Europa Universalis IV Dev Tracker

Have you moved your Windows User Documents folder somewhere else perhaps?

Please try this:

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

Delete the following folders if still present:
- C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users//AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users//AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/

- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run EU4 from the Steam PLAY button

I hope that works for you!

No this is an unrelated issue on WIndows, due to your antivirus app getting in the way; 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.  

Wilhelm_Sun said: Thanks! Will try and see whether it works. Odd that before 1.29 things were doing reasonably well....

The game and its patches are not tested on unsupported hardware, of course. So essentially it was luck that it ran okay before 1.29; clearly there is some change in 1.29 that triggered this problem (on Macs only BTW).

Sorry that happened to you! But at least you know where you stand now.  

Wilhelm_Sun said: 1. Is there anything I can do to run the game smoothly on my current computer on MacOS?

There's a mod linked in that thread which will help. We don't' yet know if the devs will fix it, as noted Intel video systems are not supported hardware for this game.  

Liwei said: What is 10.15.1? Is it an updated version of the launcher? How do I see if it's available?

No, it's a MacOS version update.

Anyway glad you got there!  

As I say we have had resolution issues under 10.15 ; and I have seen that in the past throw off the registration between apparent and actual cursor position in our games, especially EU4 in fact. That said this is the first time I've seen it in the launcher I think.

I assume the Enter or ESC keys don't work either?

If 10.15.1 is available to you maybe apply that and see if it helps.  

Please reduce the game's resolution step by step until this goes away. In EU4 you should do this in the launcher, which will update pdx_settings.txt

I have hopes this will be fixed in 10.15.1 , if not our devs will have to look into it further.  

FYI Ubuntu is the only supported distro for our games.

JacobM33 said: The game works fine when at 4k, although the UI is too small to read

Did you try using the gui_scale= adjustment in settings.txt ?

I can't see what driver version you have, but this is the latest:

Most likely this is a resolution issue, we are seeing some issues like that with 10.15 . try reducing the game resolution step by step until it works for you.

Sorry about that!

Hi guys!

The transition to our new launcher has introduced some inconveniences unfortunately. We believe the new launcher will enable us to provide you with a better service going forward.

There are some bumps in the road however. If you are experiencing problems with mods after 1.29 - please check out this thread!

Our apologies for any inconvenience caused!
