Launching the game failed

[drunkinapple]

I haven't played the game since March. Every time I try loading the game up today it says "launch the game failed".

Every time I attempt to login i get that message with red triangle.

I deleted the game twice and reinstalled - did not work
Tried repair integrity of the game but shows the integrity is intact.

In the game launcher please set Display mode to windowed. THEn go here:

Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads

This article lists the download links for the latest versions of Visual C++ Redistributable packages.

support.microsoft.com

And run the x86 and x64 installers there

IF that doesn't help, Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.


If those don't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log

I downloaded the C++ and switched to window but didn't work.

Some reason it won't let me delete all the files I get error 0x80070091.

 

[AndrewT]

That Windows error means the folder you are deleting is not empty. If you can't delete the files in a folder something is very wrong here!

One possible workaround to that is renaming the parent folder instead.

What antivirus app do you use? Maybe it is getting in the way here.

 

[drunkinapple]

It didn't work either. It's strange maybe it is the antivirus.

I have the bestbuy antivirus its called trend micro.

I got the game to work. I changed the folder name like you said.

And I compressed then archived the file.

And redownloaded the game and now it lets me run the game.

Thanks for the help!
