Wrong Checksum Issue

[kairom13]

Hi,

The checksum for my CK3 build, 1.0.3, is 3cb6, instead of the correct 935c, so I can't play multiplayer.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game on Steam, as well as verifying the game files twice, to no avail. I have not downloaded any mods nor made an attempt to mod myself. I even made sure my Steam was up to date. There should be no reason my version is different from the official one, but it apparently is.

I'm using a 2017 MacBook Pro, 10.14.6

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.


**File Locations on Mac OS X**
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings III/
To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .
The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/ .

Ping to bring this to the top for anyone hitting the same issues right now: same issue happening today with my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019), running macOS 10.15.7.

Was getting checksum 8fce. Following these directions fixed the problem and got me to checksum e374.
