We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Showing developer posts only. Show all posts in this thread.
On another note - A new version of the launcher, 1.0-beta31, is available. This is just a maintenance release with various bug fixes so not super-exciting new features but hopefully will bring us to a slightly less "beta" beta.
Launcher version 1.0-beta32, has been deployed. This is another release mainly focused on state-keeping bug fixes, the main one being the fix to the unintended "jump to news section".
If I'm not mistaken, the launcher should auto-update, shouldn't it?
I've tried running it with my user account and with administrative rights and it doesn't seem to update
It should indeed update itself. We have had some sporadic reports of update failures, even though it seems most launchers manage the update process - Reproducing the behaviour has proven difficult. But now we have a verified case which is great!
Could I perhaps persuade you to send your bootstrapper.log and cpatch.log found in your "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Paradox Interactive\bootstrapper" directory to our support, maybe even with a reference to this post. That would help us a lot in figuring out how to get a solid repro!

A new version of PDX Mods have been released unto an unsuspecting world. This time the main new thing is the ability to specify dependencies / requirements that are needed for your mod to work - And conversely for the mod user to easily see what is needed for the mod to work. Requirements for both DLC and other mods are supported.
The intent is for future versions of the launcher to offer the option of automatically downloading any requirements for your selected mods.
And so the wait for Friday beers commences...

That was indeed the case - The problem should be remedied now!

I have verified that purchasing Distant Stars in the PDX Store does in fact enable installation and play through the launcher. All is well with the world. Now on to nag on our store manager about tagging it appropriately!

Okay, so that did the trick, kinda - I *was* logged in, but just to be sure I signed out, close & re-started the Launcher, and logged back in : the update is now downloading flawlessly. So maybe there's a glitch in the auth layer, or state management, something that does not refresh automatically? No idea, but it's working now.
Good find! There is clearly some issue with ownership caching and updating that we need to shake out - Looking into the issue now.
While it's true that you can't select game installation locations separately from the launcher location (it's on the big, big backlog of stuff we want to do) you should be able to simply install the launcher where you want the games to be and then move your already installed games to the new location - I've done this on occasion, and it seems to work just fine
FlashPoint is available on through the launcher - We are currently on version 1.3.0-413R (Windows and Linux)
We generally try to follow the XDG specifications meaning that for most people (that didn't fiddle with $XDG_DATA_HOME), your log files can be listed thusly:
Code:
ls "$HOME/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcher"Hmmm. Flashpoint is not in evidence outside of the game itself in the PDX version - Did you check if you can see the DLC mechs in your Mechbay in the Skirmish screen?
Launcher version 1.0-beta34, has been deployed. This version has a new and spiffy-looking news section as well as a few bugfixes.
Alas, Tyranny has not seen a release on the PDX distribution platform for Linux. It would generally be up to the game teams to produce such a build, but as you might know, Tyranny is no longer being developed - and Obsidian is otherwise engaged!
A fix for the broken deploy should be out, since yesterday actually. There seems to be an issue with the game modifying its own files, meaning you might have to run the launcher (or the game directly) as administrator if it's installed in "Program Files" - which is the default installation path. We are looking into producing a better workaround for this.
This is more involved than how it might at first appear. Really old games make very little money, meaning that it's hard to recuperate the invested effort in supporting them. Newer but out-of-development games are typically tied to Steam in ways that necessitate development effort. This effort might be profitable in itself, but would eat into development of our newer (also unreleased or even unannounced) games, meaning an opportunity cost that is hard to offset. New games typically go onto the PDX Distribution platform though.
Some old titles might be released in the future, but please don't hold your breath! We have a bit more to do than we strictly have time for (though we always have time for vacation!
)Typically new titles will give you the same achievements on the "native" platform and with PDX. For old titles... nope. See above!
This is on the roadmap, but a bit down the line. Rest assured we'll get there eventually!
Same as above, though this is probably closer at hand.
The groundwork for this was done in recent launcher releases - We'll work with better content curation going forward. Hopefully, you'll be pleased once we get it up anbd running!
Several game teams are actually looking at this type of stat collection already! I can't really divulge too much about it though, you'll have to wait and see!
No, not via Steam Workshop (being that the launcher cannot assume that the user has a Steam account) but you can use the launcher to install / update mods from https://mods.paradoxplaza.com - At the moment, we only host Stellaris and Cities (XBox version) mods there, but we hope to expand it in the future.

The reason that Flashpoint isn't showing up in the PDX Launcher under the DLC tab is due to the obscure fact that it doesn't actually require any additional download - The content is unlocked by the mere act of owning the content. Due to some quirks in the GUI of the launcher, this is a case where the DLC simply won't show up. Rest assured that you should be able to access the Flashpoint content though. If you can't, despite owning the DLC (and possibly having linked your Steam account) please contact our support!
