That is not a known symptom of either the Win11 24H2 or Intel CPU issue, in fact IIRC I've never heard of this with this game before.
Do any of the players have an ASUS PC? If so check for a utility GameFirst - if they are running that have them unload it before starting the game. It has been known to cause this with older games, although it would be a first for this game!
Are you saying it you revert to 1.8.x it does not happen? Has it been happening since 1.9.0 , which was back in June?

Correct, I tried back around the last week of June and/or first week of July, and I systemically went back through all available steam versions and opened multiplayer just to be certain, including 1.0.*.
Negative, none of the players, including myself, use any ASUS computer or hardware.
If you have a VPN, try running it up before starting the game.
If not, connect your PC to the internet via a mobile tether/hotspot, just for this test - any different?
And, do you have Windows 11 24H2?

I don't have a VPN, but the hotspot didn't yield a different result
I believe so, yes
Well perhaps this is a new symptom for that problem.

Definitely worth a shot - let me know if that does help you! Note that to test it you don't actually need to use Processor Lasso, just Affinity in Task Manager (for testing purposes anyway).
Good luck!

Potential Windows Freeze workaround
Victorians! We have discovered a possible workaround for those affected by the Windows Freeze issue we have previously mentioned in our 1.9 known issues thread. This method, while it seems to work on our end, needs to be applied every time you...
Good luck!
It unfortunately did not work, even when I turned off some 8/16 cores. Also, I got around to updating my BIOS for my Gigabyte motherboard, and it didn't change anything either, I believe I am well and truly out of options until something else changes. If it would help, I could record a brief video of the process as a visual aid, but other than that I've got nothing else in mind to try.Well perhaps this is a new symptom for that problem.

A video of a game crashing or hanging doesn't help us determine what caused that, I'm afraid!
Do you have a VPN? if so run that up before starting the game, see if that helps. If you don't, connect this PC to the internet via a mobile tether/hotspot, just for this test.
If it still happens then, can you move this PC to another network elsewhere, and/or test with another device on this network?

To determine the cause of a CTD we would need the zipped folder from Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria 3/crashes.
