I feel you lol. I've spent like 130 hours into the game up until my friend told me that i'm literally missing almost 40% of the gameplay because i dont have any of the DLC.
Guess im going to have to play the pirated version until i can save up for all the DLCs or until it goes to a huge sale.

This sure is me
Guys, if you're getting database migration error in launcher uninstall the game, delete the Hearts of Iron IV folder in Documents/Paradox Interactive and reinstall the game, then go into launcher_settings.json in the folder where you installed the game and change where it says distplatform: "steam" to "pdx".

If you're having problems with mod installation do it manually by putting the folder and .mod file of the mod you're installing in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod and copying the folder of the mod you're installing to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/workshop/content/211990. You also have to change the path at the bottom of the .mod file to "C:/Users/{user name here}/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/workshop/content/281990/{mod id here}". Mod id can be checked in descriptor.mod file in the mod's folder itself as remote_file_id. After this rename the mod's folder in Hearts of Iron IV/mod and Hearts of Iron IV/workshop/content/211990 to the mod's ID if it isn't already. If you don't have the mod and workshop/content/211990 folders just make them.

I hope this helped you!

Edit: If this doesn't work then go into the launcher settings in the launcher (bottom left) and turn on receive beta versions of the launcher, after which run through the process from the very start.

go to launcher-settings.json Change distPlatform from "steam" to "gog" instead, but you need to have an online fix file. If it doesn't work, I don't know because I tried and it worked.

Adding to this, you can absolutely 100% ditch the launcher, which will only annoy you as you play a cracked game.

To enable/disable mods and DLC, use the dlc_load.json file in the documents directory of the game. If it doesn't exist, just create it and format it as such

{

"disabled_dlcs":[],

"enabled_mods":["mod/third.mod"]

}
The third.mod is an example, it is the descriptor file of a mod. You put it inside the brackets and then load the game. The mod loads.

For multiple mods, just put commas between, example:

{

"disabled_dlcs":[],

"enabled_mods":["mod/third.mod" , "mod/second.mod"]

}
Strictly format it as such, or it may not work and the mod won't load

Manually drag and drop into the game file downside you can only have 1 mod only because if you try add other and that will rewrite something causing it to break.

i cant play with mods. this always happens:

Failed to load the map

Some errors are present in the map definition and have been logged to error.log

You might want to disable your mods and try again.
If that fails, check the integrity of game files inside steam.
If that fails, try clearing your user directory from the launcher.

the only mod i can play is road to 56

This error happens because of failed file pathing, as in, your game fails to find the map files and as such fails to load and crashes

This happened to me a lot when trying to load Kaiserreich. I fixed it however. The problem was the pathing indeed. Go to the .mod descriptor file and edit it. This editing is way more easy when using a tool such as notepad+++

Look for the path, if it isn't there, put it yourself:

This is my path for kaiserreich: path="C:/Users/Asus/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/kaiserreich"

One major error is the stripes. You may copy a path and your computer will put it with \ stripes, but this way, it won't be understood as a correct path by the mod, so make sure your path has / stripes, NOT \

Secondly, make sure the path is formated accordingly with the example, for example, it is started and ended with inverted commas "..."

Also makes sure the end of the path is the same name as your mod's FOULDER name, naming it something simple helps a ton.

This should fix the issue, it did for me, if it doesn't or you need help in the way feel free to ask, although I am not the sharpest when it comes to modding I can get around simple issues such as these.

I played it well with no troubles but, when i tried to install Millenium Dawn mod it started to answer me with the map load error. I tried to reinstall the mod but nothing, and after i tried to launch the game in debug mod and actually the map was a mess. After all i seen your comment and i tried to fix it but in the descriptor.mod file theh slashes and the commaas were fine. How i can fix it?

  1. Pick a mod on the steam workshop for HOI4

  2. Head over to https://steamworkshopdownloader.io/

  3. Copy-paste the link of said mod's steampage

  4. Download

  5. Head to documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV

  6. Go to mods folder, if it doesn't exist, create it

  7. Paste the zip file there

  8. Extract file. Rename extracted folder with a more simple name if need be.

  9. Open folder and take the .mod file out of said folder into the mods folder

  10. Forgot to tell ya, sorry, you have to install a text editing tool. I highly recommend notepad++, it makes the experience way easier. Otherwise you can use the built-in windows notepad app...but it is hell working with it when it comes to code chains.

