When you say 'load a map" do you mean load a saved game? Or start a new campaign? Or both?


Please attach your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach system.log , error.log


Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.

On my iMac I get the same errors as we see in that log file, down to the PdxTerrainSkirt line. So they are normal and nothing to do with your problem.

The next line seems to say your login failed, in the launcher or game - is that so?

Then the fmod lines relate to sound but I'm not sure what they are saying, to be honest. Similarly with those 'culture' lines.


What I do see is your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M video system GPU power is marginally below the game's minimum requirement, the AMD® Radeon™ PRO 560:
UserBenchmark: AMD RX 560 vs Nvidia GTX 775M Aside from the speed, I suspect the problem is Vram, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M has 2gb whereas the AMD® Radeon™ PRO 560 has 4gb.

I rather suspect in fact this game is not even tested on those older Macs with nVidia cards.

And as you are on MacOS 10.15.6 I don't think you can use the updated nVidia drivers rather than the Apple drivers for that card.


So despite the lack of errors pointing to the video system as the problem, I think it is the issue here. If you've just bought the game please seek a refund from that vendor.

Sorry about that!
