Directions to solve pre-existing issues:

Disabling antivirus
A lot of users have experienced issues due to their antivirus blocking the game or files associated with the game. We’ve seen some users be able to bypass a lot of issues by allowing the CK3 app and Launcher to not be flagged by your antivirus.

Disabling ransomware protection on Windows 10
From the start menu, type “Ransomware” and go to the Ransomware Protection settings.
If Ransomware Protection is on, add ck3.exe and paradoxlauncher.exe to the allowed apps.

Unplugging controllers, gamepads and other gaming peripherals
A lot of players have noticed a wide array of issues that have been resolved by unplugging controllers, gamepads and various other gaming peripherals.

Verifying game files (Steam)
  • Right click the game in your libraries on Steam
  • Select “Properties”
  • Select “Local Files”
  • Press “Verify integrity of the game files”

Minimum specs
Please also be aware of the minimum specs for running CK3, should your machine be below these requirements it may impact your ability to run the game.

Allow the game access to read and write to disk (MacOS only)
Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Then select the Privacy tab. Scroll down to files and folder in the left column. You’ll see a list of apps and the folders they need access to. Check the box to give access.


OpenGL version (Linux only)
Make sure that your version of OpenGL is at least 3.3. You can check this with “glxinfo | grep OpenGL”. We do not support any version below 3.3.

The 1.2.x patches have reduced the breadth of impact of the MP issue, but unfortunately not fixed in for everyone. Work continues every day.
