[2021] Help with CK3 checksum

If anyone is in debug mode that changes the checksum, they need to exit that mode.

That aside, are mods involved or not?  

Have everyone load the game up with no mods at all active. You should all see 1.03 935c . Anyone who does not see that needs to do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.


IF you all see that checksum unmodded, then the issue is in the mods themselves. You may be loading them in a different order, have different mods or different versions of the same mod.

You remove the launch option that you put in to trigger it.

You do the process I laid out in post #4 above.

There is a UI scaling slider in the game, does that not work for you?