  11. Open the .mod file with notepad++ (Or a similar tool). Look for path. Where it says path, insert the exact file path that heads to the certain mod's folder. Example: C:\Users\Asus\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod\kaiserreich

This is my path to my kaiserreich folder.

The line in the file will thus be
path="C:/Users/Asus/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/kaiserreich"

Be careful: You HAVE to use /, NOT . Using \ will break the pathing.

12.Change the .mod file name. Example for kaiserreich, it would be kaissereich.mod

  1. You are all set! Now! You don't have a launcher! How do you load your mod in??? In one easy solution. Exit the mods folder and go back to the Hoi4 documents folder.
You should see dlc_load.json file. If you don't, create a text file with the exact name (But remember, it will be created as dlc_load.txt, you have to change it to dlc_load.json)

14: Open the file with notepad++ and insert this

{

"disabled_dlcs":[],

"enabled_mods":[]

}
In this file you can disable DLC and enable mods. Here's an example of how you put the mods you want to load in (ignore the "code" end and begginings)

{

"disabled_dlcs":[],

"enabled_mods":["mod/50s_80s_radio_mod.mod" , "mod/k_music.mod" , "mod/internationales.mod" , "mod/kaisercat.mod"]

}
You must put the path to the .mod folder between quotes and seperate every mod with a comma.

And you're done! You are ready to play modded HOI4. But remember, issues may arise from doing this wrong, even the tiniest mistake can ruin the whole process, I remember Kaiserreich crashing before loading map files because of a wrong pathing (I put \ instead of /)

Hello everyone, i have a problem thats quite anoying, the file steam_api64.dll is messing with me, the one that comes with the instalation, doesnt have any DLCs in it, online works fine, and steam overlay works just as expected. But if I want to play with all the content enabled i have to use the CODEX steam_api64.dll, which renders me unable to play online, and steam overlay and notification that i'm playing stops working (im mentioning steam and online playing together because i suppose that they are related in some way). Thank u guys and i hope i can be helped <3

You don't actually need a launcher to play the mod. So what you want to do:


Go to your Hearts Of Iron IV Document Folder (Document/Paradox
Interactive/Hears Of Iron IV)

After that click on click on dlc_load. json

Then it would be something like: {"enabled_mods":[],"disabled_dlcs":[]}

Now, if you have downloaded your mods and put the mods on the mod and workshop folder like this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEOWjNekrDs

Put the mod name on the brackets.
{"enabled_mods":["Endsieg.mod"],"disabled_dlcs":[]}
Note: The Mod name you put on the brackets is the same name on the
folder


To put another mod do it like, for example
{"enabled_mods":["Endsieg.mod","Easybuff.mod"],"disabled_dlcs":[]}
Note: The mod version in the descriptor must be added. And if there is
already a version added to it, the version of the mod doesn't 
      affect the game


Play the game manually, don't use the launcher
So if you want to change mods you have to manually open dlc_load.json everytime you want to change the mods. So i would recommend putting a desktop shortcut.

On the drive you mounted your .iso file (same place where setup.exe was) to there is a folder called "CODEX". Copy the contents of the folder (should be three files containing "steam" in their name) to the install directory (you can access this directory easily by right-click on the desktop shortcut > Open file location).

Please show me picture of the .mod file of the mod. Most likely the path is incorrect.

In other advice, I'd recommend downloading all mods you can find from Skymods. If unavailable, use some sort of Steam Workshop Downloader service. It makes the process relatively straightforward, with minor path tweaking at most.

Guys to play with mods there is an easy fix that I used for EU4 as well:
– Go to your hoi4 install folder and edit the “launcher-settings.json” file with a text editor.
– In the third line ” distPlatform”: “steam”, replace steam with pdx.
– To play you now need to run the dowser.exe file (run as admin) and you’re good to go
– If mod doesnt work change the path of the descriptor path ie: Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/123456"
(change it to the highlighted part)

tip for using mods:
you can subscribe to mods from the official paradox mods site, you just need to make an account, log in through the browser and launcher, add the launcher as a non-steam game, start the launcher and pick which mods you want to enable, then you start the game by using it's exe and that's pretty much how you get mods

okay, i found something. I had the game in folder which doesnt supported non-english words. Then i putted it into (whole game) another folder which supported english words.
What i mean is that if you have the in folder which path is for example -> D/folder(in which is ě,š,č,ř,ž, or any other character like !,§,?, etc.) --> then Dowser cannot find the hoi4.exe file. Its dumb but it is what it is. If you have dowser in (again example)-> D/downloads/Games --> then that game should be running.
So try it, and tell me if that worked for you, also didnt use any mods and did -> Clear User Directory .
I hope this will work for you friend!

