My friend got this game yesterday and was having similar issues to the ones I'm seeing posted in this forum over the past week or so. He was using AVAST, which he has deleted, and we have done the "clean install" procedure I've seen one of the devs post. He is able to launch the game by going into his directory and manually running the .exe, but his launcher consistently says "Launching the game failed". Any ideas as to what could be causing this would be greatly appreciated. I'll attach any files needed upon request.

Is he sure that AVAST Antivirus is fully deleted. I have Avast aswell and tried multiple times to get rid of it but couldn't.
If he still has Avast then let him check the quarentine section. In my case avast blocked a part of stellaris which is why I couldn't start stellaris.
If he doesn't have Avast anymore then let him check the Windows Firewall as windows itself might have blocked something.
In both cases he need to put the stellaris files as a exeption. That helped for me and my game and launcher runs now smooth without any problems.
Hope this helps your friend
