I've purchased today EUIV and have difficulties with running it. After using steam launcher I see only black screen which turns into pink shapes and nothing else happens (however I hear music). Attaching screen , DxDiag log and EU error log. Are you able to help me?

Go into the Windows Startup options and disable everything you can there, then reboot.

If it still happens then I can't think of anything else to look at!

I will get back to you on this one in a day or two.

Would it be possible that this is a conflict between EU4 and Ryzen 5600 & RTX30XX combination? I found a thread on reddit with 2 persons having the same problem. One of them stated they have Ryzen 5 5600X & RTX3080. I would post a link however I am not sure what is the policy on that here.

Do you think going nuclear and reinstalling Windows might help?
 
Yes I do! A lot to contemplate to get a game going, I know, but if you were considering that step for other reasons too ...
 
Unfortunately I am facing this issue rn. The game ran perfectly fine before it got rebooted. What to do?
Did you read through this whole thread? Various things in it have helped some people!
