Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Every time I tried to load the game up, the launcher loaded up fine but the game told me that I needed a C++ redistributor, a .NET framework, and to verify my game. I've done all of those multiple times and the game still doesn't load. I thought it was the launcher so I saw if HOI4 would work and it did without a hitch. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Victoria 3, didn't work. I tried reinstalling the launcher, didn't work. I tried launching the game from the files, that did nothing. I tried any suggestions from the Paradox forums, the steam forums, and gaming articles and none of them worked.
