Hi,

I am unable to launch the game at all due to this error. I have uninstalled and downloaded the game again, uninstalled all mods too. Here is the error message

What happens if you run victoria3.exe directly from file explorer?


Make sure none of these files are set to run as the Windows Admin user:

steam.exe
victoria3.exe (in the Steam CK3/binaries folder)
dowser.exe (in the Steam CK3/launcher folder)
C:/users/{username}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2025.1/paradox launcher.exe
C:/users/{username}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/bootstrapper-v2.exe
