Search results for query: running EU4 without Steam

Edit: the problem turned out to be that upon setting up my new PC I deleted the "C:\User\Documents" folder since I never use it. Turns out Paradox Launcher needs it and does not created it on its own. Problem was solved by manually creating a folder called "Documents". Hello, Context: new...

Same thing is happening to me. When I reinstall the launcher, it works fine once and then I will again get the "Steam runtime communication error". I have tried everything that I found here. I even reinstalled steam itself and then installed EU4 again. There is same error in launcher log...

I don't regard it as malice, a mistake, or a mishap. They have to put out a product. They have to meet their deadlines. They seem to be getting stretched thin resource-wise, as a lot of the most recent criticisms of expansions/games say Paradox is releasing expansions/games with serious...

Does Victoria 3 even use any DRM? Usually Paradox games, even the steam version didn't use any DRMs, and you could just copy the downloaded steam game files and start the .exe without any steam running. You are just losing out on upcoming updates and easy mod support, and there were some weird...

hello, last 2-3 months (cant even remember anymore) i cant start the game. i open steam, choose europa, press the play button , i choose either one of the 3 choices (the button changes for a moment to "x stop" and then resets to >play, without launching paradox launcher. i deleted steam and...

One thing which you could try would be to create the file steam_appid.txt in the eu4 installation folder and put "236850" in that file(without quotes). Then you can try to start eu4.exe while steam is running in the background. I think this fixes the error message which you get. It still...

Truly bizarre, latest steam update still causes the issue, and it still works perfectly when steam is closed and eu4 is launched directly from the executable. I would obviously reinstall steam at this point - however before I do so would you like me to collect any data, in case there is some...

Hello, I have a save file that, upon loading and unpausing, freezes with every daily tick. If I load the Rev. France timestamp (where a similarly sized war is occuring) this does not cause the issue. Perhaps this save will be useful for AI optimization. Things I have tried to remediate the...

Hello. I just bought Victoria 3 but I cannot play it :( it melts my GPU, running constantly at 100% even if I zoom out and pause the game. With my GPU I play other more demanding games fine, also all other paradox games I have (HoI4, EU4, CK3, Stellaris) all running good. I did a search on the...

I'm not sure about HOI4, but at least in EU4 attacking a nation who is guaranteed by someone you are allied with in another war bypasses the guarantee. So if this was a different game, you could attack the Czechs here without any French involvement. I see some gaps in the Italian line. Is this...

Since the latest major release 1.34, I have issues starting the game on my machine. I open the launcher from Steam running with these flags --no-sandbox --disable-gpu "$@", so I can see the launcher. When I click on Play, the launcher disappears, music starts playing in the back and a crash r e...

Describe your issue City skylines fails to launch What is your game version? 1.15.0-f5 What expansions do you have installed? After Dark, Mass Transit, Green Cities, Industries, Campus, Sunset Harbor What mods are you using? none Please explain your issue is in as much detail as...

What antivirus app do you use? Make sure the new eu4.exe is in all its exceptions lists. Just the standard Windows Security/Defender that comes with windows. What happens if you unload GeForce Experience entirely before starting the game? Stutter gone even if launched from Steam. And what...

I've been having launch errors for maybe about a month, when I click Play on the launcher the game opens up for a moment then crashes and gives the following error: I normally play with mods(graphical-UI mods) but this issue persists when I try to launch without mods too. The game used to launch...

This problem has not been solved, but I have found a workaround: (Use Steam-Proton to run the Windows version instead), If you are experiencing the same problem on Arch Linux, or any other not officially supported distro see my post below. Original problem ========== The Linux version of CK3...

I think a more intricate system where technologies can be rediscovered, forgotten, or invented would go a long way to replicate this. It's not like people actually forgot how to use Roman technologies (some were forgotten like Greek Fire and their recipe for cement, but they were few), but...

Yeah but keep in mind that EU has always been #1 Paradox flagship brand (in fact wasnt EU1 the first game Johan(peace be upon him) ever made?). CK started as a side project (similar to Stellaris) and with CK2 it took off and went into stratosphere (now i would even argue that CK is right there...

I didn't mention CK2, because I wanted to know if there is a more widespread graphical issue which also affects games which are different from eu4. In that case, you could try ck2 to see if that one works. If ck2 also works, the issue is specific to eu4 in some way. In that case, maybe the eu4...

No, I have a desktop computer with a GTX 1060. I just added the "nogpu" command as a lancher option, and I did that for CK3 to fix the black launcher screen. In that case I could launch CK3 normally through the launcher and ir runs fine. I also just tried running Pathfinder: Wrath of the...

Spiritualist Ethos gives currently -X% edict cost -> this should probably be -X% edict upkeep cost. Please dont lock the planetary ascension tiers behind perks, lock them behind unlocked tradition trees instead. By locking the last 4 levels behind the last ascension perk, you locked the unity...
