For me the game starts out really fast and smooth but slows down pretty rapidly. But overall I think this runs better than EU3 did when it came out.
My computer cannot run the EU IV

Most likely an out-of-memory problem.
- Make sure you have at least 2GB RAM-memory and a video card of 512 mb Memory
- You can also go to My Documents/EU4/settings.txt and decrease the settings, that might just be enough to get it under your memory limit.
- If you are sure you have a good computer, you could try right-clicking on the demo in Steam, Properties, then Check Integrity. This will make sure there are no badly installed files.
- Finally, make sure you have the latest drivers, specifically for your Graphics card.
Thanks for the advice! Have 4gb RAM and 8800GT so it fits the system requirements. Integrity checks as good. Still run-time error as soon as I hit "loading flags". What settings should I look to alter?
Currently they say:
refreshRate=60
fullScreen=yes
shadows=no
shadowSize=2048
multi_sampling=4
anisotropic_filtering=0
gamma=50.000000

Attempt shadowSize=1024 and multi_sampling=1
Other than that I really don't know (I don't think this'll fix it, as your computer seems to be good enough)
Didn't work 
Thanks for the advice though. Guess I'll have to (selfishly) hope this is a problem affecting a few people and something that gets fixed rather than some strange problem with my computer!

Only other thing you could do is to update drivers where applicable, but that's all I can offer..
Haha :rofl:
I wish it were like that, but to properly play the demo I have to wait few more hours... stupid Lucretius...
Drivers don't help, still a run-time error as soon as I hit loading flags. My computer runs CK2 perfectly, guess I'll wait till the full game is released and see if it works.
If you've tried all the things I've written a dozen posts up, I'm afraid not.
I'm not sure how I managed to run EUIV with just integrated graphics when people with much shinier rigs are having problems, but yay me!
Post your system.logs and settings.txt. Do it just say run time error or is it more info?
Run Dxdiag and post the first part. Post settings.txt and system.logs.
Uninstalled and deleted everything about it from Documents. The reinstall works fine so far! Guess I had a bad install, happy now
Mines being weird, not much of a computer whizz so was wondering if someone could help. Can run CK2 fine, if a bit slow at times. Downloaded the demo today and this happens when I enter into the game:

Since people have asked other users to post there dxdiag results, here are mine;

The weird thing is if I zoom out I can see east of turkey absolutely fine with no fog of war for some bizzare reason.

I manualy lowered all graphics settings and the resolution to 1024 x 768 and the demo still does not work. It always crashes when the loading process is completed. I can play CK 2 and March of the Eagles perfectly (resolution 1280x1024). CK2 has the same official requirements as the EU IV. I´m posting my diaxdiag and settings.txt along with the screenshot of the error message (It´s in Czech but you certainly know this error message).
