I am currently playing the game right now, and it crashes every 10 mins. I’m playing as the new Polabia kingdom. Should be running all of my downloadable content do you think? I’ve done everything you did expect turning off northern lords and the Arab fashion DLC. I really I hope I don’t have to treat this game like Civ 6 when it comes to DLC by turning them off lol
Just crashed again. It also makes me restart the privacy policy and asks if I want a tutorial when I don’t one lol. Please put out a patch ASAP ROCKY
From what I've read and gathered from talking to others experiencing it they still have constant issues due mainly to the update so until the Devs make a patch it's just unplayable. Mine is acting the same way cant got more than 10 minutes without a crash. I heard that unlinking and relinking your paradox account helps with the crashes so I'm gonna try that when I get home from work.
i unlinked my account but never relinked. Let us know here if that works!

Okay so follow up. I have deleted, all old saves. reinstalled the game, and relinked my Paradox account. Still experiencing a lot of crashes the second I try to access anything related to the DLC. Frame rate and graphics drop drastically and a lot of the characters look like they did before the last update with the graphics taking a hit. Sometimes you can't select your childs education trait leaving you with bad heirs if you can make it that far. So far the longest playthrough I got to do was about an hour. I was a count in East Francia and never went to court or diverged culture. Also Haesteinn doesn't have the option to Invade Kingdom anymore which sucks.

And I completely deleted the game, issued a refund for the Royal Court and discovered Age of Empires 2. I connected the mouse and keyboard and I'm sitting high. Here is where everything is done with the mind. A bunch of settings, play as you want - you want on the gamepad, you want with the mouse. There are even graphics settings. And with this game, everything is on pause for now ... until better times.

How unfortunate :( I hope the devs get on this quickly. Literally the only game I can play because Civ 6 refuses to get fixed and Humankind is still delayed. Can a man just dominate the world from his couch in peace? Please? I get it’s a game port issue or whatever it is for some of these games but AHHHH!!!!
 
Hello Crusaders!

Today we're thrilled to release free Update 9 for Crusader Kings III: Console Edition, as well as the first major expansion to the game: Royal Court. You can find a non-exhaustive list of changes introduced with this update below.

The Royal Court is in session!​

  • Kings and Emperors now have access to their own Royal Court. A fully realised 3D throne room that houses your ruler, their courtiers, family and vassals.
    • There are four distinct styles dependent on your culture, as well as variations depending on your court grandeur.
    • Grandeur is now an important part of the court. Increase it to reap large diplomatic benefits, unlock new Council Jobs, gain special Traits, and more. Just make sure to manage your courtiers’ expectations or they may revolt against you for not providing the right amenities.
    • There are four distinct categories of Amenities. Increasing their level will increase your grandeur and the happiness of your courtiers.
    • The type of court you have can change depending on your own cultural ethos. Each of these types will grant you benefits that scale alongside your grandeur.
    • Court Languages are now available. Choose which language should be spoken within your court. Either choose the language of a grander court, leeching off their grandeur to your own, or propagate the language you like and reap the benefits of having others adopt it.
    • Invite vassals and subjects to air their grievances in front of the throne. Increase your grandeur and gain different benefits as you arbitrate on various problems and challenges.
      • If you have a liege of your own, take the time to pay homages in gold to him, or petition for their help in all kinds of matters of state.
    • Court artifacts have been added to the game. Collect legendary artifacts and decorate your throne room with them to increase your grandeur and gain additional benefits.
    • Experience life at court with unique events that will take place within the walls of the throne room.
  • You can now inspire other characters to make new artifacts. Fund their great works of art and daring expeditions to gain artifacts from masterwork swords and opulent crowns to the Ark of the Covenant.
  • In addition, other Artifact related actions have been added to the game:
    • Commission an artifact (as long as you have an Antiquarian),
    • Challenge a Ruler for an Artifact you have a claim on.
    • Start a Scheme to steal an Artifact you have a claim on.
  • An Inventory system has been added to the game. Characters can now carry Artifacts on their person. Equip weapons, armour, regalia, headgear, and up to four trinkets.
    • The new Artifacts have durability and a history that confirms who has claim over them.
  • Royal court brings with it a plethora of new court positions, some of which only available when certain conditions are met. Hire a Personal Champion to protect you on your day to day or hire a Food Taster to make sure your food is up to standard.
  • New Council Tasks have been added to the game, like Promote Cultural Acceptance (Steward) and Manage Royal Guards (Marshal).
  • The culture system has been completely overhauled. They are now made up of several different components, making each and every one unique:
    • Acceptance: Cultures now have acceptance scores with all other cultures, which determines how well they get along.
    • Ethos represents the spirit of each culture. This determines the baseline of the cultural acceptance and which traditions are easier or harder to adopt.
    • Traditions give each culture a unique flair. Each has their own modifiers, changes to rules, interactions, and more.
  • On top of the new components, cultures can also be Hybridised, diverged and reformed.
    • Hybrid cultures are a melding of two cultures together, creating a new one with aspects of both. You can pick and choose between pillars and traditions to create something that will thrive.
    • Diverge culture to break away from your culture by selecting a new ethos and changing your traditions to fit your current situation.
    • Reform a culture by changing existing traditions, ethos, or pillars over a long period of time.
  • A new Dynasty Legacy Path has been added to the game: Customs. This path focuses on peaceful coexistence and the running of a prosperous multicultural realm.
  • New Portrait assets have been added to the Barbershop, such as the Iron crown of Lombardy, the Crown of Justinian and the Sassanid Crown.
  • Personal languages have been added to the game. Your ruler is now able to learn a number of languages outside their own. Knowing someone’s languages reduces any of their opinion penalties towards you.
  • New Men-At-Arms have been added to the game, like the Monaspa heavy cavalry, and the Nile Archers.
  • You can now change the name of your ruler. Pick from a list of names or give them your own original name.
  • New character animations have been added to the game.
  • You can now change the map colour of titles you are allowed to rename.
  • You can now pick the map colour of your new faith when you create a new one.
  • The Gardener trait has been added to the list of Character Traits.
  • The Coat of Arms Designer has been added to the game. You can now design your very own Coat of Arms and apply it to your House, Dynasty, and/or Title. Adjust existing designs, create new ones from scratch, or randomise a design.

We hope you enjoy this latest update, and we're looking forward to hearing the stories you create across the Middle Ages!
This is a completely broken game now and I’m genuinely upset I don’t even try to find forums and post but I actually love this game and I’m very upset that I paid 35 bucks and got a broken game

I fully support. That's why we play on consoles. PC gaming hasn't appealed to me for a long time. I bought the game for the 3rd time on PS5 before the release of Royal Court, expecting an update to be released and all the flaws would be fixed. And as a result, we got a beta test.

Ooh wow.. I had no idea, but the new version 1.017 introduced several serious NEW issues, so things are even worse now.

What's wrong with Civ 6? I never had a single issue with that game. It shall be noted I joined that party quite late (a few years ago).

The stories of serious bugs and gamebreaking issues... 1.017 introduced several new serious issues.

This is extremely bad... As much as I like the game and Paradox, it's just not playable in this condition. It's critical.

And I was most upset by the lack of a coat of arms editor during the game as it is implemented on a PC, the creation of my own coat of arms only when creating my own character is a complete nonsense

At least for me, I can’t play the DLC content on Civ 6. Bugs out the farther I go into the game like the modern era. The only way I can play it is with standard rules. Like I don’t want to play the vanilla game so yeah I gave up on it. CK3 tho for consoles has a great chance to become the strategy game to play, IF, they fix what they just broke with this new update
 
Actually, this is a very good point. Paradox have to understand console players. Bugs and such are generally unacceptable on console, and if they are found, expected to be fixed asap. Console players expect well functioning games (almost to perfection).

It's futile to release new content if there are serious bugs in the game. First fix the bugs, then release new content.

To be honest, I think they did a real great job at making the interface work well for console, something which is generally very difficult with strategy games, but there are still a few things that could/should be improved.

I'm in the same camp as you. I really like Paradox for bringing console ports, and their games. But, they have to understand console players have higher standards, actually. This is why Paradox should freeze all kind of new release stuff on console and just focus on getting the game polished correctly. The interface is great, but a few polishes and it's perfect. Bugs are unacceptable, and the game needs to reach a very high standard on console (like Cities:Skylines). So they should just focus 100% on fixing any bugs they find and polish the game to a very high standard. Otherwise they misunderstand the market. You can't have a buggy game on consoles.

New releases makes me furious, when there are so many known bugs and problems that haven't been addressed. How can you even think about releasing new content without addressing those things? It's disrespectful and a show of not understanding the market.

I thought Paradox DID understand the console market (After playing Cities:Skylines), but perhaps I was wrong?
I completely agree, this is why I moved away from many years PC gaming and only use consoles now. To me it was easier to go yes I have a Xbox/ps2/Xbox 360/ps4/ps5 and know I can play the game then to read through the pc requirements for processor, RAM, graphics card. And for a long time except for expansions and extra content console games largely worked. I did not have to worry about updates or patches. Nor did I need to download separate launchers or create additional accounts to play a game .

Yeah the most likely time frame will most likely be a few months down the road. The first tag in their bio is that they're hiring so it's not looking good.
In fact, I'm pretty sure they have no experience in developing really big and high quality games, most likely this is their first experience in porting such a game.

Hello. X Box S here.

The game is literally unplayable since the release of the DLC. The game crashes every 10-15 minutes. And I lose everytime my save. Iron man save every month doesn't seem to work anymore.

I'm at the point at stopping playing this game, while I played every day before the DLC. Hope it will be resolved very soon.

I’m an Xbox S too. Finding it really frustrating that it crashes anytime after I get to Kingdom level… which is kinda key to actually using Royal Court.
