Cause was resolved over Discord -- AVG antivirus deleting the exe file
Was fun playing with you!

Hello,

Could you copy the lines in your ZXLog file after the game got frozen or crashed and before launching it again?

This file usually is in the path Documents/My Games/They are billions.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi again

Have you tried to check the integrity of your file installation? Use right button on the name of the game in your STEAM library, propierties, local files, check the integrity.

Do you use Radeo software?

Do you use After Burner or Riva-Tuner Statistics Server?

Hello!

@distinctmint fixed the problem updating the gpu drivers. Have you tried it?

On the other hand, have you checked if you have any kind of real time scanner from your antivirus that maybe can be blocking the game?

Thanks in advance.

Was just getting into this game - now all my progress for the last hour+ is gone and it won't let me play. Drivers up to date, Windows up to date. I've done all the stupid things.

Save option is not an option, so please, could you copy the lines in your ZXLog file after the crash to check if we can see where the problem is.

Thanks.

did yo usee anything wrong with my log files?


Hi,

No, your ZXLog file looks totally normal. Only it's little strange that you got the crash when you were choosing the mayor.

Anyway, with your new OS Windows 10, do you use After Burner or Riva-Tuner Statistics Server or Radeon Software?

But every time the game crash is after a mayour selection?

Have you check the integrity of your game files? (Right mouse button on the name of the game in your STEAM library, Propierties, Local files, Chek the file integrity)

Hey! I'm sorry to read you're facing crashes so often. We don't seem to have any known issues that relate to this behaviour, but we can investigate for you.

How long has this issue been affecting you?

I can see you have discussed this issue already and there look to have been 4 support cases created. If we do need to return back to a support case, please focus on 1 otherwise we may unintentionally repeat troubleshooting steps with you.

After reviewing your MsInfo report I can see a lot of crashes in there. Here are some suggestions that I hope will help -

- If you are not using it, uninstall DS4Windows. It is constantly crashing and could be conflicting with Rainbow Six Siege.

- I also noticed you have Overwolf installed. In our experience, overlay software can conflict with our games and cause crashes. Try temporarily disabling it to see if that helps.

- Similar to the above step, please try disabling background applications: https://support.ubisoft.com/faqs/000025721/

I hope that helps, but let me know how it goes!

Unable to launch the game on Xbox Game Pass

For some reason, CK III stopped launching on Xbox Game Pass. Even this morning, it was still working. Now I click on "Play" on the Paradox Launcher, it loads a little, then turns off. Does anyone have a similar problem? forum.paradoxplaza.com forum.paradoxplaza.com
Good luck with that!

dannazgui said: Hey, nothing of that worked for me.......

I don't understand what caused this, since I have been playing since launch ( some 100 hours already)

I hope the next updates fix this issue, I'm using the game through Steam...
Sorry about that, I should have seen that didn't apply to you.

If you run ck3.exe without Steam running does this still happen? You may have a corrupted save gme in the Steam cloud, if so.

Does it also happen with the launch options -noWorkshop and -disableMods in place?

How To Set Launch Options
  • Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
  • Enter the launch options you wish to apply in the box (be sure to separate each code with a space) and click OK. Should look like this:
    -noWorkshop -disableMods
  • Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.

The launch options isn't a permanent solution. It's a way to narrow down where the problem is, so we can find a solution that works for you. You mentioned the game crashes on the main menu for you as well, if it doesn't with the launch options, try starting a new city to see if that loads up fine. Let us know if it works just fine or if it crashes again like that.

Hi, could you offer the crash report and logfile and share it on some cloud drive so that we can fetch them?

For log:
Make your way to game installation folder/logfile. Here you can find all logs with the timestamps, you then can remember when the issue happened and send all possible logs to me.

For crash report:
Make your way to C:\Users\Your username\AppData\Local\Temp\duoyi\Gunfire Reborn\Crashes. You can also find there're multiple folder within.(Make sure hidden files are shown in the Windows setting)

Originally posted by Zeritel: Thanks for the followup.

To try and make it simpler I cleared out all my old logs and just started a fresh session.

The session is like i described above. Game froze for some time, then after a short while i was able to move around, but not interact with anything. There was no associated crash file.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OJ7PM8mYqC6LaNdGCtEOOT6t4x6hQWRu/view?usp=sharing
thanks. we'd like to investigate into it...
In this fresh run, did the game crash afterwards?
You mention that you cannot interact with anything. Do you mean you press F and nothing happens in front of a chest/peddler/craftsman/vault portal etc.? (without any prompt/item selection/entering the next stage)

Originally posted by Zeritel: Just curious if there's anything I can do on my end to try and resolve the issue? or any updates regarding a fix?
Hello, sorry for delay response. Have you encountered any crash or just "freeze and cannot interact after freeze" issue?
over 3 years ago - Gunfire Reborn - Direct link
Originally posted by Zeritel: There was one before i cleared out all my logs...but generally it's just this freeze and cannot interact scenario
We have identified an issue where it can cause freeze, and will have a patch ready shortly.
over 3 years ago - Gunfire Reborn - Direct link
Originally posted by Zeritel: Perfect looking forward to it.

One additional point that I discovered, which may be helpful. Is that after the game has frozen, and entered the part where i can move but cant interact, if my friends interact with the portal to go over to the next zone (the one with the 30 second countdown) then i'll get a loading screen over to the zone and the game will recover.
Do you mean if your friend interact with the portal, you can see the loading screen right when they presses F and you can interact with others once loading is completed?

