Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

Hey @Lyndonblaster, I hope everything is well with you!
I would like to ask a follow up question, are you continuing a save you started on a previous version of the game, before Fate of Iberia released?  

draadloos said: But the save cant be loaded ;( it does not show up in the list.

Is it physically present in the Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/ save games/ folder of the host?

You may find another copy in Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/last_save.ck3

Please try this:

- 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.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- 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.


Note that you can run ck3.exe directly from File Explorer, which bypasses the launcher.

Can we see a screenshot of that please?  

Heya!

Thank you for your report, we are currently investigating this issue internally.
Could you post some examples of mods you've been trying to load in the game?  

I just tested this with 1.6, and shift-f11 makes a .png file in the screenshot folder.

How f11 and f12 work normally for you but shift-f11 does not I cannot imagine!  

The game used to run under .1.5.1 okay before 1.6 came out, I presume? If so I have no idea why it is not working that way now, that makes no sense. This is not the first report of that happening

CKIII No longer starts

Hello, I have came up with an issue that totally prevents me from starting the CKIII game, from the Steam app, the Paradox Launcher or directly with the ck3.exe file found in steamapps/Binaries I have tried to: -Reinstalling prob... Read more

Hunangren said: I am presented with a similar problem. Since my processor also doesn't feature AVX Support I believe to be the same case of FrancusGaius, so I guess it wouldn't be useful for me to provide further details (if that's wrong, please correct me).

Including that 1.5.1.1 doesn't work for you either, even though it used to?

In that case, please make sure ck3.exe is in the Ransomware - Apps Allowed Through list  

Then I don't know what happened to your Windows installation or hardware to cause this, very odd. What if you run ck3.exe directly from File Explorer, any Windows error show then?


If not, make a new Windows user and log into Windows as that, and try 1.5.1.1 under it - any better?  

If there are no mods at all involved here, please make a new thread in Bug Reports and attach the save there for QA to look into.

Sorry for that problem!

Sorry for that problem!  

This is very likely a game bug, which we in tech support can do nothing about I'm afraid.

If you don't see the identical issue already reported in Bug Reports, please make a new thread there and attach the problem save.

Sorry about that!  

Okay then, leaving it on 1.5.1 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.  

Disabling mods does not remove effects they have already had. Does this also happen on a new campaign started with no mods at all enabled?  

We are still testing with 1.5.1 , is that right? because 1.6 will not work on your machine until it gets patched.  

I don't know thenn. Does reducing resolution from 3440x1440 help at all? Disasbling character animation?  

Let's get that AMD driver updated:

- uninstall it https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx
- reboot
- install the latest https://www.amd.com/en/support/grap...es/amd-radeon-r9-200-series/amd-radeon-r9-280
- reboot again

Any better now?  

ForgerOfEmpires said: Edit 2: after doing that troubleshooting, I tried to run EU4 and it immediately encountered an error related to the launcher. Related?

What error exactly? The two games use the same instance of the same launcher, FYI.

The crash stack in exceptions is entirely in the nVidia driver:

- uninstall it and all other nVidia software
- reboot
- install May 2022 ... Read more

That will be the problem, for sure. I'm surprised capping the refresh rate to 60 has not helped that. What fps are you seeing in the game?
