No Longer Will Start!!!!!

I've been playing for 50.2 hours and loving this game. When i came back to it today, it won't open. The icon hops for a second and then crashes. I've restarted, reinstalled, and still nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas? It worked this morning and for the past two weeks. I'm on a 2021 iMac M1

Try clearing your Download Cache. It's at:
Steam > Settings > Downloads

Didn't work. I went through Paradox's troubleshooting - deleting cache and files - but still won't load. I opened a ticket with Paradox and they replied saying that this is an issue with Apple's M1 chip and cannot be resolved. So basically, i got to play the game for 2 weeks and now i'm stuck with a game that i can not play.
I think i'm done with Steam.

Don't be mad at steam, and why would you?
The game haven't had a patch that would had altered anything, steam haven't had a patch that would had altered anything. You should check what kind of patches apple has done and ask them to remedy the issue.
Focus your anger to where it belongs

Some others have reported issues also. See this discussion:

It seems to be a Ventura (macOS 13) problem.

Some people have reported that it works under Sonoma (macOS 14)
