Hi,

bought the Game on the recent Sale to play MP with a friend. But the Game does not really start.
At first signing in to my Paradox Account fixed it, I came to the main Menu, but after chaning some Graphic Options I got an Error Message ( do not remember which one). I reinstalled on a different Drive and now it does not get my anywhere again.
Help would be appreciated.

What error? I think i got the same issue, since the game doesn't start for me either. Except i couldn't even get to any options after the intro video.

So far i've seen this errors:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/cant-start-the-game-anymore.1713050/

on two different setups. It is not the graphic card issue since the game can be made to run without one and the last computer i tried to run the game had the RTX 3050 series.

I have a sneaky suspicion it is the DX12s fault, but can't confirm (tried it on windows 11 laptop, no luck). Was also thinking of giving a pirated copy a try that comes with a windows 7 fix/compatibility, but people on the forum there were mentioning the same issue so IDK.

Also tried skipping the launcher, again no luck.
