As the title says, my CK3 experience has been disrupted by now perma-crashing during the launch screen after 25-ish hours of otherwise bug free gameplay. Since I updated my windows this morning I have infuriatingly been unable to launch CK3 succesfully. I have tried all the remidies suggested on this forum and reddit (updating c++, uninstalling/reinstall, verify game cache, disabling antivirus, running in admin mode, but so far I have only been able to succesfully launch the game with cloud saves turned off suggesting my save files somehow corrupted launch. Downloading the cloud save of my ironman and loading the game up seemed to work and I continued my ironman save. The game even said it was autosaving as ironman saves usually do, however, I found out later that none of my progress had actually been saved losing about an hour of unfortunately decent progress. Being unable to launch the game with cloud saving seemingly means I have lost access my previous progress and apperently making me unable to succesfully save any of my progress in any game regardless of it being an old or new save, seemingly if it is set to ironman the game wont save as it is supposed to. I have no idea how to fix this issue, even the crash report bugs out and fails when I try to submit it. Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue with my best campaign (steam crashed during a save to cloud corrupting the file) - is there any way to roll back a cloud version to a backup or fix this issue? OP: How did you manually download the cloud file?
 
Samehere, Ironman on cloud breaks game. Also why I can't play Ironman offline?
Should be fine playing Ironman without cloud saves. I disabled the cloud saves on my Ironman game and it saves the Ironman save files locally without any problems as far as I can tell. I haven't gotten an achievement yet to verify that's working properly, but as it still shows as being Ironman, it should work fine.

Indeed, there should be no problem using local saves with Ironman.

I'm also having this exact same problem you've described.

But then how I fix my problem I can't even start the game that crashes and I read its due to cloud?
I'm not sure I'm following you here. If you have cloud saves enable in Ironman, I'm afraid this problem will keep happening.

If you use local saves you have an unrelated problem.

If you can't even start the game at all, that is nothing to do with cloud saves obviously.

What is your exact problem please?
 
For those who have apparently lost cloud saves, please check out this process that may be able to rescue them:

Only use local saves until we can fix this cloud save problem.

Sorry about that!
 
Same here, glad (although sorry) to see it’s happening to others and it’s not my computer. I have two Ironman games, my primary playing as the Hvitserk Dynasty and on auto save, the game crashes

Here I described the problem with videos.