Was able to change language via dowser.exe and/or bootstrapper in the game folder. Simply use the globus in the upper right corner of the launcher to change language, then start.

I don't know if you will read this, but actually you just need to run the "dowser.exe" file then scroll down in the launcher an you will have the option to change the language. then click on "save" (if there is no "save" button then just quit the launcher) and launch hoi4.exe. there you are.

For those asking, here's how to install mods:
Open your Hoi4 folder and look for the .json file launcher-settings.json. Right click on it and select edit with Notepad/Notepad++. Now look for "distPlatform" : "steam" (It should be the third line). Replace "steam" with "pdx". Next, look for the executable called dowser.exe and run it as an administrator. This is the Paradox Launcher where you'll be able to browse for mods. In case you do not find a mod here on their platform, go to skymods and download them from there.
To install a mod manually, go into your Documents folder, then Paradox Interactive, then Hearts of Iron 4. Manually create a folder named mod. Mods from the skymods website should come with a folder that has a file inside named descriptor.mod.. Take the file out of the downloaded mod folder and give both the folder and the descriptor.mod file the same name (except that the file will have the extension .mod). Right click on the .mod file and click edit with Notepad/Notepad++. Look for remote _file_id= "(whatever is in quotations)"
Replace the name in quotations with the name you gave both the mod folder and the descriptor.mod file (so that the file knows where to do its thing).
If there is a line starting with the word archive, replace the word with path. If there is no line at all starting with either archive or path, manually create one yourself that looks something like this:
path="C/Users/(fill this in with the folder you have your Documents folder in)/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/(fill this in with the name you gave both your mod folder and your descriptor.mod file)
Reply if you have any issues with the mod starting. I recommend downloading a mod from the Paradox Launcher first (any random mod) and trying to see how those files behave before trying to manually download a mod from skymods.

I don't know why ... but when I try to run the game from the download folder, it opens, but anywhere else, like the desktop, I get the error (0xc0000142). for some reason, other games have the same error, but when I move the game folder to the download folder, it just starts working, so it could be a problem on my computer. well, until now there was no big problem, just needed to create a shortcut, nothing much, but then I tried to play with mods ... it didn't work because for some reason if the game and the launcer are inside the download folder, they can't access the documents folder where the mods are, so I can't play with the mods, is there any way to fix this? like, is it possible to run correctly anywhere other than the download folder?

Thats what im telling you, the launcher is extremely unreliable in many circumstances, ESPECIALLY on cracked games. So thats why rather then wasting hours trying to fix the errors associated with mods; i.e Failed to load map, DLC not confirmed, game freezes and so forth. Just use the simple yet extremely reliable technique i used, the only error you can get is when the mod doesn't support 1.9* or 1.10*
Avatar
Javolsda
You don't actually need a launcher to play the mod. So what you want to do:

  1. Go to your Hearts Of Iron IV Document Folder (Document/Paradox
    Interactive/Hears Of Iron IV)
  2. After that click on click on dlc_load. json
  3. Then it would be something like: {"enabled_mods":[],"disabled_dlcs":[]}
  4. Now, if you have downloaded your mods and put the mods on the mod and workshop folder like this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEOWjNekrDs
  5. Put the mod name on the brackets.
    {"enabled_mods":["Endsieg.mod"],"disabled_dlcs":[]}
    Note: The Mod name you put on the brackets is the same name on the
    folder
    
  6. To put another mod do it like, for example
    {"enabled_mods":["Endsieg.mod","Easybuff.mod"],"disabled_dlcs":[]}
    Note: The mod version in the descriptor must be added. And if there is
    already a version added to it, the version of the mod doesn't 
            affect the game
    
  7. Play the game manually, don't use the launcher
    So if you want to change mods you have to manually open dlc_load.json everytime you want to change the mods. So i would recommend putting a desktop shortcut.

