Whenever I try to launch the game through the Paradox launcher, I get the error: "The game appears to have crashed or terminated unexpectedly...". I don't hit this problem if I launch via stellaris.app, but in this case I don't have any of my DLCs, just the vanilla version of the game! I've had this issue for a few weeks. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, Steam, updating my computer, verifying the integrity of the game files, etc. I'm on an M2 Mac.

I've attached the log messages and the zip file of the Launcher logs.

Here are the log messages I'm seeing:

What MacOS version are you on? If it's older than say 12 that may be the problem here.
