Cannot launch any paradox game on fedora;

FYI neither our games nor launcher are supported on Fedora; Ubuntu only. Which may or may not be the cause of your problem.

Right click the game you're having issues with in your Steam library and add this in the "Launch Options" window:

--pdxlDebug

Start the launcher and the debug log will be automatically generated and located in one of the below locations

• $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)

Attach those launcher logs here.


Do the game's launch from their executables okay? ./ck3 in the case of this game.  

That looks like the launcher is stuck on 2022.9 , is that the version you see? It ought to be 2023.2 now.

There are also standard launcher logs in

• $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)

Thanks.  

As the launcher runs, they are certainly there! You looked in both locations?

This should be an updated version of the launcher installer
https://launcher.paradoxinteractive.com/v2/paradox-launcher-installer-linux but that won't solve the problem that is preventing the launcher from updating itself.  

I don't know what else to look at here I have to admit, without the logs we're clueless.

Did that updated launcher installer do anything? Let's see a new --pdxlDebug log from that please.
