Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

Jhofstetter said: I do have a Mac with an Intel processor, even with an i7 core just as mentioned in the game requirements. So the problem would be that my graphics are also Intel?

That is exactly the issue, I'm afraid!

As mentioned above, support for openGL was removed in recent patches for this game and Vic3, which means they will no longer run on that unsupported hardware.

All you can do is revert to the previous 1.10.2 version in the Steam betas tab, or play on some other machine that meets the hardware specs. Also, if you have Ap... Read more

Oops - trying to wrangle too many issues in too many games! Sorry about that.


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.  

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.

The 1603/1605 errors we see there are typically a previous other installation stuck, or a problem in the Windows update/install processes.

If you see msiexec OR Paradox Launcher running in Task manager-processes, kill it and try this launcher install again please.


If still no good, do you see Paradox Launcher v2 in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall? If so does it uninstall cleanly, or get an error doing that? You can use this MS tool to clear the stuck install/uninstall:

That means overheating, which probably means an excessive fps rate.

Disabling mods does not remove effects they've already had on a save game file. Do you get this in a new unmodded campaign since 1.11.1 ?

And, are you on Windows, MacOS or Linux?  

You get that at speed 4 too? What about when paused?

Speed 5 is different to the others; you are effectively saying to the game "run as fast as the hardware allows, regardless of the effects on the game's visuals or user experience".

All I can really suggest is run at 5, when it lags drop down to 4.  

If you drop down to speed 4, do you also get this?  

Is this just in one particular campaign? If so, and there is a large empire that controls say 1/4 of the map or more, AND a civil war, rebellion or world war breaks out, you could well see this - just too many units on the map.

Or is this also happening in a new test campaign you might start?  

Gibsone said: I made my own thread couple of weeks ago. No one responded

You made it in Bug Reports, not here. QA and the devs don't necessarily respond to every thread there, but they do get read and taken in.  

psvoid said: Looks like they made breakable changes and didn't write them in the patch notes.

You can't say that unless you try it without mods  

The current version is 1.11.1. Are you trying to load a save that was started in a previous version?  

8mb for the game, as it was at release. Each DLC adds memory needs, AND of course Window and any other app you have running takes away some of that 8gb.  

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.


That should do it for you!
