Hi. I'm sorry for making an account JUST for this problem/bug, but I hope someone can help. I have gotten EUIV on steam a few days ago. It was all fine, I did the tutorial. I accidentally abused Spain in the tutorial with the -90% attrition, you know, normal stuff. So I decided to try out Qing, as I've always wanted to conquer East Asia as China in this game. I beat up Tibet and the Ming remnant, annexed Korea and Zhou, I had fun. Then during a big war with one of the hordes (where I learned that even 45k troops will lose to 10k horde cavalry) I suddenly couldn't click. Thank goodness it happened while the game was paused. So, I realized that I had to click the mouse dozens of times before it would register "Oh! Hey! This guy has his cursor over the button!". Because if it knew the cursor was over the button, it would work on the first click. But I just want to know why this is happening. After finally clicking at least a hundred times to exit the game, I thought I'd restart it. It didn't help. I've tried using only the trackpad, uninstalling the game (which got rid of my Qing save file :( ), backing it up, I really don't know.

So any help would be very much appreciated.

(BTW, I am on a mac, and I haven;t had this problem with any game or website before.)

Not a known problem with the game, on Mac or any other platform. What exact Mac, OS X and video card do you have?

Please try a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local files" in Steam
- manually delete all files and folders left under Steam/EU4 AND Documents/EU4
- re-install game in Steam, run a verify when done.

File Locations on Mac OS X
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Europa Universalis IV/

On OS X 10.8.x Apple have hidden the /Users/USER/Library/ folder. To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .

The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/ .

Okay, I tried, I've deleted content, I've saved the files but deleted them. I tries to reinstall, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! Argh! Please, explain more how to do a complete re-install, because the download meter won't change!
