Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

There's no mention of the game itself in that dxdiag. Several errors to do with Windows updates and the MS gaming app, even a crash in Task Manager. Are you having any sort of general Windows problem, would you say?

Are you starting the game from the MS store app or the Xbox app? Whichever one, try the other.

And in the MS store app, check for updates and apply everything it finds, then reboot.

Good luck with those!  

Panu said: what about the paradox launcher!? I still have the first version and i don't know how to update it

Assuming the standalone Paradox client is up to date itself (beta-61 at present IIRC) then it should offer you the update in the GAMES-REFRESh screen.  

Firstly, if you have the debug launch option set, remove that as it alters the checksum.

If that's not the case, 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.


That will do it for you!  

I don't know why you can't remove the launcher, and why the new install even cares about that. neither are normal in my experience. Do you have some sort of extra security software or settings in Windows that might be getting in the way?

You could use the free Revo Uninstaller utility to try and remove it.  

70c is getting up there but not quite to the level when I'd typically see problems happen. It never ever gets to 80c?

Do you have any overclocking active?

If Afterburner is running when you play the game when the problem happens, can you try it with that utility unloaded please?  

I now have at least 10 reports in the last few days of the launcher not running under Arch Linux, across several games. As the launcher didn't change there must have been some Arch change or update to trigger this - is anyone here aware of such a thing happening?  

I'm not aware of a general issue like this, no. has it always been the case for you? Or it was okay up to some point?


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  

This is looking more like a hardware problem in your case, so please attach a new dxdiag.txt , thanks.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .

Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)

2/ in the main game menu
3/ after say 10 minutes' play.
If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install

I see those errors a lot at the moment, so I suspect they are cosmetic.  

Hello, thanks for your report.

Please provide the exact script files and the lines you identified to be incorrect for us to be able to confirm that this is a bug.  

Well that's bizarre as the launcher has not changed for weeks. The game went to 1.2.2 a few days ago though, did it coincide with that? Unlikely though that would be to affect the launcher.

Or was there an OS update that might have done it? But the launcher runs fine on my Ubuntu 20.04 installation and it's fully up to date ..... strange!

Ah - there was a Steam update at about that time too! did it coincide with that perhaps?  

You don't have a proper video driver installed for your nVidia card:

Card name: Základní grafický adaptér Microsoft
Manufacturer: (Standardní typy zobrazovacích jednotek)
Chip type: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design

Please install the latest one from here:
Download Drivers | NVIDIA then reboot.

All the best!  

In that case this will need a code fix. I'm pretty sure I've asked a previous user to make a thread in Bug Reports on this; see if you can find that thread and add your save to it. If you can't spot it, just go ahead and make a new thread there.

Sorry for that problem!  

So you mean the launcher does not run, is that right? the games themselves are okay?

Has it ever worked on this machine? Or never yet?

What exactly do you see when it tries to run?

Please attach here the launcher logs:

• $XDG_DATA_HOME/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/logs/ (if $XDG_DATA_HOME is set)
• ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/logs/ (if $XDG_DATA_HOME is not set)

 

hok-bras said: Same problem (i use xbox game pass) and I can't close the game when he initialising, i need to stop my computer manualy. After that my windows account dosn't work... I need to restart my computer again...
I make video of my problem : I add "paradox interactive" folder in my AV (eset nod32) exeption (i don't find ck3.exe on my computer, game pass ?).

MS lock down the gamepass folders very hard, they are almost impossible to access.

However if the computer has to be restarted, that begins to sound like a Windows or hardware problem.

none of the above worded im afraid to say. please find below the dxdiag (hope i have done it correctly)

thnaks

Your video driver is 5 years old, I've seen that cause this problem before. Please update it:

I should have looked at your film before! I see that campaign has a huge empire, which is known to cause this kind of problem wth this game (and, interestingly, with its predecessor CK2). I take it you don't see this happen in a new campaign , just in that particular one?  

In the game launcher please set Display mode to windowed.

IF that doesn't help, Install ALL these Microsoft modules:

Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) from Official Microsoft Download Center

I have also seen this happen when massive Windows updates are downloading in the background, is that a possibility?  

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
- 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!
