Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

Actually I'd suspect the GPU was overheating, your symptoms are pretty typical of that.  

Just so you know, strictly speaking the game is not supported on any Intel video hardware under MacOS\.


I see the game is at 1440x900 - is that your Mac's desktop setting? If not, change the game to match your desktop resolution.  

King_Ploy said: If it helps at all, even though I usually play on Gamepass, after the 1.6 update I rather furiously decided to purchase the steam version in order to attempt to roll back to version 1.5.1.1, then refunded and reinstalled the Gamepass version shortly afterward

That may have been when my mod problems started, or it may just have been when I first noticed, since I was unable to get my 1.5.1.1 save game running again

All game editions use the same Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/ folder, unfortunately. I recommend you delete that folder then ... Read more

If 1.5.1 crashes then this is not the known issue with 1.6 . Has 1.5.1 worked on this machine before?  

Shurik465 said: The game crashes when auto-saving/manual saving.The game is normally saved 2-3 times, but then the next time it is saved, it crashes. Tried everything, nothing helps

What antivirus app do you use? Make sure ck3.exe is in all its exceptions lists.  

Can I get new copies of dxdiag.txt and pdx_settings.txt please?


Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)
1/ before starting the game up and
2/ after say 10 minutes' play.
If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install

Are you also on the Gamepass edition of the game like these other folks are?  

I did get this from one affected Gamepass user:

In case anyone else had issues when they purchased the season pass from gamepass.
The season pass shows no downloads and the dlc by itself looks like you need to purchase it.
Click the dlc and click the purchase.
It’ll change and say you own this already.
Click the same box that now says you own this already and it’ll ask you to download it.
Do the download and boom it finally adds
You need to do it for both northern and RC downloads.

Please let us know if that helps you!  

Are you still on 1.5 ? Because 1.6 was released a few days ago and most mods will not work until they are update by their authors.  

What antivirus app do you use? You need to make sure all these apps are in its exceptions lists:

ck3.exe (in the Steam CK3-binaries folder)
dowser.exe (in the Steam CK3-launcher folder)
C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2022.7/paradox launcher.exe
C:/users//AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/bootstrapper-v2.exe

IF that doesn't help, also set each of those .exe files (EXCEPT ck3.exe !) to run as the Windows Admin user.

Then the game should run from Steam/our launcher, and enable all the DLCs.  

FrancusGaius said: Indeed I did,
I even tried to revert further back and disabling Fate of Iberia + Garments of the HRE mods. No progress

Then something else has happened to your machine, Windows, or this game installation, quite aside from the AVX bug. CK2 is free to play on Steam now, does it work?


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 i... Read more

When you posted this thread 1.5.1 was the current version and this function worked the way you wanted it to. Now 1.5.1 does not work the way you want. Is that right?

If so, there pretty much has to be something else in your system that is causing this for you. Hard to guess what though!

Does this happen with all mods disabled?

What antivirus app do you use?  

:DeadeyeDj1000 said: Do i have to wait for the people who created the mods to update them?

Yes, this happens with every major patch with every game.  

:DeadeyeDj1000 said: Im having the same problem on the xbox game pass version so since i cant go on steam to betas is there something else i can do to roll back the ck3 version im on

There is not, I'm afraid, as MS do not provide any mechanism to do that.

Did you delete your Documents/Paradox/CK3 folder after reverting?  

whoatenine said: Sorry! Meant a workaround to play on an earlier version.

Microsoft do not provide any mechanism to distribute alternate or older game versions, unlike Steam. All you can do is wait for a fix from us, or only play on a computer with a more advanced CPU that has AVX.

Sorry about that!  

I think this probably is due to your video system with CK3, I'm afraid. Do make sure your Intel video driver and Mesa versions are the very latest.

However why our launcher does not work I do not know. What exactly happens when it tries to start from the Steam PLAY button? Are you then running the games directly from their executable?

Note that CK2 does not use the new launcher, but you are saying it too now fails for you?  

whoatenine said: I am also having this issue. Is there a fix for the game pass version?

There is no fix as yet for any version, I'm afraid!  

This will likely need individual intervention for each of you affected, which can only happen from Tuesday on next week.

Please each lodge a ticket at paradox.zendesk.com and we should be able ot sort it out then.

Sorry about that!  

We see several Windows errors at thje end of that dxdiag. Are you having issues outside this game, would you say?

Does the Windows Update utility find anythign to apply? If so do that and reboot.

In the launcher Game Settings menu select display mode fullScreen, Vsync off, refresh rate 60. Is that any better?
