When I try to start the game I Get the following error:
1684072192564.png


I tried to start the game both from steam and standalone from the launcher, also unistalled it multiple times.

I also tried the following steps recommended by chatgpt:


  1. Remove game-specific files created by the launcher. For Crusader Kings III, you will need to delete the following files or folders, if they exist, from the game’s data directory:
    • .launcher-cache
    • content_load.json or dlc_load.json (depending on game)
    • game_data.json
    • mods_registry.json (optionally, also delete the mods folder)
    • newsfeed
  2. Uninstall the launcher and remove its settings files. On Windows:
    • Go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall “Paradox Launcher v2”
    • Exit the Steam app entirely
    • Delete the following files or folders, if they still exist:
      1. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Paradox Interactive\launcher-v2
      2. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Paradox Interactive\launcherpath (should be gone)
      3. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Paradox Interactive\launcher-v2 (should only contain logs)
  3. Launch the game (on Windows, run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user first)



    I'm also attaching the logs.​
What I see in tehere is the following:

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



If you get anything else let me know here, and:
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 .
