Since I purchased vicotria 3, I have had an error when starting the game through launcher/steam, and the game works normally if I run it directly through victoria3.exe. Below is a printout of the error that occurred.

Ah, that is usually an antivirus app getting in the way. What antivirus app do you use? You need to make sure all these apps are in its exceptions lists:

Victoria3.exe (in the Steam Vic3-binaries folder)
dowser.exe (in the Steam Vic3-launcher folder)
C:/users/{UserName}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2023..12/paradox launcher.exe
C:/users/{UserName}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/bootstrapper-v2.exe

IF that doesn't help, also set each of those .exe files (EXCEPT Victoria3.exe !) to run as the Windows Admin user.

Then the game should run from Steam/our launcher, and enable all the DLCs.
