As soon as I hot the Play button on steam, the game quits and gives me the message above. I already tried the set compatibility to 600 x 480 top, but can't run the ck2.exe file from outside of steam. The game was running only a few weeks ago, and I tried deleting all local files and reinstalling it. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

Since the last time it worked, have you reinstalled Windows or changed any hardware? If so
Please try installing:

First: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

After that: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328

Then: 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 )


Then: visit the Windows Update site and allow it to apply all .NET updates/patches it wants to, for all .NET versions.

Then right-click on ck2.exe and ck2game.exe and set them to run as the Admin user.
And then check if you can run the game after that.


If no, or 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.
