Me too!

Tried to fully reinstall

The game says it's only downloading 664mb! But then report 1000+ when verifying cache.

hmmmmmm

For me this feature seems to be a sneaky conspiration of steam and a certain feature in EU4:
GoTo: C:\Users\Bruger\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV
open settings.txt in your favourite text editor
Make sure that the force_pow2_textures= is set to no as in
force_pow2_textures=no

I have been able to recreate the problem and fix it again in this way. Also this is not a problem in EU 4 offline.

Does this affect Ironman at all?

FYI for anyone else. I was able to get it to work by deleting all my files in C:\Users\username\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV. Including the save game folder. You can back it up I think but I just deleted them. Now it works. Woohoo. Off to play and stream. Thanks for the help radiatoren.

I'm having a similar issue where it crashes after it starts "Loading Events." I've gone through all of the posts that have been recording similar issues, tried all the solutions to no avail, and it ultimately seems like its a problem that just needs a hotfix, either from steam downloading all the files, or from paradox towards AoW itself, considering it was the AoW patch that started it. Hopefully we'll get some communication from either source soon stating they know that there's a problem, and that they are working on it.

I deleted the documents, game still crashing, T_T.

Edit: Tried again, now everything is working perfectly. The game is no longer sluggish, and runs as fast as before :).
