![]() Hoping to make you smile even though I'm ranting. This is a useless feature and you should not be surprised that this causes security issues.Įxcuse my french, consider me part of an angry mob. What part of EU4 requires ransomware'ish code? Closing steam on every crash? I also noticed the game and even the launcher are moving my mouse to fixed points sometimes. The part about windows defender confuses me. These crashes remind me of the 90s, I'm almost surprised I haven't seen a bluescreen yet. The game seems to use a lot of resources and has occasional sound stutters for me, which is odd, because it shouldn't. I never gave you permission to close my steam.Īs much as I like it, there are some things that seem shady about this game. It was loading for 3 minutes, then the screen turned black for 10 seconds, my game crashed and also steam closed alongside EU4. I just tried doing the full reinstall, it looked promising, because I was able to start a new game, but I still can't reload my save file. Resource monitor after the crashes showed rather normal graphics card temperature (61°) and RAM usage. I never tried starting a new game, because I really wanted to continue where it crashed. All it said was high RAM usage, 86% of RAM used.īeing the madman that I am, I tried again because I really wanted to see the resource monitor, but I couldn't get into task manager that time and called it a night. I tried again, this time managed to get task manager running after the crash, but it didn't show ANY processes that I could terminate or tabs. ![]() ![]() Every other game lets me terminate the process.īut I didn't give up that easily. I restarted my PC, verified files (success), tried again, However this time, my screen turned black, I had a "device removed" sound and I had to hard reset my PC. I included a save file so you can do some research on this issue, since it seems to be related from what I can tell. So my bet is, that is has to do something with 2 generals being attached to each other and/or "too many" units, attached in "the wrong way" in a fleet. Also steam closed, which is not supposed to happen.įirst thing I looked for was graphics drivers (outdated 18d), I got a new update and tried relaunching the game, it worked for less than a minute, I looked around, clicked some diplomacy windows and sent some spies, that worked, but then I tried moving the fleet again, and it crashed again. I tried moving the ships, then it crashed with that exact shader error, which I though was very odd. The goal was one big stack with no lose ships that could get lost. I was cycling through the next and previous units to find all the ships I wanted to attach, and maybe clicked to fast and didn't pay attention when attaching and unattaching things. I was playing as ironman ottomans until 1522, about to finish war preparation vs venice, just attaching a fleet of 60 ships of all types except barques, with 2 generals into one stack with one general as leader. Really got hooked with the game and I like it a lot. I just started playing like a week ago without issues. The same thing happened to me almost at the same time! around 3:30 AM. įirst of all, sorry if this post might be a bit long, but I'd like to describe what happened in detail and try to get to the bottom of the issue. įrom your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/logs/ folder, attach here system.log, error.log. Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.ĭXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. start the game with no mods active and test 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. re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done. manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4 folders
