"setting_framerate_cap"={
version=0
value="off"
}

Did you set the frame rate cap to 60? What fps are you seeing in the game before it crashes?

Then, try changing the renderer to Vulkan, and separately using the Intel video system instead of the nVidia one for the game. Do either of those make a difference?

I'm no Windows expert, but a bit of googling found the idea that you can set the Affinity on steam.exe , then when you run the game from there it should inherit that setting. I also found mention of a utility called Lasso that will do this.

Please let us know if that does it for you!  

If there are no mods involved here, this will very likely be a game bug I'm afraid.

If so please make a new thread in Bug Reports, and attach the save there for QA to look into.

Sorry for that problem!  

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:

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

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.

I'm afraid this is very likely to be another case of the suspected game engine bug as I describe here

Thank you! I've attached this thread to the bug report on the problem. We suspect this will need an engine update, not just a game fix, so it's complicated and won't be quick I'm afraid.

Sorry about that!  

Where is the Bug Reports forum, are you asking?

It is a sister forum to this one, you should see a link to it near the top of this page.  

Sheesh. Can i get new copies of all those files again please, plus install and run the free utility Speccy. Send its output to a text file and attach that here please.

If you both disable all mods, can you play together then? That will tell if this is a mod or game issue.  

The developers do not read this forum; if you believe this to be a game bug then please post in that forum for QA to look into, thanks. Attach there a save that shows the problem.

Good luck!  

At least one crash in the AMD video driver there. And did you set the cap I mentioned?

"setting_framerate_cap"={
version=0

}

Uninstall that AMD video driver

Is this in a new campaign started since 1.10.1, or one from a previous patch? Or both?  

Are you on Mac or Windows? If a Macbook, say, you probably have to reconfigure the trackpad gesture for this.  

QA can help only with game bugs, so moved to Tech Support.

Is this save the only one that causes this? Can you start and play a new one okay, under 1.10.1 now?
