In the launcher, game settings set Display mode to fullScreen. Vsync off and refresh rate cap to 60. Is that any better?

Not looking good from that error.log, I have to say. There is a problem mod in there, for a start.

lease do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- unsubscribe from ALL mods in the Steam workshop
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.



If those don't help:
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

That error.log looks the same, as you can see.

In that dxdiag we see many LiveKernelEvent entries. They happen when the machine is forcibly downed or rebooted. have you seen that happen, is it related to this game or something else?

For the D#D error let's try a clean reinstall of the AMD driver:

- Uninstall it with this https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx
- reboot
- install the very latest from here http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
- reboot again

Is that any better?

Well, if this is happening in two unrelated games I'd say you have an issue outside those games, basically Windows or hardware.

Are there ERROR or WARNING entries in the Windows Event Viewer leading up to these crashes?

I think the DCOM ones are cosmetic, but the others look potentially serious.

Do you have a source of Windows support who can help you with those?

Do you still get Warning 2 and Error 1 when this game crashes?

That critical warning is normal when the machine is forcibly rebooted - it's a symptom not a cause.

My next recommendation would be to do a clean wipe and reinstall of Windows - a lot to contemplate to get a game going, I know!
