Gamepass version boot issues

[Triumph Jordi]

Hey DrWags, thanks for reaching out, while the workaround you mentioned works I would advise against actually using it as the error will appear every time you attempt to launch the game and only shifts the issue instead of solving it (also did you do it for the correct package as the steps still mention the CK3 one?). The only patch we released for the game was yesterday with 1.05 'Gangster' update, so I'm not sure what update you got a couple of days ago.

Regarding the Paradox Launcher, the one provided with the MS Store version is a standalone version and installed with the package, separate from the Launcher that is installed with other (Non) MS Store Paradox Games. The Launcher is developed by Paradox independently and as you realised the issue isn't just with our game. I'll reach out to the Launcher Team to see if they have any more information regarding the issue, as the original CK3 Thread originates from back in March if I recall correctly.

Hey DrWags, I'm still poking away at getting this resolved but noticed something that I'd like you to check when you have a moment/feel like it. For this I'd need you to remove the permission on the Cpatch.exe and then check the following:

1. First make sure you have no Paradox related processes in the background. You can check this for example via the Task Manager on Windows.
2. Disable your Anti Virus live scanner functionality temporarily before launching. For example:
   1. For Windows Defender, this can be found under:
      Windows Security - Virus & Threat Protection Settings - 'Real-time Protection'
      
      
   2. For Avast, you can follow these instructions. It should be sufficient if you change the setting under: “Protection” - “Core Shields” - “File Shield” - “Scan programs when executing”.

Alright no worries, thanks for letting me know you had already tried that
