Hoi 4 ошибка unable to locate the configuration file

Started getting this after I re-installed EU4. The first time I launched the game through Steam everything went fine and I proceeded through the launcher as normal, but now it’s giving me this error. I can launch the game normally through eu4.exe

Have you moved your Windows User Documents folder somewhere else perhaps?

Please try this:

— exit the Steam app completely
— uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows «Apps and features» utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:
— C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
— C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
— C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/

— run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
— run EU4 from the Steam PLAY button

I hope that works for you!

Have you moved your Windows User Documents folder somewhere else perhaps? The launcher can have problems if it’s been moved to, say D: or whatever.

Nope, it’s still in C:. EU4 (and presumably the Launcher) is uninstalled in D: however, could that be the root of the problem?

I think you’ll find the launcher is in C:

Please try installing EU4 in C: also; while that should not be a problem it is worth the test I think. Do the process in post #2 above afterwards.

Hello! I have about the same problem. The launcher starts normally, and when I click «play» in the launcher, it says that the game could not be started. If you try to run the game through the folder, it says «an error occurred while starting the application (0xc000007b).

Already reinstalled all 3 times. Post 2 also did, It did not help. Help me please! Thanks!

Please try this:

— exit the Steam app completely

— run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user

I hope that works for you!

Удаляй лаунчер через винду

Переходи на одну папку назад и используй поиск введя Paradox Interactive, удаляй папки, которые найдешь. Их в сумме три.
Показать полностью.
В одной из них, находится конфигурация лаунчера и путь к основным файлам, и именно эту папку необходимо удалить
После, устанавливай, заходи, тестируй, если проблема не решилась, обращайся в лс

Ещё могут возникать такие проблемы, если пользователь в винде на кириллице

Если у тебя была версия 1.29, проблема наблюдается, как фиксануть на постоянную основу, хз

I have been playing ME Legendary Edition via EA Desktop, via the EA Play subscription service. Everywhere I look online, I am told the configuration file should be located here

C:Program FilesEA GamesMass Effect Legendary EditionGameME2BioGameConfig

However, there is no Config folder in this location. The only folders I have are CookedPCConsole, DLC, Movies, and Splash.

I have played the first game, in it’s entirety, and have played an hour or two of the second. Neither of the game folders have a config folder, in the BioGame folder.

Am I missing something stupid obvious here?

@Holger1405 Yes installing it onto another drive/location seemed to have worked.

Unknown, if the solution is due to it being in another location, or if it any ole reinstall woulda fixed it. If I was a betting man, I’d say it was likely, that the location was the problem.

Thank you.

I don’t have EA Play, so my file path is a bit different:

C:Program Files (x86)Origin GamesMass Effect Legendary EditionGameME2BioGameConfig

I haven’t finished playing ME1LE, so I didn’t see the file at first. I fired up ME2LE to see if the Config file would appear and it did faster than a Collector attack.

Is it possible that the file may be hidden?

it does not contain the game’s config file or, a folder called config.

But, for the regular ME games, the documents folder does contain BIOgame/config with, everything you’d expect to see

C:UsersCarlDocumentsBioWareMass Effect 2BIOGameConfig

There is PCConsoleTOC.bin file.

Yes, in the old games the «Documents» folder was the standard folder for the «Config» folder.

I thought that the game might have got back to Momm if it had a problem creating the folder in your «BIOGame» folder in the game folder.

Search your PC for the «GamerSettings.ini» file. If you have the original games installed you should have 5 of them.

The two for the original ME2 & ME3 and three for the MELE. (If you have started LE3 already)

Wherever the «GamerSettings.ini» file is, your «Config» folder should be there as well.

@Holger1405 Yeah already did that, the only GamerSettings.ini files are for the regular ole mass effect games, nothing regarding the legendary edition which makes me wonder if this is a EA desktop subscription sorta thing, similarly to how Microsoft’s game pass has their installs, which are sometimes, similarly nebulous.

@xXTheBingsXx

The files in the «Config» folder are created from the «Coalesced_INT.bin». (or the local equivalents.)

(If you delete the «Config» folder it is just recreated from the settings in the «Coalesced_INT.bin».)

So it is possible that the game reads directly from the»Coalesced_INT.bin» if it can’t find a «Config» folder

It is also possible that the EA Play subscription version has a different file structure, I just saw no other reports about the «Config» folder missing, neither here nor on the Nexus.

What about a «BIOWeapon.ini»?

Message 8 of 11

★★★ Novice

@Holger1405 I do have Coalesced_INT.bin

I also have BIOWeapon, BIOGame and BIOEngine.

Out of curiosity I decided to attempt to create a config folder, in the proper location, and I was told I needed administration permission to do so.

I am now wondering if the issue is, the game cannot create the folder itself. I am going to reinstall the game on another drive, and see if this is the problem.

Yeah, it had to be there, without it the game would not work.

Is that «BIOWeapon.ini?»

If yes, in what folder is it?

I assumed from the start that some permission isuue is the problem, the «C:Program Files (x86)» and «C:Program Files» folder have special protection inside Windows.
(It normally still should work.)
That is why I said it might be possible that the game reads directly from the «Coalesced_INT.bin», or the language variants if you play the game in a different language than English, if it can’t find a «Config» folder.

Installing it to another drive could very well solve the problem.
