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

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- 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.

Does that help?

What antivirus app do you use? Make sure ck3.exe is in all its exceptions lists.

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


Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)
1/ before starting the game up and
2/ after say 10 minutes' play.
If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install

Ironman does not do autosaves as such; rather it does a forced manual save t load time, then at certain events like declaring war or whatever, and at certain times too. So the autosave settings do not affect it.

As you've no doubt seen in other threads here, this is looking like a problem in 1.5 . I'll be raising it with Paradox tonight.

Sorry about that!

rstil2 said: I haven't gotten any reply to my issue. When are you all going to fix the CTD issue? I paid for this DLC 1.5 years ago and now I except to play it, or at the very least an answer as to when I will be able to play it. I have been waiting for over 24hours for an answer!
Paradox staff do not work on weekends, I'm afraid. I only do what I can as an external contractor, I have no ability to fix anything.
