Good afternoon!
First a little introduction - I'm your newly minted distribution manager. This means that I'm mapsu's minion when it comes to launcher and all things concerning the PDX way of distributing our games.
Now for the actual news. A new version of the launcher is going out today (now-ish actually). This time it's a bit of a bugfix release:

Now for the actual news. A new version of the launcher is going out today (now-ish actually). This time it's a bit of a bugfix release:
Code:
beta-24:
* Added support to install games in deeper directory paths on Windows 10.
* Fixed a bug with logging, where log files would randomly not get updated.
* Added a --debug flag, that dumps debug output to files.
Just wanted to let you know that since releasing beta-24 earlier this week, we have now put out Battletech 1.0.4 on the Paradox Launcher. We're aiming for a much shorter wait for the next patch!
We are still working on some problems installing external dependencies (for any title that has them - which Battletech does not) if using a very deep installation path for the Launcher on Windows 7, but using the default install path should work.
Battletech 1.1.0 has now been released on the Paradox Launcher. However, we have found an issue with running the game and ending up with an endless "Refreshing save games" spinner on the main menu, preventing you from playing the game.
The issue seems to be related to writing a log file if the installation folder is in C:\Program Files (x86). We are working on a solution for this issue.
In the meantime, you can work around the issue by running either the Paradox Launcher or BattleTech.exe in Administrator Mode, or installing the Paradox Launcher within your user directory.

I'm very pleased to bring you the news that after much anticipation and gnashing of teeth, the Linux version of the PDX Launcher is now available for download. At this time, only Stellaris is available for download and installation, but our other games with Linux support will be forthcoming (in a more expedited way than the launcher itself, fortunately!).
Caveat emptor! As much as the launcher is beta quality software, the linux version has had even less testing done on it. I do anticipate, however, that people interested in the Linux version will have the capacity to find workarounds for non-critical bugs.
As usual, we have some secret sauce on the cooker (this is the games industry after all) but we'll still try to get some QA and general quality-of-life fixes in during the autumn. In other news, Swedish summer vacations is almost upon us, so set your expectations accordingly!

To be transparent, even though there's a bunch of games with Linux versions, it's a bit of work to get them up on the launcher, that's why we only have Stellaris on it now. I'm not responsible for schedule, but I think more games will be rolled out to it soon.
Glad you folks liked it!

Just popping in to quickly say a few things: the Paradox launcher and Steam installations of Stellaris are separate, but if you just want to continue playing a session, you can probably just copy your save games from one to the other. For save game locations, just look them up here and change "Stellaris" to "Stellaris Plaza" to get to the Paradox Launcher save game location.
I haven't tried this myself, so I might be wrong, but it might be worth a shot!
We officially support the latest versions of Ubuntu, if I'm not mistaken.
@alifelove please uninstall and install from scratch! If you're stuck in version beta-14, something is probably messing up your update process.

Thank you!
More specifically, since these are Stellaris DLCs, you'll find them under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Paradox Interactive\games\stellaris\dlc
All of the DLC is installed there.
Fellow humans.
Today I'm pleased to announce a new feature in the launcher - Integration with the freshly released Paradox modding system. Currently, only a smaller set of mods for Stellaris are available through the launcher, but of course we hope that modders will want to target our launcher users as well as the console versions of our games - In fact, Cities: Skylines have offered Paradox-hosted mods on XBox for some time already.
In any case, please mod hard but report bugs gently!

You are correct, of course - The launcher should be at least in parity as compared to other distribution channels (Steam, GOG or what have you). Alas, in this instance our processes failed us and the release fell firmly and resolutely through the cracks. I apologize for the delay and promise that we are hard at work both on our release processes as well as technical support systems that will eventually minimize the risk for this type of glitch in the future.
A tiny note: only run the launcher as an admin in case something is wrong, to determine whether your problem is an access problem. Don't run it as an admin regularly. Otherwise, what @AndrewT said are good first troubleshooting steps

No more than: it's inconvenient and it's generally not recommended for security reasons to run programs as an admin unless it's necessary. That is to say: it's necessary if there's a problem or bug that prevents you from playing your game, but not otherwise
(Final edit: also, on launch we had a few serious bugs with the elevation code, later on we fixed a bunch of them, so now we think it should pretty much work)

We're looking into the issue at the moment - I'll get back as soon as we know what's up.
Edit: How odd. I seem to be able to install and run the launcher on my Fedora 28. We continue our investigation.

We seem unable to reproduce it locally at the office. It appears to be CDN-related and as such can be different depending on where you are located (the best bugs to hunt!). If possible, and if the problem persists, can I ask you to mail Support with the cpatch.log file?
I'm afraid the time-frame is still "Soon™"
The few games that are available on the launcher currently, are also available if you own them on Steam, if you've connected your Steam and Paradox accounts. If you're not seeing them, that's a bug!
A trickier question than it might at first seem. So. Many of our games have dependencies (code and functionality wise) on the Steam distribution channel which means that in order to serve them through the launcher, they'd have to be touched up quite a lot in addition to having two concurrent versions that need to be maintained. This creates a burden for the game teams that they are not, in all instances, prepared to assume.
Naturally, down the line we hope to get our entire backlog available on our own distribution platform, but it's a bit of an involved process and it'll take some time. The distribution team is hard at work with some pieces of enabling tech, so we remain optimistic that you'll see it in a normal lifespan!
Interestingly, much older titles predate our steam engagement and are actually pretty likely to be on the PDX Dist (aka. the launcher) in the not-too-far-off-future.
Another week, another release of https://mods.paradoxplaza.com
This week the following has been deployed:
This week the following has been deployed:
- Beauty! Or at least mouseover effects and correction of some layout bugs
- Direct download. You no longer need to use the PDX Launcher to use the mods hosted as they can now be downloaded directly from the website. This should be good news for our Stellaris GOG users as an alternative to the Steam workshop.
