[Steam Intel macOS] Paradox launcher doesn't start anymore, and for a while was limited to a small graphic option, 864x720 or something like that

Hello Paradox Forum,

Hopefully, someone could help me here. So using the green play button inside steam, paradox launcher doesn't even open. Steam believes it's running, but the launcher is nowhere to be found. I've spent a few hours trying to fix and reinstalled the game twice to no avail.

Before the launcher stopped opening altogether, I noticed that the game window was limited to extremely tiny pixel sizes, and didn't offer anything even remotely close to 1080p. I worry that once I'm able to get the game running again, I'll run into the same issue.

Log attached below, it was the only one

Please delete the ~/Library/Application Support/Paradox Interactive/ folder. To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and paste in ~/Library/Application Support/ . Then run the game from the PLAY Button in Steam, to reinstall the launcher.

If that does not get the launcher running, we will need these files from that same folder:

Attach ALL .log files Found here ~/Library/Application Support/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/

I already did that when I posted this thread. But just in case I did the same thing again. Same result
