EU4 Game Pass for PC failed to launch

[OAnnihilatesU]

Hello

It seems I am unable to launch EU4 on Game Pass for PC, as it keeps giving me the message; "Launching the game failed" when I hover my mouse over the symbol that appears next to the play button in the launcher after attempting to launch the game.

Any help would be appreciated.

Has the game ever worked on this machine? Or never yet?

In the game launcher please set Display mode to Borderless. THEN go here:

Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads

This article lists the download links for the latest versions of Visual C++ Redistributable packages.

support.microsoft.com

And run the x86 and x64 installers there.

IF that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .
