Crash at "loading flags"

[giovy45]

Hi there

Sorry to bother you, but I'm currently having repeated crashes at the loading screen, when the bar says "loading flags". That began about a week ago, and at first I thought that the fault was of some mod that I was trying to play with, so i tried without them, and the game crashed again at the same point. I looked then it out on the internet and then I saw, watching also the "error" log, that probably was fault of the TGA files on documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings/gfx/flags folder. I tried then to restart the game after having deleted the gfx folder, so, since that didn't work, uninstalling CKII, both deleting the folder in "Paradox Interactive" and in "steamapps", but it again crashed at "loading flags" for the same problem.

Now I really don't know what to do and I was hoping that you who are more expert could help me sorting out what kind of problem I'm having on my game, so, if you can, please help me. Iam also attaching the error an exceptions log, if that could help.

Ah and I am also sorry if I did some horrible errors texting, because I'm not an english native speaker.

[virtualfilesystem.cpp: 711]: Could not open file: gfx / flags / flagfiles_0.tga, error: The specified file could not be found.

You are having some file system access problem. The usual cause is your antivirus app.

Add steam.exe and ck2game.exe to its Exceptions list, plus the folder Documents/paradox/ck2/ and all its child folders.

Thank you very much! I actually don't know why i wasn't able to think about the antivirus.

Anyway now CKII works well and I should really thank you for the assistance you gave me,

i am having this problem and the above answer didnt hep are there any other possible issues, i have both added the exe and folders to the exceptions list and even uninstalled my protection and it still crashes at flags.

Try deleting the folder Documents/paradox/ck2/gfx/flags/ only, and let the game recreate it.
