Cant start a new game

[Karszsar]

Cant start a new game - game crashes every time.

When loading into the map the game instantly crashes.

Tried to change resolution, exit and enter fullscreen mode, changing the FPS cap, and changing the graphics settings from the highest to the lowest, nothing seems to work.

​

Steps to reproduce: Selecting any nation to play from the recommended ones will load the nation in and after 1-3 secs the game crashes. Same with selecting any nation, the moment the map loads in to allow you to select a nation, it crashes.

Has this game ever worked on this computer? Or never yet?

Right click on victoria3.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.


If those don'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/Victoria3/pdx_settings.json .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log

It has worked before on older hardware but since then I bought a new CPU. The drivers are up to date. I already scrolled through a lot of other tickets and tried the fixed you just listed, sadly no change.

Can I get the dxdiag.txt, plus new copies of those other files since the changes I suggested? Thanks!

Forgot to attach the documents, sadly there is no exceptions.log file.

Ading the required files, also I can't seem to find the dxdiag.txt file anywhere.

You need to create it, in the way I described above. Thanks!
