Short summary of your issue
Game launches, music starts but interface does not load

Game Version
2022.12 (Launch version)

What OS are you playing on?
Windows

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files?
Yes

How much "pain" is this causing you?
10

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Launcher loads and can execute the game. After over 5 minutes (usually, some times it takes less) loading two things can happen: if the game is executed in fullscreen mode I .can see my desktop screen, as if the interface was transparent, If the game is executed in windowed mode the screen goes white. In both cases I can hear the game music and the cursor changes to the Victoria 3 cursor.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
My laptop PC specs are:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz, 8 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (4GB)
Windows 10 Home x64

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
I have tried launching the game both in the laptop screen (1920x1080) and in an external ultrawide screen (3440x1440). I have updated the drivers for the graphics card and try all configurations available from the launcher (windowed vs fullscreen, changing resolutions, changing v-sync, launching with debug mode)

I have attached a save game
No

Hi! as an update, I thought that the issue could be due to the limit in RAM size, I have updated the PC (now 16GB instead of 8GB) and the issue persists. Any clue on how to follow?

Thanks!

EDIT: I think I found the issue. Apparently the program was using the processor's graphics. Curiously, this only happens with Victoria 3. To solve the issue I have to disable the Intel graphics controler from the device manager once the game is launched
