Europa Universalis IV Dev Tracker

So you have no problem now, is that right?  

SiMP3N said: I've played for a month with no issues, but when i tried to start the game today i just wont open up. At first i got to see the fullscreen background picture (that normally happens when u start the game) for 1-2 seconds before it just disappears, but now i only get that triangle in the launcher and nothing happens! :/
I've tried a whole bunch of things with settings that i could find, Cant try the resolution thing though since it doesn't exist in the epic launcher that I'm starting the game from.
Even a reinstall of both launcher and the game did not change anything. And i tried updating...

boardwalk80085 said: I just bought and downloaded EU4 for the first time with steam and when I press the launch button a red triangle appears and says Launching the game failed. I'm not the best with computers and if this kind of thing happens a lot/ the solution is hard should I just refund the game?

In the game launcher please set Display mode to Borderless. THEN go here:

There are a myriad of possible causes, from game bugs to malware to hardware faults to Windows problems.

We don't think it is a game bug as everyone else would be getting it, and you wouldn't have the same problem with multiple games.

Was there any significant change or update to the machine or Windows between the last time these games ran okay, and the first time this happened to one of them?

If you run the Windows UPdate app, does it find anything to apply? If so do that and reboot please.  

Certainly the launcher can be reinstalled but that really should not be necessary.

You are sure you allowed all 4 of those .exe files through your AV app, whatever it is?

AND then set them (except eu4.exe) to run as the Windows Admin user?  

If you exit Steam and run eu4.exe by itself, do you see a Windows error when it fails then?

And you may as well update that AMD video driver to 2021:

change of version on epic

I would like to know if it is possible to change version on epic game store by what I would like to play in 1.36. forum.paradoxplaza.com  

versehgi said: I'm experiencing the same problem. I bought the game on Steam and can't play it because the mouse cursor and its real position are not aligned. Even if I use the notebook screen, not a 4K monitor, this problem persists

Please start a new thread rather than reopening an old one, thanks - the game has changed a lot in 2 years! Supply there detailed system information and problem history, thanks.  

Is this compared to 1.31.x ? Or 1.30.x or earlier?

Because 1.32 ought to be somewhat faster than 1.31.x but is probably still slower than 1.30.x (due to them adding too many new provinces in 1.31).  

In the game launcher please set Display mode to Borderless. THEN go here:

Well Windows is Maybe someone else using the same machine is seeing it?

Anyway you may as well apply the new hotfix, see if that helps

If eu4.exe runs okay the problem is with the launcher not running it with enough permissions, most likey. That is usually an antivirus app getting in the way of those files being copied from the Steam folders to that /mod/ folder, or a file permissions issue.



What antivirus app do you use? You need to make sure all these apps are in its exceptions lists:



eu4.exe and dowser.exe (in the Steam EU4 folder)

C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2021.9/paradox launcher.exe

C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/bootstrapper-v2.exe



IF that does not help, also set all those .exe files (EXCEPT eu4.exe!) to run as the Windows Admin user.  

I see crashes in our launcher in that dxdiag but no mention of this game. Does the launcher appear to work okay, what version shows?

And what happens when you run eu4.exe directly? Any Windows error show up?  

Unlike Steam, Epic do not provide any facility to host old or alternate game versions. Sorry about that!  

ImperatorG said: I thought it was temps too but I checked them at they are normal 60 under load and 40 with no load.

That is true of both CPU and GPU temps?

That dxdiag shows several LiveKernelEvents, which happen when the machine is forced down or rebooted - are you seeing that happen? If so is it related to these games or something else?  

Radast said: I used to be able to run EU4 from eu4.exe without any problems. So this patch changed something that dlc content is not visible now when running from exe.

Actually that occurred in the previous patches 1.31.x . I have not yet determined if that is deliberate or not.

If you don't see our launcher at all that's a different issue entirely. What exactly do you see when you hit PLAY in Steam?
Please try this:

- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.
