Summary
Full computer freeze while playing V3 (also ck3)Description
Sometimes when playing V3, the computer will freeze. no input, alt-contrl-delete no response, whatever video playing on second screen or music in the background, stopped, whole computer freeze.Sometimes V3 will stick, hold half a second full frozen like this and then resume, might be linked to processing an event, but again it's the WHOLE PC freezing not just the programme. But it also freezes and stays stuck, I've let it stick like that for over an hour waiting to see if it will resolve.
Requires full restart. No response to key inputs.
Has also happened with CK3 though less common, happens almost every time I play V3, sometimes after hours of play, sometimes minutes in. No common cause identifiable.
Has never been experienced in any other game, including other paradox games. And only happened in the last month. So possibly something in recent updates to engine that V3 and CK3 share but which HoI4 does not?
Have tried verification and reinstall.
Windows 11 Pro
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265KF 3.90 GHz
Installed RAM 128 GB (128 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Steps to reproduce
No predictable occurrence. Play the game for long enough and it will happen, reload that save after restarting PC and it wont happen at that same point but at another unpredictable event.(Ticked mods as when I have tested without mods haven't played long enough for it to happen.)
