Issues fixed

DirectX Issue

Problems with the game crashing, with an error in d3dx9_35.dll or d3dx9_41.dll may be caused by missing DirectX 9 components. Installing DirectX 9.0c from Microsoft may correct this problem. Install the DirectX End-User Runtimes.

Required Software

Along with DirectX 9.0c, Europa Universalis requires additional Microsoft software to run on Windows. These may already be installed on your computer, however if you are having problems, reinstalling them may help.

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
  • The latest version of .NET Framework

Tutorial Crashing

The Europa Universalis Complete edition contains a tutorial mode that does not function, and Paradox has advised players not to use it. Beginning with the second tutorial, the game may crash when the tutorial is activated. Renaming or deleting the game's music folder may prevent the crash, at the expense of the music.

Crash when viewing ledger

This occurs when playing DLC Heir to the Throne. It is fixed in Divine Wind, or in one of the released beta patches.

Downloading the beta patch requires you to register your game with Paradox Plaza.

Music Issues

If the music doesn't play, installing k-lite codec pack may correct this.
