[2023] non functional pointer

By 'broken pointer' you mean the mouse cursor in the game does not work in some way? Is that right?

Has this always been the case, or it used to work?  

Steam installs updates (of games and of Steam itself) automatically, unless you've opted into a beta version.

What game version do you see now? 1.9.2 is current. Not that any game version is known to have this issue.

What if you disable the Steam Overlay before running the game?

So you were, and are, in fact up to date. What did you mean by this, please? An update to something else?


In any case, 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.

Any better?
