I have already tried these steps as advised by Paradox support:

• Move any valued save games elsewhere
• "Uninstall" in Steam-Imperator
• Manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Imperator AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Imperator folders
• Re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
• Add imperator.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
• Start the game with no mods active and test

I don't see a reason for this problem in those files.


Right click on imperator.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, cap refresh rate at 60.

If those don't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. 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.
IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.
