Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

I have discovered that when I have my two GeForece GTX 980's in SLI mode that I get this visual error but without it enabled the COAs are fine. Much like the same Imperator SLI Flag issue that has been there for the last few patches. Anyone else running two video cards?  

I missed this before:

[13:11:36][virtualfilesystem_physfs.cpp:1549]: Could not open file: pdx_settings.txt, error: pdx_settings.txt permission denied
[13:11:36][pdx_settings.cpp:571]: Could not write settings: Could not open file: pdx_settings.txt

What antivirus app do you use?  

That shot shows th elauncher has installed an update, but you haven't restarted it for that update to take effect. I assume if you run it again now, you get no light or error up the top left of the launcher? And it shows 2020.13 now?

That aside you have a game or Linux problem. Has this game ever worked on this machine, or never yet?

Run the game's executable from a terminal command line; when it fails what output do you see there?  

That shows game version 1.03, we are on 1.1.3 now. Please opt out of all betas in the Steam Betas tab for this game.  

I've not seen that before, with this or any other game. I assume running ck3.exe directly runs the game?

My instinct is to do a clean reinstall of Steam and game, would you be okay with that? I ask because I sense some reluctance on your part to do anything that dramatic!  

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!  

There's no special syntax, it's just an ordinary file path - did you look into the .json file I mentioned?

In the userdir.txt file you just put the file path itself, no need for any labels or anything.  

I have not seen this as a general issue since 1.03.

Does it make any difference if they are local or cloud saves?

You are getting a lot of mod errors there; does this happen in a campaign that's never had any mods used in it?


As you've gone back and forth in versions a bit, 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 with a new campaign - NOT by loading any existing one.

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 lo... Read more

I'm already helping you in a ZenDesk ticket on this.  

Interesting, the second case I've seen with Vermintide in this thread today ... anyway we're still seeing the errors in the graphics card area there. Please try this:

- uninstall the AMD video driver with this tool:
https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx - reboot
- install the one from May 2020 from here:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download - reboot again

Also, if you run the Windows Updater app you should see ... Read more

Is the MS gaming services app 2.46.7001.0 ? If anything earlier it needs an update too.  

Ajlowry1 said: It is happening on 1.1.3, and I have tried reverting to 1.1.2 and 1.1.1 using the steam beta options but still no luck.

Launcher version shows: Launcher V 2020.12, and in the top left it shows a new update available and to restart the launcher, but restarting doesn't help. I think its because of the systems anti-virus not giving access to the documents so it can't update.

On android using no anti-virus, as I can't access the Geforce NOW rig's system settings, I'm not sure I can do anything about system permissions or firewall exceptions.

I don't know how stuff l... Read more

I don't think there's anything we in technical support can do about this.

If it is not already reported in the Bug Reports forum (search please!) make a new thread in there and attach screenshots, videos, and system data (dxdiag.txt in particular).

Thanks and sorry for that problem!  

That is true, but the launcher should run - IF Windows 7 is on the very latest updates for it, from this year.  

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  

There were bugs with cloud saves under 1.03 but they should be fixed now.

There is no quick and easy way to write saves elsewhere but it can be done. Essentially you need to edit the launcher-settings.json file in the Steam-CK3-launcher folder to point the gameDataPath line to where you want. AND you need to make a text file called userdir.txt containing the same path and place it in the Steam-CK3-game folder.

Yes.

I don't suppose the 1.1.3 patch helped?  

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.
