Hey,

I've recently updated to Windows 8.1. When trying to launch CK2 through the launcher, it gives me this error:

Untitled.jpg

I've seen some similar posts on this forum regarding launcher problems, and have tried reinstalling .NET framework to no avail. Also tried reinstalling Visual C++.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Right-click on ck2game.exe and ck2.exe and set them to run as the Admin user.

If that doesn't help 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.

Figured it out.

Comodo Defense+ was interfering with the launcher.

If anyone else has any similar problems, check your antivirus or firewall.

Thanks for the help though!

Really, the launcher too? Because we know it quarantines the game file ck2.exe . Thanks for updating us.
