Wow

[Commissioner Jean Claude Van Dan]

So thought I'll try the beta out. 1.2.1
Log in, start game, zero mods, play Austria, 3 months into game, hard CTD everything up to date on my system, never crash in games, then I get the report the crash thing pop up, I put in the deets and upload and error can't upload try it 3 times. Does anything work with this game at all?

Better refund the game. The latest update still has issues.

The last messages from the log look like it is some kind of graphical issue. Are you able to reproduce the crash? If you can reproduce it, does it only happen with a specific save or also on a new campaign and is it specific to Austria or does it happen with other countries as well? And does it happen if you just start a campaign and let the game run without doing anything at all?

Well I would have sent the whole crash report if their reporting server wasn't crashing as well, I've got like 150meg upload I can send them all the crash reports they need to fix the game, but I feel deflated now and Cba to play.

I think the crash reporter isn't a good way to report a crash anyway, because you can't attach a save and they can't ask you back for details. A bugreport on the forum is much better. But to avoid wasting the developers time, it would be useful to first determine if that specific crash is only happening to you or also to other people. The questions I asked were intended to work in that direction. The game definitely is not crashing after three weeks for everybody. If it is just one crash, it might be something random(and you could just play again without risking another crash), but if the crash is reproducible, it might be caused by something which you do differently than others or by something which is different on your system. The GPU errors might indicate that it is related to your graphics card, driver version or directx version.

Everything on my system is up to date, fresh drivers, RTX 3070 with 5600x CPU 16 gigs of DDR 2800 ram and game is on fresh SSD. Don't get crashes on none of my other games. I will try again and post the results in here, just too tired tonight, on a new medication that is giving me some brain fog.

Uninstall and reinstall the game. I think there's been a corrupted file in transitioning over to the beta branch.

Yeah I did a 2nd scan of the files and it did on the 2nd run add something and it's been okay since, so it must have been either a corrupt file or missing file. Issue resolved I think.

Hilariously enough, Paradox's crash reporter has itself been buggy for years; I make some very buggy mods for personal use across their games so encounter it quite a lot - the best I ever had was the reporter crashed whilst trying to report.
