I cannot start the game through Steam or by the exe for the past few days. The launcher simply won't start after I have clicked "Play Game" button in Steam. I cannot start the game by double clicking the ck2.exe in my directory neither. Nothing happens after my PC loads for a few seconds. I had reinstalled the game and manually deleted Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 and Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders for a couple of times. The issue still remains.

I tried to fall back to older versions. Luckily the launcher and game start normally without any problems if I set it to 3.3.0 or 64bit open beta edition. But still I want play the game at its most updated version. What should I do?

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 , error.log , exceptions.log

Yay! I do see your Windows had not had any major updates for 2 years, so that may have fixed it all by itself.
