Originally, I wanted to try the "When The World Stopped Making Sense" mod and it's add-ons, but for whatever reason it wasn't working through Steam Workshop. I then went to the mod's forum page and tried using their installer, but that didn't work either. I eventually decided to give up and just play vanilla as I usually do, but the mods would not go away. I unsubscribed from everything, reinstalled the game several times, and restarted steam. I've looked online and tried doing a clean reinstall by deleting any CK2 files and folders I could find, and I additionally deleted some files in the Steam Workshop folder. Other things I've tried are turning off/on cloud sync and checking the game's integrity. As of submitting this request, the game's mod tab in the launcher is grayed out, and the game will get stuck on "Generating Coat of Arms" for a moment before it closes.
My mod folders are empty and there are no CK2 files on my computer, according to a windows search.

Basically what I've done so far:
Unsubscribe from When the World Stopped Making Sense (WtWSMS). Run the [WtWSMS] Release 0.9.12.1 Installer and abort when the files fail to install.
Unsubscribe from all mods, mods still show up in Mods tab, but have no checkbox.
Verify integrity of game files, files will show as verified. Uninstall game, then reinstall.
Uninstall again and delete the CK2 folder in the Paradox Interactive document folder, then reinstall.
Uninstall again and delete the folders again, along with everything in Steam\steamapps\workshop.
Restart PC, reinstall the game, the game will start normally as if a first launch, but crashes on "Generating Coat of Arms"

I play the latest non-beta version of Crusader Kings 2 on Steam. I've scoured the internet for solutions, but I can't seem to find anything other than stuff I've already tried. Thanks for the help in advance!
 
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.
 
I am having a similar issue, although it hangs on "Processing Flags". The problem started after I did an uninstall/reinstall to attempt to solve the game hanging when using the convertor. I have done two full clean installs as described by AndrewT to solve it. It has not solved it. Error log reads

[texturehandler.cpp:197]: Couldn't find texture file: .
[id.cpp:83]: Failed to create id 0 67. Already exists in game.
[id.cpp:83]: Failed to create id 0 66. Already exists in game.
[virtualfilesystem.cpp:711]: Could not open file: gfx/flags/flagfiles_0.tga, error: Access is denied.

Edit: Noticed this issue is addressed in this thread https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...me-crashes-at-processing-flags-stage.1100537/

That's not a similar issue at all, actually! Totally different cause and fix:
