Game not starting.

[cel20]

Hello,


the game has worked, but if I now start the game throug Steam -> Launcher -> start game, around 3/4 of the times launched, the error:

appears. The other times, it just exits out with no error.
If I try to launch the game with eu4.exe or eu4_profiling.exe, it also just exits out.
The first loading screen appears for around 3 sec. with no musik played.

Also, error.log, error_old.log and error_old_old.log are empty.

I have tried mutiple things recommended in this situation, for example instralling VCRed. and DOTNET, deleting the eu4 Folder, adding eu4 etc to the exeption list on my AV (I use the normal Win-Defender), etc, but nothing helped, for this reason, I am writing this post.


Thanks in advance for any help.

The game is crashing in a device driver:

+++ WER1 +++:
Fehlerbucket 1592478914525829630, Typ 4
Ereignisname: APPCRASH
Antwort: Nicht verfügbar
CAB-Datei-ID: 0

Problemsignatur:
P1: eu4.exe
P2: 1.0.0.0
P3: 636b72c9
P4: EZFRD64.dll_unloaded

Which runs this device:

Device Name: DRIFT O.Z.
FF Driver: C:\Windows\USB_Vibration\3352\EZFRD64.dll
FF Driver Date: 2/24/2022 12:39:00

This is the first case I've seen of this with a recent driver for one of that kind of device. In any case, unplug that device before starting the game. If that helps, you should contact that vendor for an updated driver.
