Too many crashes

[Elone_meMask]

Have any of you noticed how "crashy" the game has become? Half a year ago, for example, everything was alright!

[MattP]

Haven't crashed once. Been playing since 2020.

[Razorblade]

Nope. Playing with any mods?

I have played more than 200 hours by now, and I had exactly four crashes to desktop total. Since the game autosaves every month, it is not an issue at all on my end.

Yeah. I don't have any mods installed rn and the game is installed on SSD. I had few crashes before but not like now where its literally every 30 mins

I got crashes to. After installing uppdate 24H2 windows 11.

No other game crashes. CK3 have never crashed before. Something is not working for me after update.

So i w8 til next update to try again. Everything else is working fine.

yeah new update makes the game crash but you can load it back and continue playing its fine its not like the fille corrupt ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

This game literally bricks my pc, requires a hard reboot.

OK, i can't blame the game 100% for that, it's clearly probably some intel and windows shenanigans, but the fact of the matter it only happens on this game.

You got to 'tweak' the game to your rig - whatever that is. Game has issues with various OS, security software, CPU's and GPU's. Prefers new hard drives, plenty of RAM and swap file, and wants everything to be on C drive. Look for issues with whatever YOUR system specs are and make adjustments.

Mods just compound problems and need an additional level of tweaking.

I've played for about 250 hours. The game rarely crashed. Bought Royal Court, played for about 3 days with nothing wrong. Now, the game crashes right at start up. I have tried all of the "fixes" online and listed here... nothing is working. It is so frustrating.

Hadn't played in more than a year and never had issues before, but I did get a new PC. I'm also still on Win10 so not the Win11 issue.

The interesting thing is I was able to play for hours last night without any issues. Only thing I did different was I never upped to speed to 4, stuck to 3 and it was fine. Played again now and increased the speed once for a bit and then went back to 3, and about 10 minutes or so later it crashed. No idea if that was a coincidence, but previously it would crash pretty consistently. I'm going to play some more without touching the speed and see what happens.

Super frustrating though. Definitely something weird going on with the game. And seeing as there's been other weird bugs that has sneaked in it does make me worry a bit about the state of the development on this.

Apparently there are known problems with Win 11. I also crash a lot since switching to Win 11. I play the game vanilla.

It's not Win11 though, as I'm on 10 and people are even complaining about crashes on Linux. It's clearly something with the game.

the windows updates have nothing to do with it, its either mod load order, mods not being updated to current version, or some other things im not sure about, like updates just in general. paradox just blames windows so they can work on other things lol.

I've never had any mods so the problems are in the base game as well.
And while windows updates have caused issues with games, it's still the developers responsibility to try and address those. You can't really blame the OS when your game is the only one having issues. I will say I've not played any of the other PDX games on my new PC so can't comment on if it's an engine thing on their side in general.

Like you, I played for many hours until mod-free eventually the game would either crash at loading the game world, or if it did manage to load into the map I got to see dear Glitterhoof briefly at the bottom before the game went kaput, or sometimes it would load but would crash randomly after a bit of play. I tried the typical delete Paradox folder, reinstall, etc, but it would still persist. I have never found a real fix, only that it seems to help if I delete a lot of other games to free up space on my drive, so it may be a hard drive issue on my end. Good luck.
