Summary​

Crash at start or soon after starting a new game

Description​

As the summary says, when I start a new game it lasts for a minute or less and then it crashes to desktop when something happens (usually when I select something that opens or closes a menu). Sometimes it crashes while starting a new game, but the usual is after some time after starting.

Steps to reproduce​

Start a new game and play for a bit

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. IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.

From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log
