@Paradox a lot of people, including me, cannot even launch the game. The launcher closes once you press ''Launch'' Button. Ive tried all the graphic settings combinations, checked game files, reinstalled, restared pc and steam.

Same here. I have been fiddling with the settings for the last half an hour, reinstalled the bloody thing, did integrity check and....nothing.
Paradox has said that they're aware of the issue on the Steam forum. It's being looked into but we'll have to wait for them to find a solution.
For me after clicking Play in the launcher the game crashes (black into white screen). Deluxe edition as well.
Managed to fix it, If you try to launch it directly through the .exe file it gives an error message regarding missing d3dcompiler_47.dll. Just go to your Steam directory then \bin\cef\cefwin7x64(or something similar depending on your windows)\ - here you can find the .dll you need and copy it to D:\Steam\steamapps\common\ImperatorRome\binaries ( or wherever your steam sirectory is )
Tried the copy dll solution, the game just gives me a "failed creating render backend" error and shuts down.
try to run it direclty through the .exe. its in \Steam\steamapps\common\ImperatorRome\binaries - worked for me
The message only shows if you try to run it directly through the .exe file in :\Steam\steamapps\common\ImperatorRome\binaries. If you run it through steam/paradox launcher there's no error message at all. but if go to you steam directory \Steam\bin\cef\cefwin7x64(or something similar depending on your windows)\ - here you can find the .dll you need and copy it to \Steam\steamapps\common\ImperatorRome\binaries ( or wherever your steam drectory is ). Ihad the same issue everyone here is describing and this solved it for me.
Anyone else getting "Failed Creating Render Backend"? Because that's the error message I'm getting. I press play in the starter box and then get that error box and the window the game would be in. Press ok, and it crashes.
Ive tried all the solutions offered here, and the game will not launch, it now shows the ''failed creating render backend'' error.
Tried that, doesn't work.
I do. Looked at every solution that was "supposed" to work for others. I'm surprised that this issue wasn't found during testing, as it isn't a small one.
Got the game installed. Playing on an i5 7700, GTX 1060 6gb, 16gb Ram. No stutter whatsoever. Everything flows beautifully. I'm one of those players who will critisize a game fiercly when it's not optimised enough, but in this case I have nothing to complain about. It simply looks astonishing!
