In future please don't "me too" post in someone else's thread - you have a completely unrelated problem and that makes the thread confusing for everyone. Thanks.

We now think this is an issue with dual CPU systems.
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G4400 @ 3.30GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.3GHz

CPU or GPU slightly below the minimum requirements should not cause a crash like this. If that is confirmed there will be a hotfix soon to address that problem.

Sorry about that!

In the meantime you can revert the game to version 1.03 in the Steam Betas tab for the game, which does not have that problem.
 
Here they are
You are getting hangs and crashes in Steam, CK3, and the launcher - something is really wrong in this machine! Hard to say what though.

If you run the Windows Updater app does it find anything to apply?

Please go here:
and run the x64 and x86 installers from there.

Then run this repair tool:

Good luck with all that!

Ok! I will get back to you once all of this is done.

Doing the DISM atm. I think it will take a while so I will probably leave it on while I sleep and write you tomorrow.

Alright so I did what you said. No problems seems to have occurred. If there was any corruption, it should now be repaired. I also bothered making a sfcdetails.txt log.

I don't really understand what's in it but maybe it would help you guys.


Still the same crash though...

There's nothing of diagnostic use in that log.

Let's do a clean reinstall of Steam, game and launcher, as they are all crashing.


- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- exit the Steam app entirely
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox/CK3 folders
- 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.

- delete everything in the Steam folder EXCEPT steam.exe and the SteamApps folder
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user, to rebuild all that
- 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

I am finished with all of this now. Still get the same crash on startup.
 
I don't suppose the 1.1.3 patch helped?
 
I tried to unplug any device as well. Including any extra screen. Made no change.

Could some other game that's installed cause the crash?

I know the Easy anti cheat program from Fatshark that they use in Vermintide 2 etc can cause problems. It causes my Vermintide 2 to crash when i tab out for example.

I've never come across a case like that but it's not impossible I suppose.

That caused a problem with Steel Division, as I recall, but no other Paradox game so far as I know.

How do you feel about a Windows Reset or complete wipe and reinstall? A lot to ask to get a game going, I know, but I'm running out of other ideas!

Honestly. It wouldn't be that much of a project cause I already have everything that's important to me backed up. But I might not do it tonight. I'll get back to you when I have done it!
 
Alright, i have done it now. It was probably for the best anyhow, My pc needed a reinstall. But its did not help unfortunately. Still getting the same crash.

I tried to install CK3 before any other game so there shouldn't be any interference from other programs
 
Can we get new dxdiag.txt and the other text files from before, please?
 
Here you go Sir
