Error - Unable to find config file

[KatherineFtw]

I just bought the DLC after not playing for a while, and suddenly got this error in the launcher. I've done a clean reinstall twice now, verified the files four times... Please, I just want a fix so I can settle Alaska as Japan.

Did your clean reinstall also include deleting the launcher and its files? If not, you can try the following:
Launcher problems can often be fixed by reinstalling the launcher:
On Windows, first use the windows uninstall function to uninstall "Paradox Launcher v2"(if it is there). And then delete the launcher directories(if they exist):

• C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
  
• C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
  
• C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
  
• Documents/paradox interactive/.cpatch/
  
• every directory in Documents/paradox interactive/ that starts with launcher-v2

In Linux delete the directories ~/.paradoxlauncher and "~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/" and the file "~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcherpath"

In macOS delete the directory "~/Library/Application Support/Paradox Interactive"


Afterwards you can start the game from steam again to reinstall the launcher.
