Everytime I open the game I get a message that an "error occurred during database initiation".

[I'm Not Afk]

As the title says, it happens every time I open the game, and although the game still works, I cannot access mods. I tried re-installing the game, restarting the pc, searched the whole internet but nothing, so here I am.

Here's the error message

We now have reports of this with Avast antivirus only, except just 1 report on AVG. Putting C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2021.10.1/paradox launcher.exe in all its exceptions lists, then deleting that sqlite folder one more time, seems to be fixing it reliably.

I also have one report that opting into the beta of the next launcher version 2022.1 helped.

All the best!

Thanks for the reply, but I`m afraid the only anti-virus I`m currently using is the Windows Defender... but into the other lead, how do I opt into this beta version of the launcher?

 

[AndrewT]

In Windows Defender - Ransomware, enable controlled folder access if disabled. Go into the Apps ALlowed Through list there and add C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2021.10.1/paradox launcher.exe there.

Just did it and the problem still persists

 

[AndrewT]

Okay then, opt into the launcher beta - does that help?

everytime I try to opt in the beta this little thing appears - as such the above mentioned problem stays the same

Just discovered it was an error related to the Onedrive, cannot say what exactly, but when disabled the game gets that error, and when enabled it works again... Thanks for your time Andrew

I had this error appear, and after turning off AVG Anti Virus it went away.
