Crashing

[AdmiralPisces]

So I don’t know what to do or why this is a constant problem with Mac, but it’s so bad now that it’s unplayable. The game crashes on speed 1 right now every 3 days. It’s unplayable. 1.37.4 is broken

Does this happen in a new unmodded campaign in 1444 or only in a specific save? Can you post the exception.txt from the crash?

Yes no mods vanilla Ironman. Not 1444. It happen between 1450 and 1470. Constantly. Even if I can get through it it happens around 1500 as well. How do I get the exception.txt?

How do I get the exception.txt?

Each crash should create a folder in "Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/crashes" which contains the time of the crash. The exception.txt is in that folder together with some other files with information about the crash

Where can I find that folder? I don’t do technology well

I don't have a mac myself, so I can't give you detailed instructions, but Documents should be one of the basic folders which is probably shown in a prominent place in your file manager. From there you can navigate to Paradox Interactive and then Europa Universalis IV and then crashes. It might also be possible to enter the full name in a location bar, though you might have to prefix it with ~/

In Finder click on Documents in the left column. In the right pane double click on Paradox Interactive, EU4, crashes.

Found it! Thanks, here you go. This is one of many I hope yall know the issue. I know it's not the computer itself since I run the rest of paradox games at 5x speed.

This looks like one of the bugs which is currently discussed in several threads in the bugreports forum. It seems to affect macOS and to a lesser extend Linux. It seems to happen in some situations when a country with subjects gets fully annexed. The three cases in which I was able to reproduce the crash on Linux all involved subjects who got their independence supported, but I don't know if that is just a coincidence. Some people say that it is related to Pronoia subjects, but I think that's just a coincidence, because Byzantium usually makes Athens a Pronoia and they often get their Independence supported.

As a workaround, you can try to revert to 1.37.2 which seems to be unaffected by this particular crash. But 1.37.2 has other bugs and switching in an ongoing campaign has a chance to break your save. And there is one crash related to country formations which seem to affect all versions since 1.36.0, but it is much less frequent.

If you are not on ironman, you can also work around the crash with console commands. E.g. with the delete_wars command(with one of the involved tags as the paramter) or with the integrate command(with the subject as the first parameter and the overlord as the second parameter).

I think I'll just wait till it's fixed then and just avoid EU4 for now which is unfortunate.