bob (other ones to) if you read this you must firstly know this is outdated version of the game and has a lot of bug :/ secondly follow what I say :
1- Open Folder of game and find ''launcher-settings.json'' next open as this with text document, after that find steam (or gog) change to pdx.
2- If you have dll error you must get latest versions of DirectX (version that your PC can support), Java, .NET Frameworks, C++ frameworks. after be sure about windows defender dosen't block hoi4.exe (if you don't know how to do that just google it or look youtube)
3- If you want use mods, download mods at http://steamworkshopdownloader.io (
copy the steam link of the mod you want to download and paste it ) after open your dowser as admin and make a new mod (just randomize it settings but game version is important make it currently verison of game (1.10.1) ) finally open your mod file and copy everything and paste it to what you named as mod
4- If New version done by skidrow follow this :
copy inside everything of ''CRACK'' file (probably 3 file ) and paste it in main folder of the game (after setup)
Good Luck

You can just go to the mods section in the launcher, add them to the playset, select all the mods you want then click on play(no idea if u-you need to do it but i do it just in case) and then exit out of the launcher. then launch hoi4 with the application and normally the mods will be active

Friendly Reminders :
If your game won't start because a DLL is missing, try seeing the Windows Defender settings to see if Windows marked the DLLs as a virus (note, they aren't actually viruses, Windows just thinks they are), if it has marked it as such, make sure that Windows Defender allows the file.
Also make sure that you have the correct APIs installed, these include the latest DirectX version (that your PC can support), Java, .NET Frameworks, C++ frameworks, etc.
Also make sure that you are certain your PC will do fine on the game you are downloading, as sometimes the IGG specifications are either incorrect or not listed at all.
In this case I'd say it's incorrect, but opinions may differ, for me, my recommendation would be :
Minimum :
OS : Any OS above Windows 7, regardless of whether it's 32 bit or 64 bit, but go for 64 bit to take advantage of your extra RAM
Processor : Anything from 2011 or newer will do just fine
Memory : 4GB, anything below that is not enough to run a system these days,
Graphics : I'd recommend an 8800 GTX or better, anything older will either run just above "playable" or won't support DirectX 9.0, (Note : To be specific, the earliest Nvidia card that supports DirectX 9 is the ones in the FX Series (2003) and for AMD/ATI it would be the R300 series (2003), however, those are very weak and so they won't be able to play the game so easily)
Storage : 4GB (as of now the game is 3.2GB big)
Recommended :
OS : Windows 10 64 bit to take advantage of modern utilities
Processor : Any CPU made after 2015 will do
Memory : 8GB or 16GB
Graphics : GTX 480 or better (AMD Equivalent is HD 7850)
Storage : Probably more than 100GB since Windows 10 alone takes up a lot of space
enjoy!

Had the same problem. For mE it got fixed after updating DirectX runtimr (which became another can of worms by itself).
Links for runtime:
online installer https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=35 (which didn't work for me for some .cab file issue)
offline installer: https://www.directx.com.es/download/ (in Spanish since I couldn't find it in english without a crapton of adware as a side dish, or with a bandwith better than what you could find in Antartica). Just open zip and run setup.

This doesn't work for cracked, just for Steam version. Reason is it only provides DLC, not the patch. Steam auto-updates games you bought from them, whereas for this to work for cracked version you would need to have 1.10 already, which I haven't seen cracked yet.

Bonjour monsieur/madame.
First of all, to help you, I need to know what site you downloaded mods from.
First error is most likely associated with mistakes in .mod file, or if descriptor.mod was pasted to game directory without replacing "archive" line with "path" line. However I still have to know what is the site you downloaded it from.
I am afraid I am not experienced enough to help with error no. 2, but if you can provide me with exact text of the error there might be something I could work out.
Please tell me the above and than wr can proceed.

Hello thanks for help,
The site where Idownload mods is "http://steamworkshop.download/"

Gustavus Adolphus
Hello and thanks for the reply.
So, here are the instructions to fix your problem (hopefully). Let me know if it persists.

  1. I presume you are using WinRar to extract your files. Extract .zip file you downloaded to the folder. Rename the folder "Kaiserreich" (without quotation marks) - very important.
  2. Inside of the folder is descriptor.mod. Copy & open the copy.
  3. Almost at the bottom you will see the line saying "path="C:/Users/gabri/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/Kaiserreich". Change "gabri" to your username (found at C:/Users), or better yet, delete everything up to mod/Kaiserreich, making it look like "path="mod/Kaiserreich". Save the changes and exit the file. OPTIONAL: Rename "descriptor - Copy" to "Kaiserreich" or sometimes like that for easier recognition which mod is the file linked to.
  4. Copy your copied descriptor to mod folder in My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod.
  5. Copy "Kaiserreich" folder to the same folder.
    Enjoy!
    For the second error, I am not 100% sure this will help. Do not launch HOI4 from dowser.exe. Open dowser.exe to check mods, close it and run the game from hoi4.exe.

