It's kind of annoying how this game worked perfectly fine, then the launcher comes and breaks it, then it's fixed, then the launcher is changed a lot for seemingly completely unnecessary reasons... and now it's super broken again. See attached images.

You really, really couldn't just add scrollbars? This is kind of infuriating, if the launcher isn't coded to actually work on all machines why not just leave it away, so far the only value it ever added for me is to break the game every few months... (and just to add insult to injury, there is clearly tons of wasted blank space but instead it insists on cutting off at the screen edges)

I haven't seen that happen with the launcher elsewhere, how very strange.

I know they made it scalable and resizable recently - did this happen after you tried those new functions perhaps?


Please try this:

- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam
OR
- exit the Epic app entirely
- run EpicGamesLauncher.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the Epic client

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.
 
Proton is not a supported platform for the game or launcher. Can you not run them natively in your Linux setup?
 
I don't have other reports of the launcher v2 crashing on Linux, regardless of game. Are you willing to try it again?

I take it the audio stuttering was in the game not the launcher?
