Why is it that ONLY Victoria 3 makes me have this issue with crashing? Every other game runs smooth and fine while I crash in Victoria 3
It's why I'm getting annoyed with almost every response to these threads blaming the hardware. Even if it is a hardware issue, it's still the developers problem if their game is so sensitive to issues that it crashes if something minor is wrong. I do not have crashing issues with any other game, including other Paradox games including Victoria 2.

Vic2 is a MUCH older game and does not use AVX or AVX2 at all, so naturally will not see this problem. CK3 might. My guess is that, like the 12/13 gen Intel issue, this is actually a game engine-level problem.

@PDX_Sosanna hoping you've been following this discussion - is this something QA and/or the deva are looking into?
 
Seems I am back to more frequent crashes with the 1.5.10 update, including just starting the game WITHOUT loading a save. This is the single most buggy game I own. I play both Cyberpunk 2077 and Skyrim AE, both heavily modded, both stable without CTDs. AND I use Faster HDT in Skyrim which uses AVX2 for physics acceleration.

I agree with this. I have a mod in Skyrim called Faster HDT which accelerates game physics using AVX and AVX2, and I am not getting frequent crashes there. I'll keep submitting bug reports (tho I have not been able to submit an automated crash report in 2 days, the server won't take them).
