Can't start new game

[Apis Mellifera]

Crash when trying to start new game at the stage "Adapting History". No matter, with DLC or without.
Steam, CK2 2.0.1, never had any other versions of game.

System:
Win 8.1 x64
i5-3230M
GTX660M
VC++ and DirectX is newest

Tried to find solution in existing themes, but failed.
Thanks

The newest DirectX (11) is of no use, you need Dx 9.0c as well. Try http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
(If that doesn't do anything then http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 )

If that doesn't help, Please post a dxdiag.txt (you can delete everything after the "Sound devices" section for brevity), settings.txt, system.log and error.log files (you'll need to rename the .log files to .txt to upload). Also open setup.log, search for "checksum", and paste that line only in here.

Your checksum is bad so your installation is corrupt. Try doing a Steam verify, if that doesn't help try a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local files" in Steam
- manually delete all files left under Steam/CK2 AND Documents/CK2
- re-install game in Steam, run a verify when done.

It helped. Thank you.
