[2021] Launcher doesn't launch mods

Please try the following:



- unsubscribe from all mods

- delete the folder Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/mod/

- delete the file Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/mods_registry.json

- delete the file Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/launcher-v2.sqlite



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. You should add steam.exe and C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2021.4.1/paradox launcher.exe to that list.



- subscribe to a few mods

- run the game up and see if those mods are now available to you.



I hope that does it for you!  

Are you sure you are not subscribed to it in the Steam Workshop?  

That's interesting ... can you say what exact location/folder there?  

elvain said: Sure,
it was c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Paradox Interactive

There should not be any mod files in that folder, it's only for the launcher really.

I begin to think you have some larger computer or Windows problem here! Would you say you are having Windows problems outside this game at all?  

Well, we know our launcher does not cause this to other users! I have no explanation how it could be having these effects on your machine, I have to say.

I guess try a clean reinstall of the whole launcher:

- 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//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users//AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users//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 to install it again. You'll probably have to exit and re-run the launcher once or twice for it to fully update to 2021.5.2 .
