"Launching the Game Failed" error continually comes up on Mac

[veithbennett]

Over the past week, I have been having an issue with Hoi4, where whenever I click the "play" button, I get a red error triangle with the message "Launching the Game Failed". Before this week, it was working normally without any issues. This is what I have tried so far:

• disabling and deleting all mods
• restarting my computer
• doing a clean uninstall of Hoi4 from my computer and re-downloading it
• doing a clean uninstall of Steam from my computer and re-downloading it
• deleting all files associated with Hoi4 or Paradox from my computer

Despite all of this, I keep getting the same message. The game isn't crashing, it's simply showing the message, a picture of which I have posted below. Because of this, I am unable to access the game. I have a MacBook Pro and my current software is up to date - macOS Big Sur 11.0.1.
Thank you very much! Any help would be appreciated.
