What if you copy your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/last_save.ck3 game into the /save game/ folder, doe sthat one load okay then?  

Look in your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/ folder. If you see last_save.ck3 there AND you have not since played any other campaign, you can copy that file into the /save game/ folder there and see if it's the one you need.

Good luck!  

CK3.exe is crashing with Windows error c0000374 , I don't have a known cause for that I'm afraid!

Has this game ever worked for you? Or never yet?

I assume EU4 and HOI4 work okay on this machine?

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.

If those folders have been untouched for several game versions, it is possible old or corrupted cache folder contents (under Documents) caused this.

Also in the past a bad mod installation may have mucked up the game's installation folder contents.  

Possibly, let's see where we are at that point.  

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.  

In future please make a new thread rather than re-opening an old one; the launcher and game have changed a lot since 2021.

Was there no cpatch.log file in that folder?

What exactly are you seeing when you hit PLAY in Steam, any error?

Does eu4.app run from Finder okay?  

That would require them to have been back up in Steam somewhere, and I'm sure they don't do that!  

That error log looks bad. There are definitely no mods involved here?

In your clean install, did you make 100% sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again?  

reckons said: I'm having this same issue. Absolute horse sh*t for the game. Makes it completely unplayable and occurs completely randomly. For instance, I have a save that went to 1022, and upon restarting because, why not, the game goes to 927 with the same error.

If the crash is repeatable from a save, best to post a new thread in Bug Reports and attach the save there for QA to look into.

Sorry for that problem!  

I'm pretty sure it is Epic in your case.  

It's a long shot but what if you make a new user in Windows and log into it with that? Any different?  

Hmmm. What if you try that on any other computer you might have access to? This is to see if it is this computer, or perhaps your Epic account that's the problem.

In the Windows Control Panel, enter nVidia in its search box and uninstall everything that finds. I get a total of 6 items of theirs there, for instance.  

Even if they didn't appear in Epic due to some problem there, they ARE Epic achievements, just as all achievements in the Steam version are Steam achievements.

But regardless, as I say I don't know of anything that would cause them to disappear except that console command.

Can you earn any of them again, as a tes? Or is that broken too?  

Aside from being triggered by the game, those achievements are entirely managed by Epic.

Regardless of platform, the only way I know of for achievements to disappear from this game is use of the debug console command for that purpose.


When you say "its became like this", what exactly are you referring to? That video was really too small for me to tell.  

fire_dragon said: uninstall and reinstall, also make sure all your files in your steam folder and deleted. go into apps and uninstall End user run times, then reset and reinstall the game.

this Might help. ive had this issue many of times with EU. paradox and windows have compatibility issue from time to time. also do a windows update and make sure you have newest version of windows updates.

We've already fixed the problem here in this thread, as you can see above a reinstall would not have done it.

I appreciate you trying to help, but ... ! ... Read more

I don't know the answer to your first question, sorry.

If the UI scaler does not do what you want, you'd need to get a mod that does, I think.

Note that this game is over 9 years old now, well before those high resolutions existed!
