No obvious issues there. What fps do you see in the game before it crashes? Anything over 60?

From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log  

Right-click on stellaris.exe, properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullscreen optimizations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply, and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select the fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, refresh rate 60.


If that doesn'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.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log  

Revert to 3.9.2 in the Steam Betas tab for the game. Can you load and play that save then?  

If these are reproducible from a save file, and there are no mods at all in use, please make separate new threads in Bug Reports and attach the problem saves there. Thanks.

That is disappointing, that means you have a different issue to everyone else. Quite what I do not know!


Please do a full **clean** re-install, now the new patch is out:

- move any valued save games elsewhere, and user empire designs.txt from /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ if you have made any custom empires or races.

The stack trace points to libc.so.6 . If you run ./ck3 directly from a terminal command line (in the Steam/ck3/binaries folder) what output do you get?

Is libc up to date? What distro are you on?


Also, is your Steam installation via Flatpack or anything like that? If so you need to use the problem Steam client

Looks like you didn't make the changes I suggested:

"vsync"={
version=0
enabled=yes
}

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

Please do ALL these changes:

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.

AND the dxdiag is incomplete - you probably hit Save All Info to soon. Wait for the green load bar to finish before you d... Read more

Actually I'd like to see the complete copy of each of those files I asked for. Thanks!

Two weeks...
Why don’t you fix the bugs related to launching the game, why are they not a priority?

Did the above workaround not help you?

Have you opted into the beta of the next patch?

Jhofstetter said: I do have a Mac with an Intel processor, even with an i7 core just as mentioned in the game requirements. So the problem would be that my graphics are also Intel?

That is exactly the issue, I'm afraid!

As mentioned above, support for openGL was removed in recent patches for this game and Vic3, which means they will no longer run on that unsupported hardware.

All you can do is revert to the previous 1.10.2 version in the Steam betas tab, or play on some other machine that meets the hardware specs. Also, if you have Ap... Read more

Oops - trying to wrangle too many issues in too many games! Sorry about that.


Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .

Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.

The 1603/1605 errors we see there are typically a previous other installation stuck, or a problem in the Windows update/install processes.

If you see msiexec OR Paradox Launcher running in Task manager-processes, kill it and try this launcher install again please.


If still no good, do you see Paradox Launcher v2 in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall? If so does it uninstall cleanly, or get an error doing that? You can use this MS tool to clear the stuck install/uninstall:

Sorry, my last update was dumb.

Try disconnecting the machine from the internet then starting the game up. Once n the main menu, reconnect the internet. Does that work okay then?
