That really looks like the antivirus app is still getting in the way. Which one do you use? Most cases of this problem are Avast or AVG, although others are possible.

Do the mod files end up in Documents/paradox/CK3/mod/ ?  

That's a link to this same thread ...

Looking back at your dxdiag I see tha AMD video driver is from 2015. Please try the current one:

Good luck!  

Please try the following:

- unsubscribe from all mods
- delete the folder Documents/paradox/CK3/mod/
- delete the file Documents/paradox/CK3/mods_registry.json
- delete the file Documents/paradox/CK3/launcher-v2.sqlite

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. You should add steam.exe and C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2021.1/paradox launcher.exe to that list.

- subscribe to a few mods
- run the game up and see if those mods are now available to you.

I hope that does it for you!

Antivirus; most likely Avast, AVG or Windows Defender.  

Looks like you have a problem with your nVidia driver or card:

+++ WER3 +++:
Falha no bucket LKD_0x117_Tdr:3_TdrBug:575504_TdrVTR:0_IMAGE_nvlddmkm.sys_Maxwell, tipo 0

Please try this:

- uninstall your nVidia driver and all other nVidia software
- reboot
- install the latest by fresh download from here:

How far do you get into the game before this happens?

Does it happen in the identical place in HOI4?


DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). 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 your Documents/Paradox/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/CK3/logs/ folder, attach system.log , error.log  

Definitely a problem in the Windows sound setup here:

[21:45:55][audio2_fmod.cpp:392]: PdxAudio2: couldn't load bank 'sound/banks/Ambience.bank' (Operation could not be performed because specified sound/DSP connection is not ready.)

Although not one I've seen before.

That dxdiag shows 15 different audio channels, using 5 different audio drivers ... I've never seen a setup like that before. I expected to see RealTek drivers but there are noe.

It seems this is your current sound output:

Description: Headphones (2- Arctis Pro Wireless Game)
Default Sound Playback: Yes

Does it make any difference if you use any of the others?   ...

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- 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.  

Please try this:

- exit the Steam app entirely
- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users//AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users//AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user

- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users//AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

Note that you can run ck3.exe directly from Windows Explorer, which bypasses the launcher.  

Has it ever worked with this game for you? Or never yet?

Is that all sound - music, ambients, sound effects?


Run the game up to the main game menu then alt-tab to the desktop. Right click on the speaker icon in th etask bar and go into Volume Mixer. Scroll across until you see the game and check it is not muted or at a low volume.

If that is not the problem DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). 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 your Documents/Paradox/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/CK3/logs/ folder, attach system.log , error.log

I hope that does it for you!  

That first screenshot shows an older launcher version still, 2020.14 . Yet i see the current one 2021.1 downloading in cpatch.log. Is there an orange or red dot up the top left of the launcher?


As for the game, what happens if you exit the Steam app entirely then run ck3.exe directly from Windows Explorer? Any Windows error show then?  

Do you happen to use nVidia Prime Render Offload?

If so please see this thread where that is being discussed:

You are missing some Microsoft DLLs in your Windows installation. Please go here:

The latest supported Visual C++ downloads

This article lists the download links for the latest versions of Visual C++. support.microsoft.com And run the x86 and x64 installers there.


That should fix that problem!  

Your launcher is fairly old, so lets update that . Please try this:

- exit the Steam app entirely
- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users//AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users//AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user

- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users//AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.


As for the game, it fails running from ck3.exe directly, is that right? We see many GPU errors in that error log, so let's check that out:

Right click on this game in your Steam library, manage, browse local files. You'll see a folder Binaries, ck3.exe is in there. Exit Steam entirely then double click on that ck3.exe to run it.

What happens?

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3

tomascada said: Well, I don't know about everyone else, but for me it started working again today without doing anything. I guess the launcher got updated, because it's a bit different than before.

I suspect your AV app got updated actually, or accommodated itself to the launcher, which did not change in the last day or so.  

sashaaa_27 said: but the other guy had the same problem with intel 3000 and he says that the texture was fixed after the second patch. do you think that if ill download the second patch too it will work?

The current game patch is 1.2.2 which you should already be on.

I don't know where that first number comes from, not seen that before. But the launcher is now in there correctly. You can't add ck3.exe there?

What happens if you exit the Steam app entirely and run ck3.exe directly?
