Did you try to run the ck2.exe as administrator ?
In another thread it helped, though it made me wonder that it still starts and only crashes later when it's just a permission issue.

Rockhund · Oct 20, 2013

Tried that already & no luck. Thanks for the tip.

Based on the error log it seems to be that the program is looking for dynasty shields (DLC???) and the files associated with the Sunset Invasion DLC, despite that fact that I have neither the dynasty shield packs or the Sunset Invasion DLC.

A little annoying as I was getting bored with EU4 & was looking forward to go a viking and terrorize the european seaboard.

Those 'errors' are normal and nothing to do with your problem.

When you deleted local content, did you remove ALL remnant files from BOTH the Steam/CK2 and MyDocuments/CK2 folders? That is necessary for a clean reinstall.
