Errors with Paradox Accounts & Other Issues

[PDX_Moderator_2]

Hello everyone,
The errors with the Paradox Accounts should be fixed now.

EDIT: Yes, the team is currently working on fixing all the issues being reported.

Possible Quick Fixes:

For starters, restarting Steam can fix some issues.
--
Regarding d3dcompiler_47.dll issue,
Copy file d3dcompiler_47.dll to the directory common\ImperatorRome\binaries from ImperatorRome\launcher

Thank you Plague Doctor for this quick fix.

OR

You may be missing Service Pack 1 from a Windows update on Windows 7.

Startup fix for Linux
The paradox launcher is failing to start with this error:
error [SteamService]: Failed to initialize Steam API: Error: Steam initialization failed. Steam is running,but steam_appid.txt is missing. Expected to find it in: /home/NOPE/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ImperatorRome/launcher/steam_appid.txt

The fix is to run this from the terminal:
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ImperatorRome/binaries/imperator
Which will launch the game directly.

Thank you flyinglama for this information.

Game not responding
It can take a while for the game to start up. If you click the screen while it's trying to start, it may say it stopped responding. It usually catches up again after a while. But just not clicking is usually a good idea.

Failed creating render backend
"If you are on Windows 7 you'll need to update your DirectX version to 11.1, that's what worked for me.

In short, you'll need to get Platform Update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 (KB2670838) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36805 . You can do that either from the provided link, or directly from the Windows Updater. In either case, I'd strongly recommend first backing up your system files (create a Restore Point, a Recovery Disc, etc.)

As far as I can tell, this solution would only work for Windows 7 SP1. If you do not have Service Pack 1 installed, please do that first."

Thank you Urist McYellowDucK for this information.

How about unable to accept EULA? I dont even have a chance to see if I'm experiencing any other bugs as I cant get past the EULA.

I fixed that by blocking windows deffender and firewall (looks like firewall was not needed)

We're also aware of this. We're monitoring the forums (here on Steam and on the official forums here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/imperator-rome-know-issues-and-faq.1170375/ ) and have made a Technical Issues subforum on Steam for better organization.

A minor patch was rolled out and we will continue to fix these bugs. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Blocking windows defender fix this

[Golden Hound of the Ancestors]

Why did you think it was a good idea to force everyone to log into the Paradox account while not bothering to make sure your site will actually work with all the traffic?

Why do we even need an account to play Multiplayer if you do not host any game servers for us?

After reinstalling I was able to get 5 years into the game before it froze (the same issue that occurred before reinstalling but it would happen after 10 minutes. When clicking on various buttons and hotkeys the sound of them being selected could be heard. I closed the game and tried again and had the same issue but this time I left the game alone for an hour to see if it just needed to catch up, this did not work and the game remained frozen.

got the same problem