Hey @The-Reaper

if you haven’t already, please submit a ticket through to Support so we can look into this further for you.
If you can attach any relevant videos or screenshots to the ticket, that will also be extremely helpful!

Everyone having crashes, please send an e-mail to [email protected] with your client (and if you play on singleplayer ALSO your server) logs: https://github.com/StrangeLoopGames/EcoIssues/wiki/Getting-the-Eco-server-and-client-log-files-for-local-world

I'll take a look on these then.
over 3 years ago - SLG-Dennis - Direct link
I received several reports after posting my request and most of them were releated to outdated graphics drivers. Please make sure to have the _newest_ graphics driver, as 9.4 uses an updated Unity version. Graphics drivers for NVIDIA back from April for example are already too old.

You can send all further crashes you experience to the mail I mentioned above if updating your drivers didn't help.

Hey there @nannywarbucks ,

Thank you for reaching out to us, sorry to hear you're experiencing crashes!

I've been able to locate the case you created and check your files and have a few further steps for you to try.

Checking your GPU drivers, they do appear outdated (unless the DxDiag was generated before you updated them, in which case could you please provide a fresh DxDiag file?).

You can download the latest driver for your GPU on the AMD site here.

I've also noticed a multitude of other program crashes, namely Armoury Agent.

Could you please perform a System File Scan on your PC, to ensure your OS and System is healthy and no core files are missing or corrupted.

Please let us know how you get on with these and update your case with new files should the issue then continue so we can take a further look.

Thank you!

Thanks for the update @nannywarbucks !

Taking another look, I can see that you run Overwolf on your PC.

This program has been known to cause software conflicts in the past so for testing could you please uninstall Overwolf before retrying the game and let us know if there's any change?

about 3 years ago - Ubi-TheBerry - Direct link

Thanks for letting me know @nannywarbucks , sorry to hear that also hasn't done the trick.

If you could upload a new MSinfo to your case, just so we can view it with Overwolf visibly uninstalled and we'll go onto further steps.

about 3 years ago - Ubi-TheBerry - Direct link

Hey @nannywarbucks ,

Thank you for getting back to us, that's fantastic to hear!

Glad to know you're finally back up and running!

If there's ever anything more we can help with at all, please don't hesitate to get back in touch here or via your case.

Take care!

about 3 years ago - Ubi-TheBerry - Direct link

Oh no @NannyWarbucks , I'm sorry to hear that was so short lived!

Let's have another crack at it!

Do you have both the game and Ubisoft Connect installed on the same drive?

It may also be worth checking the %TEMP% files for the game as well as clearing them.

And I'd also recommend monitoring your PC's CPU / GPU usage and temperatures while the game runs until it crashes, to see if there's any temperature or usage spikes.

Let us know how you get on with these!

@nightmarepet If you have tried what inxcognito suggested, can you confirm if rolling back your GPU drivers has resolved the issue with the game crashing?

Unfortunately, we cannot offer technical support for modded games and I cannot forward this to the developers without first making sure that mods aren't causing the problems. Please read our full statement regarding modding related issues.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/261550/discussions/17/2968397584539419311/
Can you try removing all of your mods by performing a clean install following the instructions on the below article and try to recreate this on an unmodded new campaign?
https://steamcommunity.com/app/261550/discussions/17/2968397584539744282/
As save files remain altered and some leftover mod files remain even after deleting the mods, a clean install and creating a new campaign is necessary to see if the problem is isolated to the modded game or if it's a problem from our end.
Alternatively, I can move this thread to the General Discussions board where the community might help with which mod is or isn't compatible with the game's current version, or you can contact the mod developers.

Hey @louandrew,

Sorry to hear that you are encountering this crashing issue.

You mentioned you have already followed some troubleshooting, can I check what steps you have already tried so that we don't cover steps you have already attempted?

Many thanks,

over 2 years ago - Ubi-SpaceCats - Direct link

@louandrew Sorry to hear this. Could you have a look at our Basic PC Troubleshooting guide, making sure to verify your game files?
 
 
Another important step to take when you're experiencing these crashes is to make sure that your game and launcher(s) are on the same drive, preferably the hard drive.
 
If after you've gone through the steps, you're still having issues with performance, please reach out to us via one of the methods below with copies of your MSINFO and DXDiag. Please include a brief description of your issue.
 
If you're contacting us through Twitter or Facebook, make sure to also include your Ubisoft username and email address when submitting your ticket, so that we can ensure we're looking at the correct account.

Hi @ondra-kudrna159 I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing crashes whilst playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

Could you take a look at the PC troubleshooting article and run through all the steps listed then try again. The support article contains some of the most common fixes for crashes, freezing, FPS drops and more.

Please confirm if this resolves the issue.

Hey there @Locoplaya92,

I understand you're experiencing crashes since the release of the latest DLC of Anno 1800. To attempt to resolve this issue, I'd recommend following all the steps from this article, regarding the troubleshooting of technical issues on PC. These should help your PC run the game smoothly 😊

Firstly, please perform a "Check and Repair" and see if that helps you. Sometimes an install has a weird file or whatever and a checkover can find the issue.

You can find it here on the Launcher:


If you still have issues, please contact Customer Support!

We are aware and are working on it. Leaving the sound turned ON after you reinstalled should help in the meantime. Additionally, not using any apps that play sound (looking at you, Spotify) seems to help as well.
