Everytime i have tried to run the game i keep getting this error with the launcher. It was working fine but i decided to close the game once in the task manager and ever since then the game won't launch. I have already tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling the launcher and nothing seems to work. I really need help. I am using windows 10.

Here are the log files. How do i bypass the launcher in the meantime? I can't find any ck3.exe.
Right click on this game in your Steam Library, manage, browse local files. Then go into the Binaries folder, ck3.exe is there. Does it work if you double click on it, or give an error?
I can bypass the launcher now and play just fine. It seems to just be a problem with the launcher. I still want the launcher fixed though because otherwise i can't play with mods.
There's been a new launcher release now. Please do the clean reinstall of it I described above, again. Any different?
I don't know then. What if you make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that? Do you get the same problem?
