Game Crashing At Campaign Load

[Good Puppy]

This is happening for all campaigns.

I have tried the following.

Restart System
Update Drivers
Lower game graphics settings
looked for "aaa_movie_df_toggle_chaos_realm" It is not on my computer.
Removed all mods manually
Verified cache integrity multiple times.
I've checked Modified.txt, it is empty.

It consistently gets about 85% thru the load bar for starting a campaign, and crashes to desktop.

I'm at my wits end, I'm not sure what else could be causing the problem.

"Removed all mods manually"

Did you unsubscribe from the mods, too?

Or they will just redownload...

Any mod with a script you should disable after updates. Wait for those type of mods to be updated for sure.


Also, in preferences script you might want to try this:

gfx_fullscreen false; # gfx_fullscreen <bool>, Run the application in fullscreen or not #

13th line.

Then set graphics a=s you like ingame. As it should load then. If can't boot the game.

Same here crash at end of loading bar when loading a campaign. worked fine yesterday, not today, trying reinstall.

from your library, right click on the game, select properties, then local files, then verify integrity of game files. I was missing like 20gb worth.

Really, really important!!! ^^^

I have never had to reinstall ANY Total War Title, ever...

And I own all except Troy. Because it miffed me they did a deal with sEPtIC.

Similar happening for me. As some others have said, campaign loads and I can auto resolve things, but if I try and do a manual battle it will get to like 90% on the loading bar then crash to desktop. Have also tried all sorts of fixes and nothing.

Same issue on my Win11 igpu min spec machine (still it has nvme 24gbram, 8gb gfx and meets gfx min spec speed wise).
Win 10 overspec machine has no issues.
Verifying game files does nothing.

Edit: Well, it hasn't happened since I updated my AMD drivers from ones cira mid June to mid August. Forgetting the basics I guess. Did a couple of other things too, so cant be certain it was that. Or if it is fixed permanently.

Edit 4 (2 weeks later): Has not been fixed by 1.1

Delete any manual mods you forgot about from the early days, if you haven't.

I had same issues but I found out that if there is no any other applications active or work in background and firewall is off, game is loading just fine. I have no antivirus software just Windows Defender.
So, first of all verify game intergity or reinstall game anew(do not forget to remove game folder \Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer3 if you reinstall it). I suspect that crash corrupt game files, so this step is mandatory for me.
Second: close every application on you PC and stop any that run in background. I have only Steam and Windows Defender running.
Third: Turn Windows Defender firewall off(the one marked "Active"). This leaves you vulnerable, but since there is no any other applications that could possibly use internet connection it could be fine. Do not forget to turn it on later

Probably same effect can be achieved by some Windows Defender tuning and it would be great to know how.

This just started happening at turn 52 in my Archaon campaign :/
