tried restarting both steam and computer. nothing changed.

Have you tried Verify Integrity of Game Cache?

If that doesn't work and you can run other games fine then I suggest you register EU4 and post in the tech support sub-forum.

Could you try renaming/moving your EU4 user directory and see if anything changes?

If still stuck, please post new thread in tech support sub forum as your issue will get handled there. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/euiv-technical-support.812/

Delete the ...\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV folder on your computer before starting the game. You must backup any save files you have in there first though. Also verify the integrity of the game cache (right click game in steam, properties, local files)

The purge of the documents folder made me able to see the game again, but as soon as i set the game to my 1769 x 992 resolution it stopped working again, so i found the problem.
