Description
3.12.5 I cannot get the game to start.

Game Version
3.12.5

What version do you use?
Steam

What expansions do you have installed?


Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Few days ago i was playing just fine and today when i tried bootup the game i cannot get rid off this error.

I have tried:
-Downloading Visual C++ and .NET as the notification says.
-Verifying game files (it says all files are okay).
-Reinstalling Paradox Launcher
-Reinstalling whole game.
-Turning off mods/dlcs
-Did what this post suggested


-Followed this video i found in steam discussion with same problem regarding Hearts of iron 4


-Also followed this post


-Updating graphic card drivers.

-And of course turning computer on and off, as some kind of last resort.

And even after everything i have tried i cannot make the game run its driving me insane and i have sit here for an hour already.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

This won't be a game bug so moved to tech support.

What happens if you run stellaris.exe directly from File Explorer?Any Windows error show then?


Right-click on stellaris.exe, properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullscreen optimizations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply, and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select the fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, refresh rate 60.


If that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log
