[2023] Game crashing on events

Game Version​

1.9.2.1

Can I ask why you are not on the current game version, which is 1.11.2? Because if this is a bug in 1.9.2.1 it has probably already been fixed in a later version.  

Any mods in use?

Is this crash repeatable from a particular save or saves? Or more random?  

Well, the error log often has cosmetic errors in it, they may or may not actually be the trigger for your crash.

I ran your 'last_save.ck3 hands-off for 5 game years with no crashes, despite there being many errors like this in my log

[13:27:30][jomini_script_system.cpp:276]: Script system error!
Error: Event target link 'compare_value' returned an unset scope
Script location: file: events/dlc/bp2/bp2_yearly_1_events.txt line: 6535

So the cause is elsewhere, it seems.

"setting_framerate_cap"={
version=0
value="off"
}

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, cap refresh rate at 60.


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 , error.log , exceptions.log  

JayJJoker said: Hey so i didnt find 'cap refresh rate' so I assume you are talking about cap FPS?

When in the launcher Game Settings menu you disable Vsync, you get a Refresh Rate option (which does indeed set a line in the pdx_settings.txt file called setting_framerate_cap). Please set that to 60.

Assuming that doesn't help, you probably have the bios/CPU issue described here:
