Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

You have your Windows User Documents folder held in OneDrive, that is MS's cloud. If there is any problem with accessing that - it is not syncing, you are offline, etc - then this will happen.

Do you actually want your documents held up there? If not it would be best to change the Windows settings so your Windows User Documents folder is held in the default location C:/users/{userName}/Documents

All the best!  

Can i get the info files i asked for before, please?  

I'm afraid none of these issues are things we in tech support can deal with.

Some look like good candidates for the Bug Report forum (one thread per bug please), others are perhaps best suited to the Suggestions forum.


All the best!  

There is no logging of the game's attempts to write a save, by default. You could try enabling debug mode though.

I don't know anything about the structure of its save files - you might try user Mods for that.  

That is certainly possible, of course, we have no way of telling that from our files.

Did you try what I suggested? That ought to reduce the GPU temperatures.  

I don't know then. What if you make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that? Do you get the same problem?  

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.

Then start a new campaign with NO mods at all enabled. Do you still get this?


If so 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  

There's been a new launcher release now. Please do the clean reinstall of it I described above, again. Any different?  

We can't help with modded games here I'm afraid.

If you both start a new campaign with NO mods at all enabled, do you still get this?

If so does it affect both local and cloud saves?  

Actually this should be sorted very shortly . A hotfix is in the works and you should get a launcher update in a little bit.  

If you could attach the launcher logs (Settings in Launcher > export logs > attach them) that'd be great as I've passed it on to the launcher team but they need to logs to try and figure out what's going on!  

I'll report this to Paradox tonight, sorry about that!  

Right click on this game in your Steam Library, manage, browse local files. Then go into the Binaries folder, ck3.exe is there. Does it work if you double click on it, or give an error?

I don't see anything in those files to explain your problem. In there CK3.exe is crashing with c0000409 rather than 0x000012d though.

What if you run ck3.exe directly from File Explorer, any different?  

Well, either there is something loading in your original Windows user profile that is getting in the way of our launcher (whether an app, utility, or security setting), or it is corrupted. At least now you can play the game properly, with some inconvenience to be sure.

Diagnosing Windows problems like that is somewhat beyond me I'm afraid. You could boot into the original Windows user profile again and try this Windows repair tool

As Vulkan didn't help, you can go back to DX11 .

Looks like you have an issue with the nVidia driver or card:

Please try this:

I don't know then. What if you make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that? Do you get the same launcher problem there?  

We see some mod errors in that log - you are disabling ALL Mods which we work on this, is that right?

That aside it is hard to understand why you get this issue on two machines, I've never seen it before.

You could check if there's a video driver update available
