[2023] Game continues to crash on the "Initialising" step on PC Gamepass

I'm not aware of any known issue about DLCs causing the game to crash, in any edition.

I'm not sure we've established that your issue is the one from the other thread you've posted in. Can you please try this workaround to test that?

Crash at loading screen, due to corrupt save file.

So this is a weird one and I have a guess what is causing it but not how to solve it. I need a real computer wizard for this one. So I cant start CK3 at all. I play the game on the Xbox PC app. The launcher works fine, I click play and the... forum.paradoxplaza.com
If so I can go back to my manager about this.

If not though, you have a different problem we'll need to look into in detail here.  

Thank you! I've attached this thread to the bug report on the problem. We suspect this will need an engine update, not just a game fix, so it's complicated and won't be quick I'm afraid.

Sorry about that!
