Instant Game crashes

[Kronkrom]

Hello Guys

when i start EU4 or Imperator Rome, while I got an internet connection, both games crash before the loading screen. The launcher opens, but when I hit play, the icons in the taskbar appear for like a second or two and then they disappear. When the normal game icon disappears, also the launcher shuts down. Imperator Rome has a fail report every second time.
I tried to reinstall both games, I got no mods, I tried all types of screen settings (fullscreen, borderless fullscreen and windowed)

I hope you can help me

having a similar issue. Worked fine until a few hours ago.

after a full, clean reinstall it finally works again. Not just uninstall and reinstall, but also delete the Documents files of Paradox for those games. Was my absolutely last option because I was doing achievement runs, but necessary in the end and worked out.
