Stuck at splash screen??

[DanTheMan97]

Hello forums! i was wondering if i could get some help with a problem.
Today i tried starting DeI multiple times (note i tried both the steam AND TWC versions, i deleted the TWC one and have the Steam one now)
(I also run a few of the official submods) and it always gets stuck at the splash screen forever with the spinning circle for a cursor.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue

Either you have an outdated sub mob, a mod conflict, or a bad install. I would try to re download a fresh DEI. Does your base Rome 2 game work? CA's latest patch caused some corruptions in my Registry.

Sounds to me like you have a mod conflict. Whenever I experience this it is due to a mod conflicting.
Try to go to your data folder and delete all mods and then reinstall DeI using the standalone version and see if that helps.
If not you might need to verify your game files and ultimately reinstall the game. But that should ofc be a last resort.
Try looking for mods hiding in your data folder first, delete, reinstall DeI standalone and try again.
Btw. Bugs like this should be posted in the bugs thread so that we dont end up having too many new threads like this.
