Crusader Kings 3 Dev Tracker

It is normal that changing the settings in the game overrides a previous setting chosen in the launcher.  

Did your clean reinstall include making sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again?

If so 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

Are you 100% sure you did this step? That really should have done it.

Yes please. Do the DLCs all show in the Paradox Launcher v2 DLC tab okay?  

Heya Deathbringer96!

Let's try to figure this one out together, it could be caused by a bunch of different things.

Could you try these things:
1. Make sure you don't have any mods enabled
2. In Steam, right click the game, select Properties -> General -> Launch Options and check that it is empty
3. Rename your "Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III"-folder so a new one is generated

If everything above fails:
1. Right click the game on Steam -> Manage -> Browse local files
2. Delete everything inside the Crusader Kings III installation folder
3. In Steam, right click the game ->Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game files

This will reinstall the whole game.

Please report back after you've tried out these steps!  

Heya SirSillis!

I managed to replicate your issue using the steps you outlined, I can also see that more notification messages are affected as well. I have forwarded this issue to the development team who will take a look and make sure it gets fixed!

Many thanks!  

Heya mateegus, and thank you for your report.
First of all, to find the cause of this issue, could you try disabling all mods you might have enabled?

If that doesn't work, please complement this post with an affected save file and logs from your Documents/Crusader Kings III/Logs folder

anbeck said: It just happened again in the way the others describe it: I was at my liege's court to petition him. My petition was denied, so I chose the "Wait, hear me out..." option which immediately teleported me back to my own court where I kneeled before my empty throne, unable to unpause.

So as reported by others, the "insist" option is probably linked to this bug. I do not remember having been presented with or choosing such an option when this bug occured the first time, but I may have clicked too fast to notice it.

Maybe a long shot, but do ... Read more

I am sorry that my comment came across as disrespectful. My intention was to provide an alternative way to access the descriptions until the fix is in, but I recognize that that is not a valid solution, and I am once again sorry for that.

Hopefully some better news, we have a fix confirmed and are looking at releasing a patch with this issue resolved soon!
Thank you for making us aware of this issue! <3  

I am glad that it was solved Nkibilko!
Enjoy your adventures in Royal Court, and may your court be the grandest of them all!  

Heya San Troy, this is not an issue as it seems like you are editing the wrong file. The DESC_KEY is the ID of the actual faction object, not the name of the type from the script files

For modding help, I would recommend you to make a post here, where our amazing modding community will be able to help you out!

I hope you will have an amazing day, and enjoy the rest of Royal Court!  

Unfortunately the PDX client you are using can be somewhat temperamental.

Try running it as the Windows Admin user - does that help?  

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.

Good luck!  

Thanks; the clean reinstall I usually suggest for such issues would have worked too, I'm sure.

macdesktops said: I performed an Uninstall from Steam, and then re-installed 1.4.4. Presumably, that would have nuked the cache folders.

Not at all. Steam only deletes files it put there, not ones the game creates for itself.  

Did you load your 1.4.4 Ironman save under 1.5 somehow?

When you revert game versions, you should delete at least the three 'cache' folders in the Documents/paradox interactive/ck3/ folder - does that help the crash on start of 1.4.4 ?
