I had this same problem and fixed it by adding an exception for paradox launcher and ck3.exe in the Ransomware Protection settings for windows. If you look in your block history there you should see some instances of paradox launcher and ck3.exe being blocked. Hope this helps!

That worked! Thanks so much for the help.

Hi! Thanks for your report!

The game is indeed blocked by Windows Ransomware protection - allowing the game and launcher through should solve this.

As for MacOS:

I have the same issue but for a Mac! It won't launch

Can you see if the software is listed in your settings? MacOS sometimes blocks software from running.

Thank you I figured it out for the Mac! My Mac wasn't giving the game permission to access anything so I had to make sure I turned all the permissions on and restart my Mac. It now works!
