Description
The game crashes since 1.2.7 every 20 mins. Often my whole PC hangs up. Sometimes only CTD but the bugreport is not able to send files.
My gamefiles starting to get corrupted over time. I tried to play 7 times now Prussia... always when i was able to form mega Germany inculding Austria it often starts to get corrupted. It takes a lot of time to get to this point and i´m now VERY, VERY UPSET AND FRUSTRATED!!!

Reproduction Steps
1. Start attached save game.
2. See how you see nothing anymore.

Are you playing on the save from the previous/older version of the game?
No.

Upload Attachment
I tried to send as much as i can. If something misses, just contact me.
Unfortunately dumps and savegame files are empty in my folders!?!? Although I have a save in the game!?!?

Sounds like the game is running out of storage space when trying to save the game. It may be trying to use cloud saves, and that the cloud storage is full.

I would suggest turning off cloud saves for the game. Right click the game in the steam library, click properties, in the general tab untick "Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud". Alternatively you can delete some old save in the cloud storage, but then you will most likely just end up with the same problem again in a while.

If that was already unchecked and the empty save files are in the normal Documents\Paradox Interactive\Victoria 3\Save games folder, the disk they are saved to may be full, in which case it's time to get rid of some unneeded files.

Hey Brynjar, thank you for you quick reply.
I have still up to 700GB space left on my locals. Steam says i got 953MB left in my steamcloud.
There is only the broken save right now in my Vic3 folders.
I also told Win11 not to block anything of Vic3. I have no other antivirus then Win11 defender installed.
i was able to download the vic3 save from the steamwebsite which wasent in my folders. I´m confused about this... i attached it
