[2022] CK3 CTD Help Please

In the launcher Game Settings menu, turn off Vsync and set the framerate cap to 60. Any better?  

A firewall can block the game's access to the outside world, but won't crash it.

DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log  

I believe that's referring to video memory, not general system memory. Although you have plenty of that too.

But no harm in looking into that - in the main game menu, alt tab out and run Task Manager-processes. How much memory is ck3.exe using? I don't know of a way offhand to check video memory usage, maybe GPU-Z ?

Then please edit that pdx_settings, and find the renderer line. Change it as follows:

"renderer"={
version=0
value="OpenGL"
}

It will be slower, but is it more stable? Either way if I can get new copies of that file and error.log after that test, thanks.  

I believe mod errors like that occur regardless of whether they are actually enabled or not.

I see no audio errors in it anymore though?


Tagging @Arakrates as I think this is another instance of this ongoing problem.
