It turns out that debugging stuff running on someone else's computer isn't hard enough, now we need to debug stuff that runs on someone else's computer that they rent from someone else that run their stuff in a custom sandbox
Shouldn't this be easier as each of these instances would run on the same hardware. The client's computer should not be apart of this equation.
Paradox has only started owning the issue as of last week and the DLC / save issues had been reported back when CK3 was launched. The fact that these games have been pulled off GeForce Now since June is absolutely ridiculous.
Many players who have purchased these games and DLC have been shafted throughout this period.

Tbh I dont blame them for not getting it for a bit considering they had to do a huge ammount of bug fixing around the time that the complaints had begun getting bad, but I do wish that they could release the GFN patch seperately so we wouldnt have to wait the 3 weeks, consider most of us have been waiting for close to 4 months now, and we pay for GFN by the monthly (And for me personally I only got it for Paradox games)

Ahh I think that is a bit of nonsense. GFN did not put the game into 'Maintenance' to claim that the company was unaware of the issue just does not sound right. The games have been functioning just fine. I believe the reason they had pulled the games was related to unauthorized DLC access, which these launcher updates aim to fix.
They should bring the games back online. Many players have purchased the DLC and the ones that didn't can enjoy them until the launcher is fixed.
The portion of the community that uses GFN has had to wait for this company to fix their mistakes for months now.
I am like you I really only use GFN for Paradox games and we are all being billed while we cannot play.
Maybe the company can compensate us for some of the hassle.

You shouldnt give up hope yet, although I think Paradox has stopped responding to this thread. If you want you can make a post of your own asking about it, I got a answer super quick when I asked about something. Paradox has really good support, and hopefully if there is enough of us, they might make an agreement so we dont keep burning our money. Although its understandible if they cant, as I presume they are super busy.
Now, that was a long beta period! So long, we need a bit more of it! This is Launcher beta 2021.7-rc.5 and this is a big one!
Introduction
For quite some time we have been introducing distribution client functionality into the launcher v2, with the eventual goal of retiring the old v1 that has long been the mainstay client of our own distribution backend. The v1 client will still be available through Play Paradoxplaza but with time we hope to replace it with v2.
Hopefully this will end the confusion as to what the "Paradox Launcher" actually is - Seeing as v1 is a distribution client and v2 has been more of a splash screen - v2 will take on both roles in a short while, and this beta is the first user-facing step towards that goal.
But why, you ask? There are several reasons:
Reduced maintenance burden with fewer pieces of software to security patch and keep up to date
Ability to use distribution-type functionality in games that have need for it (seasonal content patches for example)
More robust, and better maintained, download and install functionality
Wider operating system support for the distribution platform. With v2 2021.7-rc.5 we extend the use of our own distribution backend for the first time to Mac users.
What's new
The major new feature in this beta is the ability to start the launcher in standalone mode. In practical terms, this simply means starting the launcher executable directly from your operating system, rather than from a third-party client (such as the Steam client, GOG Galaxy, the Epic launcher etc). The launcher in standalone mode will connect to our distribution backend, retrieve your ownership and offer you games to install.
Please be aware that PDX ownership and game availability is separate and distinct from Steam, Epic etc. Likewise, the game versions available are different and will install in different locations as compared to Steam or other distribution clients.
What do I own?
If you ever bought something from the Paradox Plaza store, you'll have ownership of that game / DLC on our backend. We also integrate Steam ownership so that you should also be able to download and play games you own on Steam through the PDX Distribution system, and hence through the launcher.
As stated above, game availability is not the same as on Steam, and you may find that there are titles missing - This is normally due to the fact that older titles simply do not exist in versions that are adapted to the PDX ecosystem of services and hence not available through the PDX distribution channel.
How do I help test it?
First of all, opt into the Beta. Please be aware that here be dragons - Is in beta for a reason after all. Once that is done, there are two different parts to test:
Test that nothing has been broken when it comes to starting the launcher the "regular" way through Steam etc.
Test that standalone mode works as anticipated
You should see some titles (or no titles if you have no Steam or PDX ownership)
You should be able to download and install games
You should be able to play games you installed through the launcher
In order to run the launcher in standalone mode, do this:
We have a raft of other features aside from standalone mode! Of course these also include the features previously announce for rc.2, but more stuff has snuck in there!
Standalone mode (see above)
Importing and exporting playsets to JSON files
Better UI performance on long mods lists
Fixed detection of newly connected / disconnected monitor
Localization fixes
Fixed links in Terms of Use document (that I'm sure all of you read carefully!)
Removed spurious mod name truncation (again!)
Fixed broken DLC ownership checks - GeForce NOW only
Improved error handling when Xbox Game Pass app is not installed - GamePass only
Soooo, that should be it. As you might anticipate, this has taken some time to get to a beta-ready state, and as such bugs are highly anticipated. Your help in finding these is appreciated! If all goes to plan, and no critical bugs that cannot be hot-fixed are found, this version will go live in three weeks, according to tradition.

Howdy all! Recently we have been receiving reports from certain players related to their Launcher or GeForce Now experience not working as intended due to platform instabilities. We are working on correcting this issue, but certain players may...
