[2022] Yet another EU4 blackscreen [MacOS] [Epic]

I take it the game has never run okay on this machine? What if you start it from eu4.app directly in Finder, what happens then?

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log .

And can I see a screenshot of your About This Mac overview, thanks.  

FYI this game is not supported on Intel video systems on any OS. But that would normally just make the game run slow, not crash on load.

In your title you say "yet another blackscreen", but you also say the game has never run on this system. What did you mean by that?

Odd that your pdx_settings.txt (made by our launcher) says you are in borderless mode, yet settings.txt (made by our game) says fullScreen. If you delete settings.txt and try the game from the EPic play button , does it make a new settings.txt ?

If we don't get somewhere soon I'm going to suggest you seek a refund from Epic, based on the hardware issue.

I do virtually all the technical support for this game here and in our ticketing system. I do not see this as a common issue on any OS.

If you delete settings.txt and try the game from the EPic play button , does it make a new settings.txt ?

Constantchange said: One question - is Stellaris plagued by the same issues and hardware incompatibilities?

If you mean is it also unsupported on Intel video systems, the answer is "yes", as it is for virtually all our games. Intel video systems are integrated, not GPUs, and are thus weak and slow compared to a dedicated GPU. However as I say i is not usual for that to cause it to crash on load.
