    I’m not good with computers and Europa Universalis V refuses to even launch, not giving me an error code, a crash report, or even anything. It launches, then immediately goes from stop on the play button to play again. Nothing else between. I was gifted the game.

    For the past two days, I have been struggling for answers. Graphical drivers are updated. Windows is updated. BIOS shouldn’t be a concern as I do not have a struggle playing any other single Paradox game or any game for that manner. I have decent specs and others with the same specs are able to play the game. I have attempted different launch options of -dx11 -dx12. I’m convinced rituals of incense and prayers would be more helpful than any of the suggestions from the developers or people on some of the forums.

    It’s a shame, really was looking forward to it.

      What are your specs? EU5 has crazy high requirements. I think you need like at least 32GB RAM

        32gb, 3050, later i7 series. Should be good, no? I’m not amazing with hardware stuff just using system info, most of my PC stuff was gifted or scavenged

          if my i7 is like a single gen below and it refuses to launch whatsoever w/ no error/crash report, that is crazy.

            yeah, that does suck, i wonder why the requirements are so high
            i get that the map painting games are pretty cpu heavy but surely it shouldn’t be that much more than the previous games

              Even then, what the hell happened to just being able to run the game with some chop/jank? Most of my early PC history was using scavenged machine shop computers (rust-belt) or thrown out college computers to play games and even if they were poor requirements it’d still run just run like shit.
