Info
I created a patcher, that disables checksum checking on ironman game starting or loading. That means that use can use any mods you want and still earning achievements.
Installation
1. Download latest patcher executable from GitHub releases page[github.com]
2. Unzip it in directory with eu5.exe executable file (right-click on EU5 on steam > Manage > Browse local files > Go in binaries directory)
3. Run universal-checksum-patcher-windows.exe
FAQ
1. Can I get banned for using that patcher?
I can't guarantee you won't. Maybe.

2. Can my PC get hacked by using this patcher?
I can't guarantee you won't. Maybe.

3. Patch can't apply
Most probably Paradox major update changed bytes pattern, and now I need to recalculate hex values. All you can do is wait and pray.

4. Can I get achievements in multiplayer?
No.

5. Can I connect to players with other checksum in multiplayer?
No.
Credits

This is great, I didn't know there was one for other Paradox games which lock achievements behind checksums. Thank you for making it!

Thank you for your work! I am really unhappy with Paradox's decision to disable even UI mod achievements. Thanks to your patcher, I can at least use them again.

btw it needs to be specifically in the folder with the eu5 .exe, which is the binaries folder
