[2023] Looking for HELP for the endless crashes from CK3

Right click on ck3.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, refresh rate 60.

Then test with a new campaign, not any existing one - does that help?


If those don't help:
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 , exceptions.log  

I'm not suggesting you change your computer's refresh rate, just that within the game. Can you try that please?

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

74c is getting up there, but not quite to the point of causing problems - that happens about 80c or so. It never ever gets there?

That aside, I don't really have a lot to suggest. I might reverse my previous stance - can you set Windows to say 60hz refresh rate and see if that affects the game?
