turns my map into a horrifying pitch black world with red and green, I guess I should check the last updated date before I install mods

Found a way to use HΛLΛXΣL's fix:

Go to EU4 mod folder, u'll have there bunch of *.mod files, e.g. ugc_231191093.mod. Open them with notepad until you find something like:

name="Better Fog of War Mod"
tags={
"fixes"
"graphics"
}
picture="betterfow.jpg"
supported_version="1.25.*.*"
archive="F:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/###/###/###_legacy.bin"
That is the actual name of the mod and the path to the files of the mod, which is in this case:

F:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/###/###/###_legacy.bin

Your path might be different ofc. Since the mods are downloaded via workshop and applied by the new launcher this is the only place where the files exist locally and will be loaded by the game.
So you navigate through the appropriate (rather weird) path of this folder structure and then you open the 936060064723263339_legacy.bin with any packing program, like winrar, 7-zip, etc. And there are the files which you should fix like HΛLΛXΣL said.

HΛLΛXΣL how can I apply the fix with this new Launcher? There are no .zip files in the mod folders anymore.

HΛLΛXΣL thank you so very much for your fix. Greatly appreciated.

Made a quick fix .

Another Graphical mod that got killed on the update, Paradox inquisition on graphical mods was the objective of this update :P

fix 1.29 pleaseeeeeee
Pennsylvanian 17 Sep, 2019 @ 5:34pm 
Okay so 1.29 REALLY messed up all the previous mods. What can we do to get this mod working proper again? I can't imagine playing with that obtrusive, over-powering vanilla FoW.
Ashura Mazah 17 Sep, 2019 @ 1:42pm 
For some reason this mod REALLY breaks the map in 1.29. Can you please check this?
Japi 27 Jun, 2019 @ 4:59pm 
The dimming is still happening in both this and the other mod. Any chance of fix? It's so frustrating to constantly zoom in and out trying to fix the dimness.

Please update!

Update my good sir?
Safir  [author] 31 Mar, 2018 @ 10:59am 
No, sri, but the instructions are above, you'll have to do it yourself or ask someone else to do it.
Safir  [author] 30 Mar, 2018 @ 5:41pm 
Tnx man!
higbort 30 Mar, 2018 @ 5:37pm 
this is the best mod ever
Safir  [author] 23 Mar, 2018 @ 4:03pm 
@Thekimyaci It's updated to the latest patch, I'm unaware of any DLC incompatible with this mod, but even if it is I couldn't correct for it as I don't play the game any more and thus have stopped purchasing DLC. Check the link in the description for external download and you will probably be able to make it work. Again, I doubt it'll be DLC, but there might be incompatibilities with other mods. Good luck!
Safir  [author] 22 Mar, 2018 @ 8:44pm 
I haven't played myself in a while, but it's such an easy thing to keep updated as long as I get reminded of it. Tnx for the kind words!
BobBeasta 20 Mar, 2018 @ 3:51pm 
I really appreciate that you keep this mod so well updated. The mod's not flashy but I hate playing without it!
Safir  [author] 20 Mar, 2018 @ 1:32pm 
Updated to 1.25.x compatibility
Safir  [author] 12 Dec, 2017 @ 3:22pm 
Updated!
De Mosselman 12 Dec, 2017 @ 10:12am 
Hey could you look into updating the mod for 1.24? :coffee:
De Mosselman 17 Nov, 2017 @ 11:03am 
Thank you for the quick update!
Safir  [author] 16 Nov, 2017 @ 4:23pm 
Tnx for lettin' me know! Updated!
Lipe 16 Nov, 2017 @ 10:06am 
update please!!
Safir  [author] 20 Sep, 2017 @ 7:17am 
@OzbyBray I don't know unfortunately. The mods are technically compatible, but maybe visually incompatible. You might try to tweak some parameters to make it better, unfortunately I don't have time to check what could make it work.
Just4Kicks 16 Aug, 2017 @ 7:11pm 
do you know why when I use TBARW's transparent political map, the lands have less snow on them (a la France) http://imgur.com/a/tIk2I , and if there is a fix to it
Safir  [author] 18 Jun, 2017 @ 9:10am

O Implacavel 27 Feb, 2017 @ 2:19pm 
Why does it say I don't have permission to acess the page when I click the link to Paradox Forums? I already have an acc there btw
Safir  [author] 25 Dec, 2016 @ 6:06pm 
Put the link up on the paradox forums, tnx for reminding me @aahron!

Connor 23 Dec, 2016 @ 8:08pm 
yas thank very much
Safir  [author] 23 Dec, 2016 @ 5:21am 
Oh wow, I'm so sorry I didn't update this. I got a new phone and must have missed to enable the steam notifications. I haven't logged in on steam on the desktop for a while cause I was busy with my business and gettin' everything sorted before the end of the year, also christmas.

It's now updated to be 1.19.x compatible! Hope you have the time to play much during the holidays! Sorry again, and have fun!
Evil Boomer 15 Dec, 2016 @ 3:37am 
Open .mod file with Notepad, change 1.18 to 1.19 and save it. Work well for me.
RandomHuman 14 Dec, 2016 @ 6:55am 
please update to 1.19
Connor 13 Dec, 2016 @ 3:53pm
