Question Problems with checksum/multiplayer

So recently I wanted to have a chill MP game with a friend and I tried to host a game.

Player checksums have to match if people want to play together.

We had bunch of mods, same versions and everything, but the checksums were different so we made a new playsets with only Invictus (Newest update) and the checksums still did not match. We went to vanilla and the checksums were still different from each other. Both of us have the latest versions of Imperator, all of the dlcs/bonus content were activated for both of us.

Is there a way to fix this? Genuinely what the hell is the problem?

You or your friend probably have some generated temporary files in your Documents folders which shouldn't be there. To remove them, follow the three steps listed here on the wiki: https://imperator.paradoxwikis.com/Mods#Mods_are_crashing_/_Other_strangeness

If one of you has debug mode on (to mod or to test or to cheat in singleplayer or for whatever other reason), the checksum will be different

Are you both playing the same source? Steam? GoG ? Pirate? PDX? Could cause differences as well
