I'm getting crashes every game and after they crash, I can never play the save again I thought it was my mods at first but after tuning off all mod it still does it after 50 years of playing the game with mods it will crash after 5 years well with the mod I'm using at least
 
We can't help with modded games here, and disabling mods does not remove effects they have already had on the save game file.

Do you get this problem in a campaign that's never had any mods used in it? If so:


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.
