The games are new, both are the Definitive Edition. Same for Europa Universalis, it's the newest game.If they are old games, they may not support larger icons, or the thumbnail cache may be corrupted and needs to be rebuilt
Thank you!From a Powershell prompt, run the following to rebuild the icon and thumbnail caches.
Code:Get-ChildItem $ENV:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer -Include "thumbcache_*","iconcache_*" -Recurse | Remove-Item Stop-Process -Name explorer
No, I haven't because I didn't know if then I can reinstall them and the DLCs.Did you re install the games?
It worked! I can't believe it. Finally, after all this time. Can't thank you enough. I used the last option, downloaded the image, converted it then uploaded and it's perfect.I have part one and 2 and 3 all editions, but the icons are normal.
You have 3 options to solve it.
1- Try the tool in the below link.
Rebuild Shell Icon Cache v1.3
Rebuild Shell Icon Cache is a potable freeware Application and it will repair (renew or Refresh) and Fix the preview of the Windows Iconswww.sordum.org
2- Recreate the shortcut.
3- Right click on the icon and go to properties then change icon. You can either download the icon file by searching for it. It must be a .ico file. If it is an image then you can use the below link to convert it to .ico. Or you can navigate to the game exe file and select it. Then it will use the same icon for the shortcut.
ICO Converter
Converts images to the ICO format for your websites or applications.www.icoconverter.com
Make sure to not move the new ICO file that you created. It will always be linked to the shortcut.It worked! I can't believe it. Finally, after all this time. Can't thank you enough. I used the last option, downloaded the image, converted it then uploaded and it's perfect.
Can you or any of the guys here please help me with something else related to a game? I have the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 from GoG. The problem is that whenever I click on it, it opens the GoG window, I press play, get Syncing 0%, then a sound like an error and the game doesn't start. I don't get it, I contacted the guys from the website and they told me that it should work.
The only thing that could work, they told me, was to download and install this. But I am reluctant to do it, because upon trying to do it I got a message that it isn't safe, not to mention that it's not compatible with the full game, as you can see.
Do you have any ideas on how to make it work?
I'm not on Steam, but on Gog. That's the platform where I downloaded the game from.There is an option in steam to start offline so that it does not contact any servers. If you don't require it to be online then try to find that option on the GOG platform .

Thank you!Yes I know. the point of my response is to do a search and not just to reply without any effort.
Anyway, There are two tips in the below link on how to do so.
How to run GOG games without internet connection [Solved]
When I try to run a GOG game, I get the popup from GOG Galaxy and I need to login, thus it wants to connect. This is stupid since GOG always advertises "No DRM and play games offline" Otherwise I could have bought all my games on Steam.www.techpowerup.com
Try them and let us know.
I don't have GOG full version to try such features. I usually just get "unofficial" games so that it works without any issues.
Thank you!Gog Galaxy needs internet access to sync
1st option is allow that and 2nd option is tell it not to sync
