Hello,

I've recently started having this visual bug rendering the game unplayable. Screenshot and DXdiag attached. I've reinstalled microsoft framework and the game itself.

Try to 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) and if that doesn't help, you can try to verify the integrity of game files. Does that help?
 
The checksum in that screenshot is the correct unmodded one, so I don't think that's the problem.

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

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Europa Universalis IV AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- 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.

Fixed. I had recently removed onedrive from my computer and I think it was playing havoc with my documents folder. Thanks.
