Direct Download

If you are having crashes on startup with the direct download version, do the following:


 * 1) Using the Steam client, make sure that you disable any betas or previous versions in the beta tab for EUIV
 * 2) Using the Steam client, verify the integrity of your local game cache in the local files tab
 * 3) Once Steam complets the cache check, quit Steam
 * 4) Move ALL save game files from Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/save games to a temporary folder
 * 5) Remove the veritas folder and veritas.mod file from Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/mod
 * 6) Extract the files from the Mega download and put the veritas folder and veritas.mod file into the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/mod folder
 * 7) Download the hot fix files - use 'ALT-Click' on Windows or 'Option-Click' on Mac to force the file to download
 * 8) Copy the hot fix files as directed in the post, being absolutely sure to remove the file you are instructed to remove
 * 9) Start Steam and launch EUIV
 * 10) Deselect ALL mods except for VeF and start the game.
