Whenever I open the launcher or try to open the game directly, it crashes after 5-6 seconds, I have no idea why it has happened, yesterday it worked fine, I've tried doing a clean install, updating my graphics, c++ and all other drivers I could think of updating, usually I find out these things on my own but I'm really at the end of my rope
 
The game itself did not change overnight FYI.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.
