Hi

My problem is that my launcher won’t work anymore. This problem occurred while I was trying to solve my original problem of me being stuck at the EU4 title screen. I found a fix for getting past the title screen, so there's only the launcher problem now.

I have tried the following things:
  • Starting the game in all different display modes
  • A clean re-install
  • Verifying the files
  • Deleted and re-installed visual c ++ x64 and x86
  • Added EU4 to the anti-virus exception list
  • Re-installing the launcher
  • Running steam, eu4 and the launcher as administrator
  • Tested different guides on the internet
I also have a picture of the current problem error message and provided the file with it.

Please try this:

- 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/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

Note that you can run eu4.exe directly from File Explorer, which bypasses the launcher.
