Paradox Launcher help

[SC x Tralos]

Since the launcher updated, I cannot play any Paradox game I own

I always get
GENERAL ERROR
("messageId";"game.loadingLauncherGameSettingsFailed")

I tried following all the suggestions on the "paradox launcher v2 doesn't work" article and it will load initially but I can't use mods and once I exit the game it goes back to general.
Attached are logs. Stellaris, CK3, and Hoi4 are literally some of my favorite games and I would like to play them.

Thanks for the help.

FYI you can play all those games by running their .exe files, which bypasses the launcher. HOI4 offers you an option to do that when you run it from Steam too.

There are no errors or clues in those launcher logs. I see the launcher is in its beta, not the released version - is that something chose, opted into?

Is this the process you followed?
- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam
