SeizuresAnonymous said: I bought CK3 on Steam with all the DLC, but none of the DLC content will load. It says it is enabled in the game but whenever I click on it it simply opens the Steam store as you can see. I have uninstalled all apps multiple times and none of it has made a difference.View attachment 1068863...

... in that case it is not the same ... ?!?

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 test with a new unmodded campaign, NOT any existing one.

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  

If you are not getting overheating, this will either be a compatibility issue with the Apple Silicon hardware platform+Rosetta, or a game bug that only evinces itself on Macs.

If you have steps that duplicate the problem fairly reliably, probably best to make a new thread in Bug Reports, and all affected users add to that thread.

Sorry for that problem!

OpenGL is old and slow and not very well supported by the OSS community any more, Vulkan is newer and faster and better supported.

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 Interactive/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- 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.

**File Locations on Mac OS X**
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings III/
To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .

Did that help?  

The devs have not put 1.11.2 up as a beta, so there is no way to do this.

But the only difference with it and the current patch 1.11.3 is the provision of openGL support on MacOS, so the mod ought to work just as well.

Check with the mod authors, you won't be the only user in this position.  

We have three possible workarounds that may solve it:

Disable IPv6
- Close CK3
- Go to Control Panel > View Network status and tasks > Change adapter settings (left side)
- Find your Hamachi Connection and Disable it
- Find your Internet connection adapter (for me, it was WiFi)
- Right click your internet adapter and select properties
- Scroll down to find "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and uncheck the box
- Select Ok
- Start up CK3 and should work.

Disable all other network adapters
Go to Windows Control panel.
Click on Network & Internet.
Click on View Network Status.
Quick Tip: You can also quickly access these settings by right-clicking the network icon in the taskbar and selecting the Network & Internet settings option.
Click on Change adapter options.
Right-click all network adapters that are not connected to the internet and select the Disable o... Read more

You see post #10 in that thread, from a developer? That's very similar to what you are seeing.  

Looks like the same issue as here then:

You are 100% sure the game is NOT in debug mode?

That there was nothing whatsoever in the Steam-CK3 or Documents-CK3 folders, before installing again?

That you have NO mods enabled?

Maybe, can we see screenshots showing each of those please?  

If you have a VPN, connect via that before you start the server. That will take any firewalls out of the equation.  

PrincesAarsbaars said: Back again, this time I only reinstalled the game and still the same problem.

So by implication, a clean launcher reinstall will get it working at least once. However it is hard to see how the launcher could have the effect you see!


What happens if you run ck3.exe directly from File Explorer?  

I see this is a known issue in various Linux distros:

Hard to tell if it was the game or launcher reinstall that allowed you to run it once.

Can you do just one of those now, say the game reinstall above, WITHOUT doing the launcher reinstall, and see if it works then? Even if only once?

Are you on a current Steam version? I've seen recently that you need to do a manual check for any available Steam updates, they don't always happen automatically any more.

And, you haven't opted into the Steam beta programme, have you?
