Game keeps crashing

[Bicurious Biped]

Does anybody else have this issue? The game will get to the first day in a random month and crash. This was happening before even during the beta, but not as bad. I tried uninstalling and verifying game files and even playing with game compatibility. Even went as far as to memtest my ram. Still the issue persists.

Yes, I have random CTDs now since the 1.5 came out. Never had CTDs in previous versions.

I have no mods, have tried verifying game files, but to no avail, still random crashes. I did not get crashes in the Beta version.

The auto generated crash report can not be sent either. It says report could not be sent because of an unknown error.

I'll try this. Not looking forward to waiting for my Colombian factories to build even slower

With the size of this patch, I verified my game files before I played and I didn't have any issues with crashing. So this might be due to an issue with your drivers or hardware since I haven't been hearing about others dealing with major crashing issues.

I have heard that multiplayer is not working well at the moment....

Paging file. Increase it. I’ve read logs and managed to reveal the problem. But I couldn’t even launch Vic properly.

So, paging solved the problem.

Every other game and application launches.
Victoria 3 does not.
Logic dictates, the issue is NOT related to page file.

EDIT:
The issue is now fixed on my computer.
I was wrong - it was indeed a lack of free memory issue.
@derTeufel, thank you.

On a 32 GB physical memory Windows 10 system, which has not been restarted for 27 days, this was due to a web browser (with 4 windows, multiple YouTube videos) being open for too long.
Simply closing the web browser freed up adequate memory to make Victoria 3 run successfully again.

Other than derTeufel's message above, the other thing that helped me monitor this is:
1. Open Task Manager
2. Switch to Memory tab
3. At the bottom check Committed value.
On my PC, launching the Victoria 3 game and keeping an eye on that value showed it was maxing out 100% and then game was crashing.

As I said above, simply closing a web browser, and re-running the game fixed the issue.

How does this apply to AMD CPUs? I get crashes at a variety of points (upon loading the game, loading a save, changing a setting in game or simply playing).

All of them after v1.5

Still crashing for me on a rig with no E-cores (9900K, 32GB RAM, 3080)...
