EU4 crashes on startup, i've run out of ideas.

Hi there!

I've got a problem recently. I tried to play with EU4 and from one day to another, i've got this: crashing during the startup screen.

What i have tried so far:
- running in borderless fullscreen mode from the launcher
- running as administrator both eu4.exe and dowser.exe
- deleting the Europa Universalis 4 folder in my Documents/Paradox Interactive folder
- verifying game integrity in Steam
- reinstalling the game completely
- updating my GPU driver
- restarting my computer countless times
- I've added the Europa Universalis installation folder as an exception both in my Windows Firewall and anti-virus program.
- deleted and pressed unsubsrcibe for all my mods
- tried to launch the game directly with the eu4.exe in the Steam library, it launched the game, but i think its massively corrupt, because all the nation flags were black.

I've run out of ideas :/ I attached all the documents and a print screen i thought could be useful.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards!

Sorry, I guess I'm not understanding something. If it crashes during startup, how do you get to the screenshot in that second post?

That error.log file is not from the game.

I see you are running the game in openGL mode - that is slower and less reliable, and should only be used for diagnosis of video driver/card problems. If you remove that launch option does the game run better?

i wasn't be able to run the game through the launcher, only by the eu4.exe in the main folder, but that way it produced black flags everywhere. But now i removed that opengl mode, now it runs perfectly. I don't even know why it was added to the launch parameters, but its good now. Thank you
