Mod manager not working
Please help, everytime I try and go to my mod manager on the regular start up thing it gets stuck in the loading screen without the loading circle that shows that it's loading.

I don't know what to do, please help

It could be that there was an update to the mod you were using. Other than that, maybe try and run the game with steam offline as you should have all the mods installed on your PC I think.

That doesnt work sadly....The issues is when trying to play the game, that small window that pops up where you can click "play" "resume" or edit mods / dlc etc. That window never loads it just goes dark blue/gray as if its crashing but it never crashes or loads

Yeah like Samurai said, it's not the mods, it's the game launcher that comes up after clicking the play button in your game library.

It doesn't do anything and I can't even back out I gotta exit the game and click the play button again.

Got it to work thanks to some help from support, here's what they told me to do.

What launcher version do you see? Current is 2020.11 , if it's older than that you should do a clean reinstall of the launcher:

- 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/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/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
