I think this may be a bug.
I don't have EU4, HOI4 (optional), Stellaris and CK3.
I'm sorry,I don't have.

If it is a game bug, why is it not affecting everyone, even though they have the identical game version to you?
Try reverting to previous game versions in the Steam Betas tab for the game, do you still see this issue? Of course all players would need to be on the same version.

Yes, I'm confused, too
I tried, but still can't enter, thank you.

It's not a bother, it's my job. But I'm struggling to see what else we can look into to help you diagnose what in your system or environment is causing this to you.
Do you have any other machine in that network you can test this on?
How about fro some other network in a different location?

I am in China, but not Hong Kong. I have been to other parts of China, whether VPN is not used or VPN is used, on different machines, but the system used for these operations is Windows 10. you will be prompted that the connection failed.
Fro some other network in a china different location Still can't get in.
when trying to join someone else's room, the time between clicking the join button and popping up (connection failed) is too short.
The window will pop up immediately.
After using VPN, my Paradox Launcher can update and log in to my account normally.
thank you

Which proves there is a firewall issue here! But why using a VPN gets past that firewall for logging in, but not for MP play, I cannot understand.
I was reading today that they have ways of blocking access even when VPNs are used ... do you have more than one type of VPN you can try?
But after I use VPN, I can use youtube, google, twitter and Facebook normally.
So I'm confused.
VPN is not very useful for firewalls, so Chinese people generally use programs similar to VPN, such as Shadowsocks, Clash and other tools
In addition, we not only have programs that pass through firewalls, but also some accelerators for overseas games. The role of game accelerators is to reduce latency, ping, ms, etc., but game accelerator applications are commercial applications that reduce latency through VPN like functions.
The game accelerator will provide foreign servers and use virtual private networks for connection to accelerate the game. Commercial software
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, I use VPN because the firewall will interfere with steam. Steam may fail to log in. Cannot use workshop. Cannot use in-game chat and a community market.
I do not use VPN. My Paradox Launcher can also update normally and log in to my account.

Well, I'm confused too. Do you or do you not use a VPN?
I mean, whether I use VPN or not, My Paradox Launcher can update normally and log in to my account
But I need to use VPN to ensure that the steam workshop and game chat and a community market can normally be used.
So I use VPN.
Okay, so whatever firewalls there are in effect here do not interfere with the launcher getting to the Paradox servers, but do interfere with getting to the Steam servers.
Our older game Crusader Kings 2 is free to play on Steam now, and uses the Steam MP service. I'll guess you need a VPN to play it MP, but does that work for you?

What is Steam MP service? Is this an abbreviation? What is the full name?
Yes, the Paradox servers are not blocked by the firewall, but do interfere with getting to the Steam servers,
Previously, I used VPNs for Victoria 3 programs, but it didn't work. So I just tried to enable VPNs on the router layer, so that the computer network can become and use a foreign network completely, and I can successfully enter.
I succeeded.
Thank you for helping me solve the problem.
I don't think it has a formal name, it just means that there are games like our earlier ones that use Steam servers for their MP play. I'm not sure why its name matters here?
There you go! Well done.
