Some Countries not Loading/Appearing White on Map, States Unclickable. Also migration broken.

[bottle'ojam]

Some countries in India, Afghanistan, and Persia appear white on the map and their states are unclickable and do not show up in the ledger in any new game i make.

however they are clickable in a save game I have in 1889 and show up in the ledger, and they all have the same flag. in this game they also have very faint borders.

I have not been follow this games updates much, but I think these may be the countries added in a recent update. so far i have tried validating the game files, reinstalling the game, and reinstalling it on 1.8.0 and the result has always been the same. I really dont know whats going wrong but I would be glad if any of you forum dwellers could help!
oh and I almost forgot- Migration is also partly broken. there is no migration anywhere except some parts of canada and the ottomans.

I can only guess this is a corrupted game installation, assuming you have no mods in use.

Please do a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add Victoria3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.

All the best!
