Exit code 1 when trying to start the game

[schtruk]

I was playing the game just a few days ago. Today I tried to start it and it didn't work.

When I launch it on Steam it open the Paradox Launcher (as it normally did). But when I try to launch my save it doesn't want to. I only get little windows which say "An error occurred". The first window was about switching resolutions, which I don't understand at all. The second window said that the game crashed. I tried reinstalling the game, removing all mods which I had and installing the elements like it showed in the second pop up window, but nothing helped.

What should I do now?

Maybe try 720P (1280x720), iirc.

Did you verify integrity of the game?

Did you install visual C++ redistributable or .net framework?

Maybe DirectX as well? (dxwebsetup.exe from Microsoft website) In fact all 3 files are from Microsoft website.
