Summary​

Game crashes after loading (saves and games), now new issues

Description​

I start the game, it the game opens up to the menu, then when I try to enter a game save or start another game, it crashes without the usual crash report pop up. This really started occurring after the newest patch. Even continuing save file from the launcher can crash. I've redownloaded Crusader kings twice now on top of using task manager to clear whatever up. I have verified the game files too and nothing says its broken. I love the game but now I can't play it or even host it for me and my friends. I play on a surface pro 8 (and still do) but it always worked smoothly before the new patch update 1.16.2.1 (modless). I hope this can help and i hope i can play soon. now after following:
Move any valued save games elsewhere
"Uninstall" in Steam-CK3
Manually delete both the Steam\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Crusader Kings III AND Documents/Paradox/CK3 folders
Re-install the game in Steam, and run a Steam Verify when done.
Add ck3.exe to the exceptions list/white list of your antivirus app
Start a new game with no mods active and test
these were suggested by Sylvia Stevens from the support web.
After completing the steps, my game now full on crashes/closes when the music loads without the white but report.
