Good day, I'm encountering the following issue: the game freezes on the loading screen after reaching 100% immediately after launch.
The problem started with the transition to version 3.99 and persists to this day on version 4.0.6.
The issue disappears when rolling back to version 3.14.
I use the Steam version with a monthly subscription
All DLCs are installed, including Biogenesis.
No mods are used and have never been used.

I have tried the following:
- Clean reinstallation of the game, including deleting files from the Documents folder and the Paradox Interactive folder in the Steam directory. Also, all registry traces were removed.
- Updating the graphics driver
- Launching without the launcher, launching without the launcher with modifications to the shortcut properties as recommended in similar forum threads
- Launching from the launcher in fullscreen/windowed mode, disabling vertical sync
- Reinstalling all Visual C++ services
- Adding the game and all necessary folders to the Windows Defender exclusions
- Removing RivaTuner and similar programs
- Installed the latest Windows 24H2 updates (downgrade to 23H2 is not possible)
- Made changes to the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorPort
and switched the HMBAllocationPolicy value to 0. - Updated BIOS to last version
