So earlier today i was playing some EU4 and might have alt F4 for having incredibly bad luck with rng. Now everytime I open the launcher and press play, I get sent to the eu4 title-screen like normal, but now i'm stuck there. I've spent some time trying to fix it. Looked at similar problems and tried what i found. I have switched between all possible window modes, i've downloadeded the c++ library files and i have reinstalled the game completely and removed all the save files but nothing worked.I own it throught epic games if that gives any insight.
