i bought Europa Universalis 4 yesterday on the epic games store and i downloaded the Paradox Launcher v2 but the game would'nt open. It would just running and then go back to saying launch. So i uninstalled EU4 and reinstalled it twice and it still would'nt run. so i deleted the launcher and i tried to reinstall it and it keeps saying that i already have a version of the launcher installed. does anyone know the solution to these two problems?
 
Please try this:

- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Epic app entirely
- run EpicGamesLauncher.exe as the Windows Admin user

- run the game from the Epic client

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

Note that you can run eu4.exe directly from File Explorer, which bypasses the launcher.
