I know of a similar issue with EU4 in the Americas, but never heard of it with CK2.

Has this always happened, or only since when? Any mods involved?
 
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 with a new campaign, NOT by loading any existing save

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

Let me know if it still happens then.
