On a normal launcher, you can use startup argument -debug to launch the debug mode, however doing so on this launcher through Steam results in game crashing.

I've had no problems with it for the month or so that I've been using it, since the actual launcher for the game is completely non-functional. About a week ago it stopped updating with the new mods I've been subscribing to - I've tried reinstalling the mods and the launcher to no avail.

This may align with my last issue: the new descriptor generator works great, (although the mods have no thumbnails, but you probably know that already) but any new mods I have subscribed to will not be enabled upon launching the game. I have already reinstalled both the recent release of the launcher and the game (and launcher) itself, but nothing changes. The launcher enables and disables older mods I've been subscribed to for months perfectly.

I wanted to private message instead of creating a whole new issue, but apparently that's not even a thing on this website. Sorry about that.

i can't understand how to install

I can perfectly install the launcher and run it but when I go to play the game it doesn't let me and it says that it does not have access to some .json file. Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it and run the game??? Other than that this seems to be a really cool passion project.

Hello, how are you? I had a problem with .NET Framework when starting the game, I got an error box that said I had to enable JIT Debugging, many pages on the internet told me to put "<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />" in the file ".exe.config" which was "Hoi4 Launcher.exe.config". After that I didn't get the error, but the Launcher closes and the game doesn't open.
I put "<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />" at the end of the file, before

Hello there - the launcher worked for me and it's really great since I'm literally unable to even launch the game via launcher 70 % of the time, but there is a single problem - how to launch the game in debug mode with the launcher? I considered checking the "Settings" Tab of the launcher, but I only see a white screen there.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hoi4 launches with it as not responding and the settings are blank so I can't put it on fullscreen on launch. What gives?

Hey, idk if this project is maintained, but anyway:

I have configured the "gameDataPath" in the launcher-settings.json file to a custom path. When i try to open your launcher, it still searches for the dlc_load.json in the default gameDataPath. Can you fix this?

When I run the launcher the options for no step back and the katyusha music dlc are not there so I was wondering if you were going to update the launcher to include those on the dlc menu.
