Extreme lag and purple line on the left and upper sides of the screen.

I have had this game for quite a long time now and the game has always worked fine until recently.
So a day ago I decided to reset my PC because I had a bunch of shit on it and didn't wanna go through it and uninstall everything but now that I install eu4 again it gives me a message when opening the game saying
"the graphics card detected does not have 512 MB of video memory"
I close the message and the game starts fine till I get to the main menu in which I experience massive amounts of lag to the point that it takes 5 min to be able to click the "single player" button.
And also to point out ingame and in the main menu I have this weird purple outline going from the lower left corner to the upper right corner.

The game is literally unplayable right now and I would be really happy if any1 knows a solution to this problem.
Btw i have already tried reinstalling it.

Have you tried any other games?

That sounds more like a problem with your graphics card or drivers than with EU4.

You did remember to re-install your GPU drivers.. right?

Or you are running on the internal GPU on the motherboard rather than the GPU card.

I'm so dumb, I forgot my drivers...... Thanks for reminding me....

Haha be thankful it's only that and not something major, we all get those moments sometimes! No problem
