Crash after press the button "Play" in launcher

Description​

This has been happening since yesterday. First I was using DirectX with no problem until it started freezing my computer, so I changed to Vulkan by some advice in steam and reboot the game. Then it started crashing to desktop when press button "play".

Steps to reproduce​

1. Change directx to vulkan
2. Reboot game

Game Version​

1.9.2

You don't have the problem Windows 11 24H2 version, so the Vulkan workaround for that issue should not apply here! The only known causes of PC freezes outside that Windows version are hardware problems.


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. Does that help at all?

That shouldn't be any different than choosing DX11 in the game?
