Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

psvoid said: Currently 1.11 crashes a lot not only in MP, but also a lot in SP. Many bug reports here. One player is affected because he performed necessary actions for the crash.

The OP here only mentions MP crashes, and is the only one in his player group getting them.

If you are getting SP (or indeed MP) crashes, please start your own thread here. Thank you.  

Our support system uses the same account and credentials as you've used successfully here, so I don't understand why you cannot log in there. What happens when you try?


As for the sync issues, do you get the same OOS error codes each time? Or different ones?

How large is the affected save game file?

Any mods in use?

Can you start and play a new unmodded campaign in MP okay?  

psvoid said: It looks like something with children cause the error.
How does graphics settings can help with the game logic?

Just because you see an error in that log, doesn't mean that's what caused the crash.

If it was a game bug, why does it only happen in MP, and only affect one of the players?  

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.


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  

Is this crash while playing an MP session, or while starting up the game, or while connecting/loading the save, or what?

Is it just you that crashes, other players are okay?  

JayJJoker said: Hey so i didnt find 'cap refresh rate' so I assume you are talking about cap FPS?

When in the launcher Game Settings menu you disable Vsync, you get a Refresh Rate option (which does indeed set a line in the pdx_settings.txt file called setting_framerate_cap). Please set that to 60.

Assuming that doesn't help, you probably have the bios/CPU issue described here:

Well, the error log often has cosmetic errors in it, they may or may not actually be the trigger for your crash.

I ran your 'last_save.ck3 hands-off for 5 game years with no crashes, despite there being many errors like this in my log

[13:27:30][jomini_script_system.cpp:276]: Script system error!
Error: Event target link 'compare_value' returned an unset scope
Script location: file: events/dlc/bp2/bp2_yearly_1_events.txt line: 6535

So the cause is elsewhere, it seems.

If it only happens after an hour of play, it's probably an overheating issue. Is that right?

I use Macs Fan Control to check my iMac's temps, but there are other options out there. What CPU and GPU temps do you see after, say, 30 minutes in the game?  

Any mods in use?

Is this crash repeatable from a particular save or saves? Or more random?  

I've never used that process myself, but I guess Access Denied either means you need to ne Windows Admin to do it, or that folder does not actually exist. Can you see it?  

Game Version​

1.9.2.1

Can I ask why you are not on the current game version, which is 1.11.2? Because if this is a bug in 1.9.2.1 it has probably already been fixed in a later version.  

If your model of Mac only has an Intel video system, that is probably the cause of your problem. This game now only usesw Vulkan as a renderer, not openGL any longer. And Vulkan does not run well or in some cases at all on Intel video Macs. FYI this game has never been supported on that hardware platform since release, so really it's a matter of luck that it ever worked!

If that is the situation you can try updating MacOS to 14.x which may have a newer Intel video driver; if that doesn't help or is not possible, all you can do is revert to the previous game version 1.10.2 in the Steam betas tab for the game. Or play on any other machine you have access to with supported hardware.


If however that is not the case - ie that your Mac has AMD video - that's a different matter; let us know here and we'll look into your case more closely.  

There is absolutely something wrong with the game and/or Steam as they are on this machine, I completely agree. But I'm sure it is not a general bug in the game, or all Linux users (including myself) would get it.

The Windows version issue is particulaly bizarre. How Steam detect the OS and select the appropriate game version I have no idea!

I don't suppose you have access to a Ubuntu or SteamOS installation to test the game on?  

So we are back to the libtinfo.so.6 error. I don't see any alternative to you sourcing ncurses-lib from somewhere!  

Hmmm. How about if you change your Steam download region?  

That's a great question and I don't have an answer. When Install this game - any game - in my Linux VM, all that comes down is a native Linux version. I don't have Proton though, could that be confusing Steam ?  

A CK3 patch does not change the launcher (they are separate apps with independent update processes), so I don't understand what's happened there. Indeed the launcher hasn't changed for about 2 weeks now, AND CK3 not for a week. Could that update you saw, have actually been a mod you are subscribed to?

But if you get the same error as above when running ./ck3 then that's nothing to do with the launcher. All I can suggest is seeking Linux help for how to obtain and install that package. Good luck!  

If this is the Steam edition you can see your cloud saves here:

PadwiseGamgee said: No - If I run that, then Steam still opens up, the launcher opens and I get the same issue.

Running the .app files directly from Finder does not start the launcher. Did you perhaps do it on a desktop shortcut or something like that?  

That seems to be saying that library needs to be installed or updated. It wouldn't surprise me if CK3 needed a newer one than Stellaris.
