Instant crash when game loads in

[chazzerboy]

Never had this problem up to now. I can start up fine, choose a country and begin but as soon as the map loads in, the game crashes. I have done the usual stuff, verify files and reinstall but still nothing works.
I did upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 today with a clean brand new install but I don't know how that could affect things?

Any help would be appreciated

Does it help if you disable all mods? If you think that you have no mods, look in the playset section of the launcher to make sure, because they might have been installed and activated without your knowledge. That's pretty common on a fresh install.

IF it is not a mod problem, Right click on eu4.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.

Edit that settings.txt to say:

refreshRate=60
fullScreen=yes
borderless=no

vsync=no

Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode.


IF that doesn't help:
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.
