Good morning all,

I would like to report an issue that I started having yesterday out of nowhere. My paradox launcher is "empty" for every paradox games (cities skyline, europa universalis, imperator rome,...). As you can see, the game is launcher from steam (see the "Arrêter" blue button behind). What happens is the following:

1. I launch the game via steam
2. the launcher appears for a split second with all the button available
3. After 1/2 seconds, the button on the launcher dissappear and I am left with this blue page as below.

A few notes:
- I tried completely reinstalling the launcher. It does work for the first time (every button present). Then there is a notification that an update of the launcher must be installed and the below issue appears again.
-> Not suitable, I won't reinstall the launcher everytime I want to play

- I tried verifying the integrity of my paradox games via steam
-> Still not working

- I tried reinstalling paradox games via steam
-> Still not working

- I tried launching the game directly via the .exe (ex: eu4.exe). It does work, the game launches fine however I then don't have access to any DLC...
-> Not suitable as I want to play with the DLC I bought


Do you have any ides on the issue here?

This is a known issue (and there are several threads about it), but it should be fixed now. Please restart everything and it should work.

I have the same problem with Planetfall right now. Did restart steam and then the PC to no avail. Is there a way to just reinstall the launcher? (I can click "play" before it goes blank though, but if i wait for more than 1-2 seconds all buttons are gone)
Edit: I got help on discord - reinstalling the launcher worked, just restarting steam didn't do the trick for me.
