Crusader Kings 2 used to work fine for me for months but now when I open it through steam it just says "running" then just "syncing" and it closes again, never opens the launcher. I've verified cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, updated directx and my c++ redistributables, and downloaded adobe acrobat reader, every solution I've found on the internet and none of it works. I really enjoy this game but it feels like god just doesn't want me to play it, any suggestions? Only thing out of the ordinary I can think of is when I run the file 00_GET CK EXE it says "the network path was not found"

Possibly because their is no such file as ck2.exe? The game is ck2game.exe
Um, what? How could that possibly help ... !?! Weird advice from somewhere!
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.
Also if you have installed RadeonPro, or a gaming VPN app called Evolve, or the MSI Gaming App, disable it as it clashes with this game.
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 .
