Question

[gb555]

was there an update at some stage this week that i missed? euiv is sooooooo slow! like virtually unplayable. at the highest speed easy day takes like 30 seconds to get through... its not my computer, never been an issue before and can run most games, i cleaned out the dust recently too. its worth noting i can still play skyrim and warhammer total war without issue, i have similar issues with ck2 and 3.never been an issue before. I attached my settings and system log for reference.

my specs are:
Asus.
16GB of RAM
Intel i7Core processor at 3.6GHz
64 bit operating system
Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 graphics card
Windows 8

I have legit done everything you could think of, and have wiped the game completely to scratch and vanilla with same issue.

This game has not been updated for several months, no.


Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox/EU4 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.

Also if you have installed RivaTuner, RadeonPro, or a gaming VPN app called Evolve, or the MSI Gaming App, or Duet, disable it as it clashes with this game.


IF NEITHER OF THOSE HELP:
DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/EU4/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/EU4/logs/ folder, attach error.log .

Howdy, I tried your suggestions but to no avail. Same issues I am afraid.

I have attached the files as requested.

The errors in that log look like either a bad installation or mod problems. Did you definitely make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again?

I see a few problems with the Windows update process at the end of that dxdiag. I have see the problem you mention being caused by Windows updates that don't apply, and Windows keeps trying over and over. Are you aware of any issue in that area? What happens if you run the Windows Updater app, does it find anything to apply? If so do that, and reboot please.

110% I wiped all the extra mod files. I deleted everything with the game title in any location I could. Complete wipe.

I wasn't aware of that issue. Thank you. I will have a look and see what the computer does! Thanks for your help.

I can't get into eu4 cause of this error. I was able to get in before but now it won't let me. I've also downloaded shader 3.0 to no avail. Please help?

This problem is unrelated to the one discussed in this thread. Please make your own new thread, and supply full problem details and history there. Thanks.
