Upon launching Victoria 3, I'm presented with a peculiar error saying:

"A launcher update has failed. The action failed because we could not fetch metadata about this resource. This means our servers are having hiccups or your internet connection is not stable enough"

Interesting. I disabled all my firewalls, VPN, and tried using WiFi as well as ethernet to no avail after uninstalling the launcher and reinstalling. Attached are the logs for your assistance in this manner. As a side note, I took a look at the cpatch.log file and it looks like the following issue might be server related but I doubt I'd be the only one having this problem in this scenario, otherwise it would be a lot more people having the error. I tried these steps with both CK3, Stellaris, and of course Vicky to no avail with the exact same error. This is the interesting line that makes me wonder:

Attached are the paradox-v2 launcher logs from the launcher-v2/logs appdata folder. This does not affect gameplay, but my launcher just won't update now and honestly the message comes up every time and is annoying. I guess I'll just have to check from now that the launcher is always updated manually. I'm able to connect w/ Steam and login w/ a paradox account to the launcher just fine.

Thank you.

From those logs you are on 2023.7.1 already, is that right? If so there is in fact no update due, the error is spurious.

You do seem to be having a mod issue
2023-06-05T23:40:52.059Z (pid:35752) warn [MetadataFormatService]: Could not process metadata for mod = 76e3d982-e420-4145-b1af-6ff9c846dd76 -> VError: Could not verify metadata in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\529340\2951090811: ENOENT: no such file or directory, access 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\529340\2951090811\.metadata'
But I doubt that is related!
