So, since the new DLC release Sphere of Influence, I couldn't play Vic3 anymore as I'm a Windows 7 user.
When I tried to launch the game from the vic3.exe located in the steamapps I had this message error : entry point SetThreadDescription cannot be found in the dynamic library KERNEL32DLL
or exit code "3221225785" in the launcher
Lucky me, I found some workaround after doing some research on the internet and I'm gonna share what I found so far in order to play Vic3 with win7 (I haven't tried with win8, so you'll have to tell us if it works by replying to this topic).
Note that you'll be able to play the game both WITH or WITHOUT the paradox launcher !
1) dbghelp.dll fix
2) Paradox launcher fix
FORUM THREAD :
3) Sphere of influence 1.7 patch and beyond fix (all credits to a certain "FitGirl")
FOR SOME REASON I'M NOT ABLE TO SHARE THE LINK TO THIS EXE/COMPRESSED ARCHIVE NOR ANY FILE so you'll have to find KeyxSetup_x64Rel.exe all by yourselves...
I hope this will help you. My game run smooth so far (shaders compiling will be very slow at first load but that's totally normal). Enjoy
