[2020] game wont start and if its lagging

I've never seen anything like this:

[17:23:44][pdx_data_factory.cpp:912]: Could not find data system function 'Linie'
[17:23:44][pdx_data_factory.cpp:697]: Failed converting statement for 'Linie'

and frankly have no idea what could cause that.

Did your clean reinstall look like this?

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox/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.

 

Bodi386 said: I subscribed to the barber shop mod but I never activated it.
I even reinstalled windows today. I can now start the game through launcher but it is still lagging ingame.

Can we get new copies of all those files please, since the reinstall?  

I wonder if that's an autosave issue then. If you ever move it back try disabling autosaves OR saving to cloud only.
