[2021] Patch 3.1 - Launcher still not working - the new thread [MacOS]

FYI I run the current launcher 2021.7.1 in my iMac (11.5.2) every day with no problem. I'm not sure why you'd have such terrible problems!

Please Attach ALL .log files Found here ~/Library/Application Support/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/  

I see some oddities in those files, particularly:

[31m2021-09-14 23:15:47 [main] [ERROR][0m Unable to send telemetry:
%!s()

Please check in your firewalls that all traffic to and from api.paradox-interactive.com and api.paradoxplaza.com is allowed through.


Then Download the installer package: https://forumcontent.paradoxplaza.com/emailsignatures/2021.7.1-mac-prod.zip

Unpack the file you just downloaded and place the three files in the Steam folder for a game you're having issues with. If asked if you want to replace already existing files click "yes" - that's a sign you are in the right place!

Then delete the ~/Library/Application Support/Paradox Interactive/ folder. To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and paste in ~/Library/Application Support/ .

Then run thaty game to install using the newer files.

If that doesn't help, please attach new copies of those logs, thanks.  

Still getting comms errors I see:

[33m2021-09-19 10:59:12 [repository] [WARNING][0m Error in response: Get : contacting repo: Get https://api.paradox-interactive.com/patch/repo/launcher-v2-bootstrapper-macos-64/repository.json: dial tcp 151.101.114.217:443: connect: host is down

Our host is not down of course!

Do you have any other machine on the same network to try this on? This is to determine if it is confined to this one Mac, or a more general issue there.

And/or can you move this Mac to some other network, as a test?  

You've tested there with api.paradoxplaza.com but the error is with api.paradox-interactive.com . Now they may be the same IP and server, I don't know!

What if you connect to a VPN then try it?  

We wouldn't expect a game patch to fix a launcher problem. But there has been a new launcher 2021.8.1 , which I assume has not helped either.

I'm stumped on this one. This is still the only report I have of this TCP I/O error ! If it happens with this Mac over different networks it has to be the Mac, in some way. You don't have any other Mac, or a Windows or Linux machine, to test this on?
