For some reason ever since i updated the game to the newest version, the game just crashed whenever i try to load it up. I cant think of a reason for it doing this because every other one of my games works on steam and all other game launchers. Any help with this would be amazing! Ive attached the 'Crash logs' and other things that may be usful below.

I can not understand these logs, but I can provide some basic trouble shooting tips:
Are you running mods? Try starting a vanilla game.
Have you verified the game-files? Please do, if you haven't.
Have you set the FPS limit to 60 or even 30 in the options? It unfortunately seems that the game runs more stable with less GPU load.

Yeah ive done all of that. Thats whats making it so confusing? Tried verifing game files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, uninstalled all my mods, disabled all DLC and it still doesnt work. Havent got a clue what else to try
Please do a full clean re-install:
move any valued save games elsewhere
"uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders - In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.
re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
add Victoria3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
THEN Right click on victoria3.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, cap refresh rate at 60.
If those don'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/Victoria3/pdx_settings.json .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log

Hi there, unfortunately none of the things you listed here worked. I have attached the 'DXDIAG' and the other folders here. I dont seem to have an 'exeptions log' so i cant attach it here. Any extra help would be really appreciated!
I don't see any surereason for this problem in those files.
But try this: expand your Windows paging file maximum size to 32gb
Does that help at all? If not, what happens if you run victoria3.exe directly from File Explorer?How far exactly does it get before it crashes?

Optional: Increasing the paging file size on Windows computers
On computers that have 8 GB of RAM, the suggested paging file size is 16 GB.