Go to Map sub directory. You will find some excel files. The one that has the suffix .old has to be renamed. Delete the .old suffix (leave the rest of the name as it is) and launch the game from the hoi4.exe
Dowser will probably work if you meddle with the steamapi files-there are many tutorials available online.

step one uninstall the current codex hoi4
step two reinstall but after you have gotten the file turn off your internet and then install hoi4 using the codex file. DO NOT RECONNECT UNTIL YOU FINISHED THE REMANDING STEPS BELLOW!!!
step three go to firewall under control panels and go to allow an app or feature through fire wall and scroll through the apps until you find dowser (if you dont find dowser.exe click add app and go to the file where hoi4 is installed, find dowser, then add it) then if there is a check mark in the far far left box remove it.
step 4 go to launcher-setings.jason change file to txt then there should be near the top the word steam, change that to gog then save the .txt and then it back to. json
also you need to run dowser as admin otherwise hoi4 wont start when you click start in the launcher. and if dowser.exe ever ask for firewall access deny it. if you did this correctly the launcher should say something like could not connect to the internet or something like that. you must always launch hoi4 through the launcher to enable the mods.

http://smods.ru works good. It is synchronised with workshop so most mods is up to date, and files are setup in a way that requires only pasting the files into the respected folder, although few mods are locked by author (Kaiserreich), but you can use the workshop downloader and forge .mod file by copying, renaming and changing few values if you have one from site above. Beware, if you're using mod for newer version of HoI, it can also crash (conversion mods or focus trees).

You just have to go to your windows security, virus & threat protection then under current threaths you wil see allowed threats. Click it and you'll see the missing file that has been blocked. Allow it and done! If it still doesn't work you just have to update / install your Direct X because all games requires it to run

step one uninstall the current codex hoi4
step two reinstall but after you have gotten the file turn off your internet and then install hoi4 using the codex file. DO NOT RECONNECT UNTIL YOU FINISHED THE REMANDING STEPS BELLOW!!!
step three go to firewall under control panels and go to allow an app or feature through fire wall and scroll through the apps until you find dowser (if you dont find dowser.exe click add app and go to the file where hoi4 is installed, find dowser, then add it) then if there is a check mark in the far far left box remove it.
step 4 go to launcher-setings.jason change file to txt then there should be near the top the word steam, change that to gog then save the .txt and then it back to. json
also you need to run dowser as admin otherwise hoi4 wont start when you click start in the launcher. and if dowser.exe ever ask for firewall access deny it. if you did this correctly the launcher should say something like could not connect to the internet or something like that. you must always launch hoi4 through the launcher to enable the mods
enjoy!!!
i used multiple methods and combined them this should work for everyone, if you don't get it, reply to me and i will get back to you as soon as possible and guide you through the steps.

Use dowser.exe. it automatically install and execute latest launcher
find launcher-settings.json ,change "distPlatform": "steam" into "distPlatform": "gog"
it will fix DLC ,steam api error
in mod file, move zip file(ex: 820260968_the_road_to_56 .zip) to username/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod
open zip file and extract descriptor.mod to mod/ and rename it ex) 820260968.mod
add this line
path="mod/[zip file name]"
ex) path="mod/820260968_the_road_to_56"
no more unwanted vanilla
if mod(or dlc)have an error, move it to another location, launch game, put it back
sorry bad english

I think I know how to fix the map loading error .
When you create a mod folder for yourself read the path of the original descriptor file of your mod , in my case it was EAW .
Find for this exact line in your mod file :
path="C:/Users/Utilizator/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/eaw
When you create your mod just use the name of the mod : in this case it is EAW.
Copy the descriptor file in the downloaded folder , delete the one the mod creation tool created ( Yes I think this is the most important part ) .
I have tried this and it fixed my problem with Equestria At War mod .

Ok, if the DLCs are working you did everything right and you are almost there. The problem is the Mod and what's written in the *.mod files. Depending on the place you downloaded the mod from (skymod or steamwks download), it has the correct structure (or not). Basically, mods on Skymod have the correct structure (root is a folder with many numbers and *.mod with the same numbers). If you do not have this structure, you can alway create it. Put both files in your workshop folder (in your documents / paradox etc.) Then copy the some_numbers.mod file to your mod folder. Open it, and change the path so that it links to your workshop folder (something like : /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/workshop/content/281990/some_numbers/ ) and relaunch the launcher. You should be able to load the mod.

