1.7.5 savegames won't load on 1.9.2 game version. To play them you need to roll back to the 1.7.x versions using the Beta tab in game properties.
Moving to Tech Support.
I did expect the saved game maybe not to be working. I just used the Crash Reporting tool once it showed up. What worries me more is the freeze that consistently happened afterwards.
Once the game crashed and the Crash Reporter was used and the Report sent, I tried launching the game again cleanly using the game launcher and clicking the Play button, so that I would get loaded to the main menu instead of attemting to load into the "faulty" saved game. The game just would not get to the main menu. After a suspiciously long time where the mouse cursor could still be moved, I tried to load task manager to kill the game's process, but the keyboard input seemed to cause the PC to freeze.
This exact situation happened twice to me yesterday after having used the Crash Reporting tool and attempting to launch the game into the main menu.
I suspect there might be a bug in the game's startup routine after having experienced the game to crash.

That is very strange. Either way, a clean reinstall should help. If we get enough backtrace data from Crash Reporter from other users, the programmers will be able to identify any potential issues with game initialization.
Best regards!

Thanks Sosanna, I'll try that to make sure the game can run under the best conditions.
When uninstalling the game, where are the typical folder locations where leftovers could remain? I mean like caches, temporary files or folders under %appdata% oder %localappdata% where programs often leave remainders after a deinstallation.
If I know in which places to remove some of those leftovers, if there are any, that would make a reinstall as clean as possible.
Kind regards!

Those are stored in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria 3. Deleting the folder (after backing up any needed saves) should clear everything.
