[Mac] game stalls on launcher

[cchiu23]

Hi, when I try to start the game on my mac, the application stops responding immediately for no reason and I have to force quit, help?


edit: and no, the uncheck overlay fix is not working for me

This is also a problem for me as well. The icon just hops at the bottom of the screen for forever, but will not actually start up.

Works fine on my iMac FYI.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox/EU4 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.

**File Locations on Mac OS X**
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Europa Universalis IV/
On OS X 10.8.x and later, Apple have hidden the /Users/USER/Library/ folder. To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .
The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/ .

If it helps anyone, I found that deleting the gfx folder in SteamApps/common/CK2 and then verifying game files fixed it.
