Different version, I can't play multi-player

[TheCinus]

Hey guys, meryy Christmas everyone!
I need some help with EU4 because when I open the launcher the checksum is 1835, but when I start the game it says that the checksum is 2223 (or something similar, I don't remember because I am out). This problem has happened to me in July with hoi4, and I managed to fix it by verifying the files through steam. I tried this with EU4 too, but it didn't work.
PLS guys help me I don't know what to do.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.
