CreamyClimax said: I am still seeing my checksum as MODIFIED.

The only possible causes of that are modified files, a mod in use, a corrupted installation or the game is in debug mode.

So check for debug mode, if that is not the case do that clean reinstall yourself, In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again. The Steam uninstall only removes files that Steam put there, any mod files lying around in either folder structure need to be manually deleted. ... Read more

10 minutes is somewhat unusually long (it takes ~7 on mine), but on slower machines this game can take longer.

Did it eventually load perhaps?

If not, 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.
- 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 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

Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.  

It ought to run on an M1 Mac, even though strictly speaking that is not supported hardware for this game.

In fact that error looks like a Steam problem in some way:

steamloader.dylib' could not be loaded:

What happens if you run ck3.app directly from Finder? Same problem?  

So I take it you do NOT see a game launcher? As that is where this would be set on a PC.

If there is no option to change language in the game, I would have thought it would use the PS5's language - but I guess that is not in French, from what you say?

If not, I think you'll need to contact PSN and swap the French copy for an English one.  

I know nothing about how such things are done on consoles I'm afraid. When you start the game do you see a Paradox launcher like you do on PCs?

If so there's launcher and game language choices - quite separate.  

Since you posted, the devs have released 1.11.3 which re-enables openGL on Macs. So please try that.

However that was the case in 1.10.2 also, so it seems likely you have an unrelated problem. Quite what I cannot see just yet!  

The devs said the only difference between 1.11.2 and 1.11.3 was re-enabling openGL support on Macs. It is hard to see how that could have rendered saved games unplayable! Especially on Windows.

In what way are these saves broken? Were they started under any of the 1.11.x patches, or something earlier?


As to what game versions are on the Betas tab, Steam do limit how many we are allowed to put up there. So I guess given that minor change, it didn't seem worth using up a beta slot for it.  

The latest version that appears on my beta list is also 1.11.0, so yeah it seems 1.11.2 is not on the beta lists and there's really nothing you can do to change that - besides asking Paradox to add it there maybe? But don't expect they do. The changes from 1.11.2 to 1.11.3 are so minor that probably that's the reason they didn't wanna maintain 1.11.2 on the list, because that'd mean maintaining two versions that are basically the same and Steam has a limited space for beta versions - the less the better.

As for your broken saves issue, I'm moving this thread to Tech Support so you can get better help on that.  

AndrewT said: you mean starting a CK3 MP have as a host, and just letting it run without the host actually playing, something like that?

That's what it sounds like. Never heard of anyone doing that before.  

I don't play this game so forgive a naive question - when you say run a server, you mean starting a CK3 MP have as a host, and just letting it run without the host actually playing, something like that?

As to your problem, your idea of switching the new machine to the old location is a good one - that will determine if it is in the machine, or the ISP/modem.

My guess would be some sort of hibernation or power saving mode.  

"setting_framerate_cap"={
version=0
value="off"
}

Did you set that cap to 60? If not please try that.  

They will have to do a clean reinstall

- 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.
- 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.  

reuxertz said: Do you think if i were to reinstall version 1.11.2 would be listed under my steam betas?

No. What you do on your PC doesn't change the versions Steam maintain for PDX.  

reuxertz said: Are you implying that a selected mod playset in the launcher would affect what steam beta versions are available?

I'm saying that it's highly unlikely that the patch (for which the notes are one single line) has broken anything.

And that the steam betas only contain more significant version changes, not minor ones.  

PC Update 1.11.3

Hello everybody! We've got one more update before the holidays releasing today. It's a small one reenabling the OpenGL renderer for MacOS users. Please note that this renderer is still unsupported, we're just restoring the option to use it... ... Read more

BoudaWasted said: I already had this problem. But I fixed it back then

How did you fix it back then? And what change or update seemed to make it start happening again after that?

There's a mod error in that log. Please disable ALL mods while we work on this.

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

With that ASUS bios and 13th gen Intel CPU, you will be having the CPU/bios/AVX2 issue discussed here:

Same OOS errors each time is typically a game bug, I'm afraid.

If there are no mods in use: Please make a new thread in Bug Reports, and attach there the affected saved game and any OOS logs you get.

Sorry for that problem!  

Has it always been like this? Or it was okay up to some point?

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.
