Summary​

Non-fatal error message on clicking "play" from launcher

Steps to reproduce​

Paradox launcher loads fine. When I click "play" I trigger a non-fatal error message (options are "continue" or "quit game", I click "continue" and then game seems to run fine without any errors.

Expected Result​

Expect to proceed to game's main screen on load without incident

Actual Result​

Generated error message reads:
