It is described correctly in the first post of this very thread.  

Oh, right, sorry. No, it's not. There's no standard option to stop that, no. You might ask in User Mods whether they can think of a way.  

You can disable all tooltips by editing documents.paradox.eu4.settings.txt . Not just that one though.  

DLC names and numbers

DLCs reside in the program files area (this is under Steam/SteamApps/Common/Europa Universalis IV/DLC/) as two files for each DLC; dlc001.zip and dlc001.dlc . The .zip file contains the actual data, images or songs; the .dlc file is a simple text file that can be read with Notepad or Textapp and contains the title of the DLC as below.

001 100 Years War Unit Pack
002 Horsemen of the Crescent Unit Pack
003 Winged Hussars Unit Pack
004 Star and Cresent

This is a modified copy of the sticky thread with a similar title from CK2. Please point out any errors or additions below.


File Locations on Windows
The default location for the executables (eu4.exe and eu4_launch.exe and DLCs) is in C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Europa Universalis IV/ .

The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in C:\Users\USER\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\


File Locations on Mac OS X
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Europa Universalis IV/

On OS X 10.8.x and later, Apple have hidden the /Users/USER/Library/ folder. To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .

The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interac... Read more

Thanks for the update, I've put it in the Known Problems thread. Please report this to Comodo as a clear bug.  

My apologies, too many threads! I meant to go into EU4's setup.log , search for "checksum", and paste that line only in here.

Go to MyDocuments EU4 and delete settings.txt and /gfx/ , and let the game recreate them.

If that doesn't help, Try a full clean reinstall: move any valued save games elsewhere and uninstall the game from within Steam. Then manually delete ALL the EU4 directories from under BOTH the Steam and MyDocuments folders. Now reinstall the game from Steam, and run the Verify just to make sure it all came down properly.  

What version and checksum show on the main game menu?

Are you using any mods?

Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU) 1/ before starting the game up and 2/ after say 20 minutes' play. If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install SPEEDFAN or GPU-Z.
