to the Tech Support subforum.  

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 .

Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.  

Is this all on Speed 5 ? because it is very different to the others; does speed 4 work any better in this respect?

You did unload GeForce Experience before starting the game, yes?

Run msconfig in the Windows Search box. Go into boot-advanced. If Number of Processors is ticked there, untick it and apply and reboot.

And finally, undo any over-clocking you might have enabled.


If those don't help, I don't really have anything else to look at I'm afraid! Can you test an affected save game on any other machine you might have available to you?

Which is why I said to only run the x86 and x64 installers!


We have one more shot; I'm afraid this is a bit of work, but please delete this list of files (about 50 in total)

That 0xc00007b Windows error is almost always caused by a missing or bad Microsoft module, usually Visual C++.

In the Windows control panel uninstall ALL instances of VC++ 2010 and 2015/17/19/22 - there may be several of each. No need to touch any others.

Then Install these Microsoft modules:

eddyr said: experienced no thermal throttling

What actual CPU and GPU temperatures are you seeing as the problem is evident in the game?  

As the problem happens when you run eu4.exe directly, the issue is nothing to do with the launcher.

When you ran eu4.exe manually was any Windows error shown?  

Has this game ever worked on this machine? Or never yet?

When you ran eu4.exe manually was any Windows error shown?

ryarovyk said: but for some reason, logs and settings.txt are not in the folder:

settings.txt ought to be in the same folder as pdx_settings.txt . There should also be a /logs/ folder there - is there not?

What antivirus do you use? Some need extra steps.  

It may have been a temporary issue, regardless I'm happy to hear it worked out ! Enjoy the game!  

I don't fully understand this, what exactly is the issue? You redeemed the game on Steam > installed it > then what? If you get an error please provide a screenshot.  

Right click on eu4.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode.

Edit settings.txt as follows:

refreshRate=60
fullScreen=yes
borderless=no

vsync=no

THEN unload GeForce Experience if running, and try the game from the Steam PLAY button.

Is that any better?  

It is up to the nVidia apps to make that decision, the game has no influence over what GPU it uses. Has this always happened with this game? Or it used to be okay up to some point?

That first screenshot shows the openGL choice, but this game uses DirectX 9 not openGL.  

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4 folders
In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test with a new campaign - NOT any existing one

English only in the forum but to answer your question, adding languages is a more complex process than just going "Oh, let's add that language!". It's costly and as such we tend to look at revenue generated from regions and Turkey isn't currently a big enough driver for us to translate our games.
Italians are usually also asking about this so if it makes you feel any better you're not alone .  

This forum software has a limit on file size, but I don't know offhand what that is.

If you compress that file will it attach then?  

Nixou said: Is the launcher Paradox' or Steam's handiwork?

The Steam-branded client/launcher is Steam's, when you hit PLAY there the Paradox-branded launcher that then starts is Paradox's.  

renno621 said: Thanks for getting back to me,
Unfortunately I am unable to update as I do not have administrator privileges on this device. It may be a while before the organisation decides to update systems. Thank you for the assistance though.

Sorry about that! 2022.12 came out the other day but I don't think this was fixed in that update.  

Well, I'm just passing on what a user found helped them, I can't actually do this myself as I don't have the problem!

What do you see in the Xbox app?  

Did you mean to post this in bug Reports, perhaps?  

This may be a bug in the launcher, which seems to require MacOS 12 now. Were you at all thinking of updating MacOS? If so please do that and confirm for me that it helps, then I can report that to the developers.
