CK3 Freezing while playing.

[Retep]

Seems like I cant play CK3 anymore? I start a new game and can play a few minutes and then it freezes, only way to solve it is to shutdown my PC.
I tried removing all mods, re-install the game, change settings and updating my pc but nothing works. I just bought roads to power and havent been able to play it at all. And I cant refund it either... Kinda sucks.

Anyone had this problem but solved it?

Glad to know I am not the only one having this issue. Hopefully they are aware of it and fix it.

Yes me too. I had some money from selling CS boxes and I had just enough to buy Baldurs Gate 3 but sucker for this game and always wanted the DLC, I picked the DLC instead and not being able play it at all kinda sucks... :-/

They aren't going to fix it, at least they haven't shown any intention of fixing it. It's all on Micro$oft apparently, but i got an early update to 24H2 which (that caused this issue) but it did not work.
24H2 was a horrible buggy patch from MS and they don't even acknowledge it.

So there's a way to prevent the game from crashing your whole PC but it does not prevent the game itself from crashing...

When you start up the game, press Ctrl+Alt+Esc to pull up the Task Manager

Right click on CK3.exe and click "Go to Details"

Under the Details menu, right click on CK3.exe, then click "Set Affinity"

Un-check half of the cores dedicated to the game.

Unfortunately this doesn't prevent the game from crashing but at least it doesn't kill your PC so that's something. I guess we'll have to wait for Microsoft to give us another OS update in order to properly play this game again...

It's better than to not play at all! Thanks :D

Yep, having this issue too. It freezes and it WILL unfreeze (atleast mine does) but it can last as long as 3-4 minutes waiting, you have to try and tab out and click the screen to get it to unfreeze after a while.
Not happy about this, devs should play their game after every potential update to ensure no GLARING and OBVIOUS issues are there lmao.
I updated my windows too and everything else is up to date.

Update: I changed from DX to Vulkan and my game worked without freeze! Try it out for yourself and see if it works!!

This did not work for me. 20-30 mins of gameplay and either the game crashes or Windows freezes. Happens every time like clockwork.

This helped me as well. Didn't completely fix the issue, but definite improvement.
