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.

Hello,

I'm having the same problem as Alllucknotalent. The game is not loading after a reinstall. The last two links you gave, however, aren't loading right. Maybe I can search for them manually and it will worK? Can you give me the title of the package to search for?

So, I have a problem much like these gentlemen.

I play CK2 through Steam. Not sure if that changes things much, but that's the system I use. I've double-checked every single install link, even the DX SDK install, which seemed to fix it for a while. But, now the problem has returned. I've got a campaign I was just starting, and when I load it up, I get maybe a couple of minutes before the game completely drops me to the desktop. At that point, I can't actually start up the game again, because it has deleted the EXE file, so I have to go into Steam, and verify the game cache again, so it repairs the install.

I've had similar problems with Hearts of Iron 3, which I have through Steam as well, where it will randomly crash to desktop with no seemingly visibly identifiable cause.

I installed all of the little links, I've set the games to run as administrator, but things just keep crashing on me.

EDIT - I just went to verify if HOI3 was giving me the same problems, and yes, I didn't even get my SP game loaded before it dumped me to the desktop.

Do you by any chance have Comodo antivirus ? As this does quarantine the exe.
