I also have the issue and on game pass.

I found differnt fix no one here is tried. Everything else here did not work for me.

Close down the game and launcher first as some files will be locked. Go to %userprofile%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\ (your documents folder) and delete the Crusader Kings III folder. There is a LOT of crap in there if you had a previous version installed (Steam version, dodgy download ;-)). It seems whatever is in there is not compatible with the game pass version...

NOTE: this will delete your old saves games, if you want them back them up first.
 
Hello
I have the red symbol (game launch failed) on the steam-ck3 launcher.
Here my specs and what I done so far:

Launcher: 2021.10.1

Game vers: I can't say that because the game don't starts but if I check the update information on steam I have following entrys:
App-ID: 1158310
Build ID: 6925632


Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 21H2
Installiert am ‎27.‎12.‎2020
Betriebssystembuild 19044.1415
Leistung Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0

Nvidia: 497.29

The folder exists but is empty: "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\crashes"

Kaspersky total security: OFF (does not change anything)

Verify integrity of games files (or clean reinstall on Windows Store): NO ERRORS found on integrity check

Is the location of your user documents directory at "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents"? YES

Does any part of your user documents directory contain non-English characters? NO

Thank you for your help & happy new year to all

I was playing earlier with mods. But I deleted (unsubscribed) them in the workshop a while ago. After that ck3 dosen't start again like I described above. I totaly reinstalled the game now and it works.
-> But maybe for future releases it would be good while the game supports mods, it should run after unsubscribing them too.
