Hello,
So yesterday my prison architect started to have a problem with gui.
- Everything was zoomed in extremly and I had to point my mouse exactly on some spot to control with menu.
-- So I reinstalled it.
--- Then it showed me problem with database migration or so.
---- But now I am not able to play the game at all, because of the problem with launching paradox.

Screenshots of the problem in image.
Thank you so much!

That is fixed in today's hotfix patch.

So I reinstalled it.
That would not have fixed it in any case.

Then it showed me problem with database migration or so.
---- But now I am not able to play the game at all, because of the problem with launching paradox.
This is an unrelated problem, with the launcher rather than the game.

Please try this:

- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam
OR
- exit the Epic app entirely
- run EpicGamesLauncher.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the Epic client

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.
