If you run eu4.exe directly from file explorer, do you see Windows error 0xC0150004 ? If so that seems to indicate a Windows problem. Please try this repair tool

Cassilda said: Running the game in full screen for now hasn't caused any freezing.

When not playing, the CPU is 32-53 °C min and 49-53°C max and the GPU 46-50 °C.
After running the game for half an hour, the temperatures is for the CPU 35-37 °C min to 47-66 °C max. The GPU is 49-51 °C.
Okay, it may be it was overheating before. I hope that fixes it for good for you!

eddyr said: Sorry to piggyback, but I, like the OP, have a beefy PC and have been experiencing similar issues. The game becomes unplayable 1550+. Speed 4 and above and the fps is horrible. I, like the OP, have no issues with ck3, although there was a bug depending on whether I launched the game from steam or directly the game would stutter and have low framerate. I don't know if OP tried 1.30 because I had better performance pre-leviathan, but I know that's not a solution as the game has developed so much since then. I wonder whether it's the ageing game or an issue that is yet to surface. ...

Right click on eu4.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.

Edit that settings.txt to say:

refreshRate=60
fullScreen=yes
borderless=no

vsync=no

Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode.


Does that help? If not, Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)
1/ before starting the game up and
2/ after say 30 minutes' play.
If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install

DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

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

Is this in a save left over from a previous patch, or a new one under this patch, or both?

Is it that you have to force a reboot to get going again, or how do you have to do that?

What happens if you run eu4.exe directly from File Explorer? If it still fails you should get a more clear Windows error.

Installing any EU4 content or mod cannot have caused this to the launcher, as it is a separate app . Nor could deleting EU4 have fixed it as it resides in a different place.


For the launcher problem Please try this:

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

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user

- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/l... Read more

The 1638 errors there mean there are still remnants of the launcher installed.

You can use this MS tool to clear the stuck install/uninstall:
