I can confirm I have the exact same issue. Was working fine for a few hours after the update and now it crashes every time with the same errors in the log.

If it helps I'm on the xbox game pass version not steam.

[Edit]
Added may last save as well.

[The Experience]

Same exact issue for me. Here are my files.

 

[TheUnspeakable]

Saves started in 1.5.X and earlier are not compatible with 1.6.

Since you have opened them in 1.6, they may be irreparably corrupted, but if they are not you need to roll back to 1.5.1.1 to play that save.

Step 1. In steam right click on CK III in the game list and select Properties.
Step 2. Click Betas and then select 1.5.1.1 from the drop down.
Step 3. Click DLC and uncheck Fate of Iberia and Fashion of the Abbasid Court

The game should then download an update. Play the game as normal.

To play with the new patch, in Betas, select None and reselect FOI and FotAC, then let the update redownload.

 

[Asprika]

Hey guys!

This report has been added to our database. Thanks for reaching out to us and helping us to get rid of these bugs. Just hang tight as our team work on it!
Have a nice day!

 

[The Experience]

That is a real bummer. I did see the splash screen that gave a warning about it not being compatible, but I really wish there was more of a warning with instructions on how to avoid it instead of just a button that says 'Okay' so you actively destroy your several hour long save file.

I get this and would have happily rolled back if that was an option. Unfortunately, rolling back is not an option for those of us on the xbox gamepass platform on PC. The xbox gamepass platform does not have any way to downgrade versions or prevent upgrades like the steam platform does.

[Edit]
All that being said I guess technically I hijacked a steam users thread trying to cut down on duplicate reports. I'll reply to @Asprika as well and see if they want a new thread opened.

No need to open a new thread as it is also similar to this issue. For some reason, your save does result to crash aswell after loading it. Rest assured it is being investigated already. Just hang tight as our team work on it.

I have the exact same problem.
I started my campaign in 1.5.X don't remember exactly which version but i've been playing this campaign in 1.6 for a some time now without any issues. I can't go back to 1.5.X since all my current files are 1.6 and I cant access them and since I couldn't access the 1.5.x files from the current version anyway (this was before the issue arose) I simply deleted them since there were a lot of them.

 

[Ethlas]

Also getting the same error:

 

[mabi213]

Was hoping 1.6.0.1 would fix this, but it didn't. Time to play some other games. Again.

 

[Mulbinde]

Hopefully it will get fixed. Disappointing to put some 100+ hours since febuary into my latest "campaign" and now not being able to proceed. Next patch, next try if ever.

 

[TheUnspeakable]

Pdx has said that this is working as intended. Any attempt to convert the old saves to the new system would more than double the work on the patches and greatly decrease both the quantity and quality of any game updates. They are working with MS and Sony to find a way to allow downgrading of game versions on Game Pass and consoles.

 

[Skaank]

Same exact issue for me - started happening today in my case.. Not able to play anymore.. Btw my save is in last version 1.6.0.1 so unfortunatelly downgrading to beta 1.5.1.1 didn´t help. Paradox pls for help!

So what you're really saying is we should stop auto-updating. Because downgrading after you find out your save's broken doesn't work either.

 

[Mcgan]

So what you're really saying is we should stop auto-updating. Because downgrading after you find out your save's broken doesn't work either.

Yeah. If you're playing a save from an older version of the game, you should only update when you're done with that save.

Or you can read the dev diaries and see if the devs mention incompatibilities. But in general, there shouldn't be any problem with minor updates.
For example, 1.6.x saves should always be fine with any 1.6.x version of the game. Usually, not always.

Yes

Because downgrading after you find out your save's broken doesn't work either.

This is how paradox games have long worked

 

[Skaank]

Game starts also in version 1.6.0.1 - no idea where the trouble is. I am playing ironmode so makes sense that the save is always the latest version I guess.

No as in which patch did you begin your campaign in
