When this happens it is a sign that you don't have enough virtual memory. Increase the size of your Windows page file to 32 GB.

[Sergeant_Jeong🎸]

I have 64gb of memory and should I still set it up?

Assuming you run Win10 or 11 as OS.

About "virtual memory": I recommend to read there ...

https://superuser.com/questions/1090569/what-is-the-optimal-virtual-memory-size-for-8-gb-ram-win-10#1090580

There is no absolute rule.

Edit: If the error message has actually/directly to do with the virtual memory setting of your system, then you should check it out.

Edit2:
@John Hadley ... please give us the source of your diagnosis "When this happens it is a sign that you don't have enough virtual memory."

I had this problem myself. I had the game crash no less than 10 times in the first 4 hours I played it. After I increased the size of the swap file it stopped crashing. I've played the game for days without it crashing. The game doesn't tell you it is low on memory it just crashes at any time if it goes too low on virtual memory. Its actually kind of strange because the game only takes like 4 GB of ram in memory when you look at it in the task manager, but it absolutely will crash if you don't have way more virtual memory than that.

If you have 64 GB ram then perhaps you have a different problem. I would still try to increase the size of the swap file to see if that helps. If it doesn't then you could just put the settings back. I play the game now with 24 GB ram and 10 GB swap file and I haven't had the game crash for in like 5 days of playing over 8 hours a day.

The game does also run into some kind of issue on Intel 12th to 14th gen processors that requires some people to need a bios update or need to use the task manager to prevent the game from running on the efficiency cores or it can crash. I don't have that so I can't tell you the details about how to solve that issue. If you have 64 GB of RAM then you may very well have a 12th to 14th gen Intel processor.

You should go to the Paradox tech forum and they will have you provide files that give them detailed specs on your PC so they can help you figure out what is going on. The link to it is in the sticky at the top of the forum.

Thanks for the detailed experience report. Maybe you are right or you had just good luck the last time, since you adjusted your Virtual Memory setting.

One thing is clear in this issue: Physical RAM usage and availablity is not to confuse with Virtual Memory usage and availability. The system uses both of them differently.

It would help if more Vic3 players can contribute to this issue.

Because I guess that the crash error message can have multiple reasons; just appears whenever the game crashes to desktop (ctd).

There is a crash post about every two days on this forum. I think, players have contributed enough about a year ago or more, especially because they payed for this game.
