Heya KassieJerboa,

Thanks for reporting this! To investigate further, I'll need more information. Could you please upload your crash logs? You can find them here:
"Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/crashes"

Attach the latest crash report, along with your game version and any mods you’re using (if applicable). This will help us track down the issue!

Let me know once you've done that. Hope you have a lovely day!

Having the same problem on 867. It generates a folder for the day, but there is nothing in the folder. I'll work on trying to get one.

EDIT: Briefly got it to work, but then it crashed again, no crash log generated.
Edit 2: Don't know about OP, but I'm on 1.16, 4afe

I see. If I may ask, what operating system you're using? If it's Windows 11, could you try changing the renderer in the launcher/graphics settings to Vulkan (From DirectX)

Have the same situation. Vulkan doesnt help (win11)

Can you try resetting your games settings? You can access it by going to "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\"
Delete the CK3 folder and then re-launch the game.

I'll give that a try. When I can get it to play it tends to crash during auto saves every few years. Probably a seperate problem, but my gut tells me it might just be the same hardware interaction. And it's not generating any crash logs at all.

EDIT: Swapping to Vulkan after deleting the folder is just sitting on initializing game... Going on about five minutes now. Took about seven minutes but it got me to the main screen and I was able to play for 17 years before an autosave crash.

Reporting the same issue on my laptop, crash straight to desktop, no error report

 

[KassieJerboa]

I managed to get it to work, by... verifying the files, again. Now it just works fine.

Did you have broken files?

After the update yesterday, Vulkan doesn't crash at all anymore on load in (Before it was about 50% of the time it crashed). DX11 still doesnt load in fully for me, but still an improvement.
