No iron man and maltiplayer grayed out [SOLVED]

[drake000666]

Cant play iron man mode because it says MOD running when it is not and not sure if its a problem but maltiplayer button is grayed out and cannot click on it.

Did all the below

-checked my firewall, good for steam and EU4
-steam cloud is enabled
-made sure no demo files on my computer
-reinstalled no luck, 2 times
-tryed without any DLC's no luck
-tryed changing setting in game but still reads as MOD running
-I verified integrity of game cache on steam and all reads normal
-chechsum reads EU4 V.1.1.0 (17db)

Have you tried to remove the Europa Universalis IV folder under '..\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\' ?

Make sure you copy the 'save games' folder to a different directory, otherwise you will lose your save games!

Yup did it along with going into regedit and deleting anything to do with EU4 and reinstalling

 

[IcratoX]

Ok, that's rather weird.

Have you got problems anywhere else in the game?

Nope can play just find and all just do not understand why it would think i had a mod

 

[drake000666]

OMG just install game on my slow laptop and ironman is working and no grayed out malti-play.


Could the demo have left something that is making this happen on my main computer or did something not get installed right?

 

[drake000666]

Got it to work on my main by coping the files from my laptop over to my main computer strange that the 2 re-installs I did on my main did not fix this problem even after i deleted My Documents\Paradox Interactive\ and deleted all content under the steam folder.

Glad to know you got it to work, make sure you confirm the checksum however to be correct.

I'm personally a bit puzzled on why the clean installations and removing the folder under my documents did not resolve it, even more so now that you got it to work by copying over the game that you downloaded through steam from your laptop to your main pc.
