I'm playing CKII and I have it through steam on a MacBook Pro. I have 60 hours in game (Small, I know, but I just got a computer that can handle it), but all of a sudden it won't start. I hit play game, it starts loading, and a couple of seconds later it just reverts back to the green play game arrow. I've tried reinstalling the game, restarting the computer, reinstalling steam, and a few other things. I've had to go into the source code to change the pixel dimensions as it was starting halfway down the screen, but it was working fine after doing so. I can't find anything online about fixing this. I just want to finish turning the entirety of the world into a Jewish State, then converting to Islam and then Christianity and back to Judaism.
 
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.
- 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.

**File Locations on Mac OS X**
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings II/
On OS X 10.8.x and later, Apple have hidden the /Users/USER/Library/ folder. To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .
The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/ .


For your Catalina resolution problem, rather than editing the game, You can see some discussion of it in EU4 here:

Post #37 in that thread may help you.

Good luck with that!
