[2021] "this mod is not present on disk. Subscribe to it or remove it from the playset."

I don't know what else to suggest then. You may simply have exceeded the launcher's capabilities there!

What launcher version do you se?? Current is 2021.7.2 . If that's what you have you could opt into the 2021.8. beta, see if that helps.  

That slider should make it download the update to 2021.8 , you need to restart the launcher for that to happen.  

You didn't see the launcher downloading any update?

In this folder are some .log files:
C:/users//AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.  

As an aside, I see you are running Stellaris in openGL mode. That is slower and less reliable than standard DirectX, can I ask why that is?


Those logs show 2021.7.2 just fine but I see no attempt to access the beta. The launcher has not been reinstalled since February though, so lets do a clean reinstall of it:

- 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 2021.7.2 - it may take a couple of launcher restarts to get up to that version

- thej opt into the launcher beta

Good luck!  

damnusername said: I couldn't tell you for the life of me why it's in open GL mode. Perhaps I put it that way in order to play with some friends and then never put it back?

But that change would have no effect on MP whatsoever, all it does is mean you use a different video standard on your machine. Its main use is in diagnosing video/graphics issues where the problem might be DirectX. I recommend you remove that launch option.

damnusername said: Two of the mods I had previously enabled and were working no longer are selectable. They have the error "installation was interrupted, log in to continue". I am logged into both steam and my pdx account on the launcher. What should I do about this issue?

Did you try again the steps you laid out in your OP here in that regard?  

Hmmm. If you unsubscribe from those mods, reboot and subscribe to them again, do they come down now?

What antivirus app do you use? Add stellaris.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-v2.2021.7.2/paradox launcher.exe (or the equivalent 2021.8 folder if that is what you have now) to that list.  

damnusername said: My stellaris.exe is located in "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Stellaris". The reason I assumed that the launcher should point to a separate location is that the mods folder, which is where the ugc_mods files are is in this other location.

When I attempted to change the path to the location where the .exe was, the program said that it couldn't find the file folders and then reset itself back to the previous location the launcher pointed to.

The mods are read from Documents/paradox/stellaris/mod/ folder, regardless of where Stellaris is installed. I have this game on my D: drive and it finds mods on Documents/paradox/stellaris/mod/ under the C: drive just fine.

damnusername said: Is there a way to do the whole "unsubscribe and resubscribe to all mods" thing without having to individually click on every single mod? I'm hitting week 2 where I'd like to enjoy the game and I can't because of this issue.

In the Steam Workshop there is an "unsubscribe from all mods" button. But there's no converse of that, I'm sorry.

2021.8.1 just came out, are you on that now?
