Blank, as in there is nothing in the window except for whatever was behind it when it becomes the active window. The window doesn't refresh either.

- I verified the integrity of the game cache, didn't help.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, no change.
- I ran the Direct X setup, still blank.
- I ran both vcredist files (x86 and x64), and the launcher window is still blank

The game still runs, if I click the spot where the "start game" button should be. It just would be nice if I could see what DLCs are enabled or if I could see what my last game was so I could decide if I would want to launch it directly.

I have no mods installed, using WIndows 7 64-bit with 8 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 TI.
 
Is it that the game used to run okay on this computer then this happened? Or it's always been like this since first installed?


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.
- 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.

IF that doesn't help, DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). 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 your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .
 
Never mind, I fixed it. Turns out it was because I was using NVidia fastsync as the global default for vsync. I didn't need to do any re-installations. Fastsync was causing problems in some other games too, (CKII launcher was the only PDS title affected).