On the ISO,when you mount it, there is a folder, CODEX if I remember correctly.... It contains Steams dll. Just copy them to your game repository, overwritting the previous ones.

Use dowser.exe to use DLC. It's the paradox launcher.
But before you launch it, open "launcher-settings.json", find "distPlatform": "steam" and change it to "distPlatform": "pdx".
Also let the launcher update itself if you can't use DLC/mods.

How do you guys install the launcher? Every time I try the installer it always say that "A newer version of launcher v2 is already installed." Can't find the launcher its talking about no matter where I look so I could delete it.

I will try to help you. But my apologies for bad english. There some sugest.

  1. Try to play it by open hoi4.exe, not dowser.exe. but if you want to play with mod you can still open dowser to tick the mod after that close it then play with hoi4.exe.
  2. Try to turn off your internet connection. Sometime it make game crack not correctly work. After all its a crack game.
  3. Don't interfere the loading. Like clik the mose while it loading. It may cause crash sometime for me when i play it.
  4. Try to re-install it. But remember to turn off your connection and anti virus. And put the crack file manually.
  5. If you play with mod. Then maybe the mod is the cause for crash due to the mod still not finish correctly maybe.

Make sure your launcher settings file doesn't have any errors (Mine looks like this: https://pastebin.com/N3ZTFiMk). If there were any errors the launcher should give a general error about failed initialization instead of launching, but just make sure.

If the error also says that it can't reach steam, you just need to tell it to not use steam as the platform.

are your .mod files and folders named as random numbers? if so, you need to put .mod files into the mod folder and the folder (that has the same name as the .mod file) into workshop/content/281990 folder. Both mod and workshop folder need to be in C:\Users[your pc name]\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV

I'm having problems with installing the mods, I've seen some comments in below and everyhing is correct. My mod folder path is Documents:Paradox Interactive:Hoi4:Mod. But for some reason whenever I add mod folders into it they don't show up in the launcher and I've tried many of them. When I create my mod with the tools it does show up in the launcher but the other ones I've downloaded don't. Can someone please help me if anyone has a solution please reply!
I've also reinstalled the game many times but to no avail. I hope someone has a answer to it!

It’s false positive. The method used to crack games is similar to the
method used to code malware! Anti-virus programs will detect the crack
as a virus and delete it, even though it isn’t!

The mod folder has to be here: C:\Users%USER%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod
If your mod path is correct, Check the read-only option for your .mod files.
If neither helped, you can try the following:

  1. Go to "C:\Users%USER%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV"
  2. Open up "dlc_load.json"
  3. Enter the mod names like this: "enabled_mods": ["mod/MODNAME1.mod","mod/MODNAME2.mod",....
  4. DON'T start the game with dowser.exe, use hoi4.exe instead.

In the music section looks like they removed some of the Sabaton DLC music pack songs is that a decision of Paradox Interactive or the Hoodlum guys removed it ?

Well i turned off the antivirus and then i installed the game...
Maybe you have more than 1 antivirus i'm using Windows Defender so i just turned off that one and then i used Winrar to extract the setup and then i install it...
So try first to turn off your antivirus and then extract the rar ok if you do it after, the antivirus might delete the setup or the crack trust me it happened to me so i do it like that and it worked...
I hope you can find this useful...

For those that want to use mods with the new launcher do this:

  1. Go to your hoi4 install folder and install the launcher with launcher-installer-windows.msi
  2. edit the “launcher-settings.json” file with a text editor.
  3. In the third line ” distPlatform”: “steam”, replace steam with pdx.
  4. To play you now need to run the dowser.exe file (run as admin) and you’re good to go
    You can download HOI4 mods http://hearts-of-iron-4.smods.ru/

If the game doesnt start chances are you deleted the crack folder. Your antivirus can do this automatically & it will just look like everything is normal but a file will be missing. Switch off antivirus till after install. If you downloaded this file with antivirus on I can almost guarantee that you deleted the crack. I downloaded the game, switched antivirus off, extract & click installer - works 100% & all DLC is available including the latest

It will always label the crack file as a virus. Thats why we either deactivate the antivirus or simply tell windows defender to ignore when the popup shows. If you dont do this you will delete the crack folder automatically (the reason most of these people in the comments keep saying "wont run" etc - their antivirus deleted the crack
