Thanks for Letting us Use Steam

[marshman]

Now Eu4 and Crusader Kings both cannot be played. Tried everything including "steam community overlay"

I launch them and they hang. Then I force close and retry.

At least with the old service where I bought these games originally- I could PLAY MY GAMES I BOUGHT

I've never seen a company have us buy from one source then make us use some new one.

Disabling the Steam Community Overlay is only necessary on Mac - is that your platform?

If however you're on Windows Please try installing:

First: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

After that: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328

Then: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
(If that doesn't do anything then http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 )

Then: visit the Windows Update site and allow it to apply all .NET updates/patches it wants to, for all .NET versions.

If that doesn't help, Please post a dxdiag.txt (you can delete everything after the end of the "Sound devices" section for brevity) and your Documents/EU4/settings.txt. Zip up your whole Documents/EU4/logs/ directory and attach or link that here too please.
