You have several problem mods in that error log. Does this also happen to a campaign that's never had any mods used in it?

Are these Steam Cloud saves perhaps? If so, what if you do local saves instead?

When using Steam MP, all traffic goes via the Steam servers - being on the same network doesn't change anything.

But from what you say this seems like an issue on that 5GHz wifi network rather than a game or Steam problem. Have you rebooted or reset that router?

Is it that you can never hit the PLAY button then?

If so, try a Steam Flush Config

Has it always been like this for you, or it was okay up to some point?


If it used to be okay, 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.



If those don't help of its always been like this:

Error log is empty.
Temperature remains unchanged.
Does this issue also affect say CK2, EU4, HOI4 or Stellaris?


What actual temps do you see when the game is running so poorly?


At least part of your problem is this machine only has a Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 video system, which is well below the required Intel® Iris Pro™ 580 / Intel® Iris® Plus G7

Ironman doesn't actually do autosaves as such, rather what you might call a forced manual save.

Can you duplicate this with a non-Ironman game, with either manual or autosaves?

And, has it always happened for you with this game? Or it was okay up to some point?

And finally, does local or cloud saving make any difference to the problem?

If your launcher says 2022.14 it is the latest, and you can ignore that error.

Your machine has only 6gb of memory, which is the bare minimum to run this game at all. I'll guess the game is having to swap in and out of your Windows paging file.

First please update that nVidia driver to Nov 2022 https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Unload GeForce Experience if running, plus every other app you can to free up memory.

THEN Right click on ck3.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launche... Read more

This may be a bug in the launcher, which seems to require MacOS 12 now. Were you at all thinking of updating MacOS? If so please do that and confirm for me that it helps, then I can report that to the developers.

Please try this:

- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam
OR
- exit the Epic app entirely
- run EpicGamesLauncher.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the Epic client

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

Alablm said: think its possible the steam install was missing some files
The Steam Verify operation you did should have fixed that. Yo could try changing to a different Steam download region I guess, so the game comes from a different Steam server.
