It is extremely bad I have to agree! There must be somethign different on this computer that triggers this behaviour by the game, but I'm just not seeing it.

Pretty much every other case I've seen has been connected with doing autosaves.

I would suggest it be on C: though, if as I think D: is an external drive. That really makes no difference at all?


What CPU and GPU temperatures do you see in the main game menu, then when this problem starts happening?  

Haumah said: how to activate local saves

When you start a new Ironman game there is a tick box where you choose local or cloud.


You may be able to recover your save with this process:

Are you having any other issues with this machine?

+++ WER7 +++:
Fault bucket LKD_0x144_INVALID_TRANSFER_EVENT_PTR_ED_0_DUPLICATE_USBXHCI!TelemetryData_CreateReport_VEN_1B21_DEV_2142_REV_00_FW_160906500200, type 0
Event Name: LiveKernelEvent

Is the game installed on C: or some other drive?

That aside I don't see what in that machine could be causing this for you!  

Can I see new log and dxdiag files please.

Ironman should not be a problem as such but cloud saves are. Make sure you are saving locally only, until that is fixed!


Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)
1/ before starting the game up and
2/ after say 10 minutes' play.
If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install
SPEEDFAN http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php  

I assume the game is installed on C: not that external D: drive?

That aside I see nothing in those files to explain why this is happening to you, I'm sorry!

Please try this:

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

Delete the following folders if still present:

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

I don't know then, that definitely helped others with similar issues.

You've basically already tried everything I would normally suggest!

DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). 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 your Documents/Paradox/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/CK3/logs/ folder, attach system.log , error.log  

Can you try updating that video driver?

Don't see much else in there to look at!  

You might ask that of the launcher developers here:

New launcher version : 2020.11

Is it that time already? Yes, yes it is. As 2020.10 was slightly delayed it's already time for 2020.11. New stuff Mod details (description and tags) are visible when h... Read more

If you disable autosaves as a test, does that help the problem?

Darthyorke said: Hi, since I started playing (I'm playing on Xbox Game Pass), the initial loading screen just after launching the game is taking from 10-25 minutos, it's getting ridiculous.
Is there an issue regarding Xbox game pass players?

My specs are:
Windows 10 updated
16gb ram 3000mhz
I7-7700K 4.2Ghz
GTX 1070 8GB

Please any solutions?

That is not the general experience for Xbox or Steam in fact. For me from hitting PLAY in our launcher to the main game menu takes just over 1 minute. And i just have an i5, GTX 1060,... Read more

Delete the following folders if still present:

- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user

- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam

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

Note that you can run ck3.exe directly from Windows Explorer, which bypasses the launcher.

There is a logged bug where the game does not honour the refreshRate set in pds_settings.txt . Until that is fixed i suggest you use GeForce Experience or Catalyst to limit the frame rate to, say, 60hz.

Sorry about that!  

revenfett said: Further, I have seen multiple reports from Mac users here and on reddit saying they are getting the game to run well in Mac OS on similar and worse spec’d machines than what I have

Well that's interesting! And unexpected I have to say ... any further details on that?  

jjjnagy said: I use BootCamp with my MacMini (with eGPU), and CK3 runs *perfectly* on Windows, but when I switch back to Mac (OS 15.15.5), it's stuttery and has low FPS. The hardware is exactly the same, so it must be how CK3 runs on the operating system?

Hardware specs:
5600XT (6GB), i7-8700, 32 GB RAM

Note: this is true, to an extent, with all Paradox games in my experience (i.e., just runs better on a Windows with the precise same specs), but it's very very apparent in CK3, so I would guess there's a more serious issue at play

It is not the case that you can exp... Read more

If there are mods involved I'm afraid we cannot help here. Does this also happen in a save where no mods have ever been used?
