How far do you get? Do you see the Paradox Launcher? Can you get to the main menu of the game? Is it a particular save that doesn't launch or can you not start a new game either?

If you haven't already, please try the steps for reinstalling the launcher detailed in this thread. And if that doesn't help, follow the steps at the end to contact Paradox Support.

Hmm that is strange. Best to contact Paradox Support then. Maybe there's a known fix for it, maybe it's related to the issues Steam is having at the moment.
