3.0 Crash on Launch

Game Version
3.0

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have all DLC, and just got Holy Fury. When I click play, and then launch, it shows me the first frame of the loading screen and immediately becomes non responsive. My PC specs are fantastic. What's the fix? I can't believe I cannot launch an unmodded game days after the new patch.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

I had that same issue. I resolved it by verifying the integrity of the game cache, enabling all mods with that check box thing, then disabling all mods with that same checkbox.

I did them both at the same time, so I'm not sure which fixed it.

Moved as this is unlikely to be a game bug.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list/whitelist of your antivirus app
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.

IF that doesn't help, DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .
