Started getting this after I re-installed EU4. The first time I launched the game through Steam everything went fine and I proceeded through the launcher as normal, but now it's giving me this error. I can launch the game normally through eu4.exe
Running it now gives the following error:Have you moved your Windows User Documents folder somewhere else perhaps?
Please try this:
- exit the Steam app completely
- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.
Delete the following folders if still present:
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run EU4 from the Steam PLAY button
I hope that works for you!

Nope, it's still in C:. EU4 (and presumably the Launcher) is uninstalled in D: however, could that be the root of the problem?Have you moved your Windows User Documents folder somewhere else perhaps? The launcher can have problems if it's been moved to, say D: or whatever.
