Hoi not starting (solved)

[Darckjack]

You don't even see the launcher, do you?

You could try this:

Please go to this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\_CommonRedist\
Go down into both the folders under there, and run each of the .exe files - there are 3 all told.

I see. Then what I wrote above will probably not help you. In that case (and assuming the game once worked on the computer in question) I'd try a clean reinstallation (→ point 1 in the "Related to game crashes (having DLC or not) and checksum errors" sticky thread).

Thx lukas i had to unsubscribe all mods and install and unistall 2 or 3 times but now is working

[lukas]

I'm glad to hear that. It should be save to resubscribe to the mods you previously used (and others) by the way.

[Homelessman83]

the fix for me is just opening it in windowed or fullscreen instead of borderless

[2nd acc]

The only thing I did was literally change the settings (in game) I changed to resolution to borderless

[Govner]

ive uninstalled and installed again and changed the resolution tried with and without mods but still no luck can someone help?
