffier news section November 9, 2018: PDX Mods -...
Or indeed for me. If you use Avast that is probably the issue here:
New launcher version: 2021.1
After the recent release snafu, we are back with a new version - The first of of the year, hence named 2021.1. Changes Some pretty big layout changes to the navigation of the launcher - Hopefully things will be easier to find for new users...
I'm closing this thread as it is obsolete now.
