We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Please look in Documents/paradox/ck2/gfx/flags/ folder. There should be two .txt files and 3 or more .tga files there.
If there are no .tga files there, that is the problem. An antivirus app is getting in the way of the game creating those files. Avast and AVG are famous for this. Avast and AVg are th emost common causes.
Either you need to unload that AV app then run the game so it can make those files, or we have to make them separately. Sometimes users have installed the game on some other computer, let it make those files, and copy them across.
IF that doesn't help, DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

Sorry for the late reply, I went and I have tga files 0-3 and and text files of flagfiles and flagfilescolor.
My antivirus I use bitdefender and I turned it off and whitelisted ck2, but still no results.
Thanks for your time.

With Bitdefender you also need to add the game to its Safe Folders feature.
And edit that settings.txt as follows:
