Not really. Maybe you use some mod that interferes?
nope even when i use no mods it wont let me open it :/

Does it only happen if you use the mouse to open the research tab or even if you use the keyboard hotkey (w) to open it?

Weird. Do you play with version 1.3.3?

Do you have that problem when starting a new campaign (instead of loading a savegame) without mods as well?

yes and it does work but tbh who plays without mods? the base game near garbage :/

I've updated my previous post after I noticed that I already asked you that question.

I for one like vanilla HoI4. I'm not saying that mods are bad or anything like that, but they (can) cause a lot of problems (especially short after the release of a new version of the base game).

edit: It seems you aren't alone with this problem.

Found a way to fix the problem!
Open the console and write "reloadtechnologies"

Nothing is ever truly 'fixed' in a Paradox game. Just got the same problem and you are a lifesaver man. I thought I was going to be stuck tinkering with it all night and here you solved it instantly. Congrats on being a top google result by the way.

This didn't work for me. Im in a mod and when I click on a technology slot it won't open. Ive tried the command and it says its reloaded the database, but it still won't work
