Game constantly crashing since 1.8.6 - 80MB+ bug reports

[DrinkMoeWater1337]

Good day everyone,

Since 1.8.6 my game has been crashing randomly, and its quite frustrating. I don't have any mods installed, and have verified, uninstalled and even deleted the Victoria file from my documents but the game still crashes. Ive attached the most recent report.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I have the same problem :'(

When looking at the error log this shows up

[jomini_script_system.cpp:270]: Script system error! Error: Event target link 'owner' returned an invalid object Script location: file: common/political_movements/00_ideological_movements.txt line: 1444

Exactly the same.

Exactly the same.

Wow! I don't know much about programming but it almost looks like a line of code is missing or something causing the game to crash when the even is triggered

Hi! Could you please attach the crash folder that includes minidump from "Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria 3/crashes"?
Error logs usually don't contain any data that is relevant to the crash.

Hello, heres another crash that just happened 30 seconds after I opened the game

1 victoria3.exe ODDLParser::OpenDDLExport::writeValueType (+ 2417597)

@PDX_Sosanna we've seen a few exceptions logs with this first line recently. Can you say what that ODDL or OpenDDL process it, what aspect of the game or Windows it relates to please?

@AndrewT These 2 users have 2 completely distinct crash issues. Exception files on Windows and Linux are mangled and usually won't give much useful data.

@FrostbiteKelvin Your CTD is known, sadly it couldn't be fixed in time for 1.8.6 release. It is likely going to get fixed in the next patch after the holidays.

@DrinkMoeWater1337 Has the game worked smoothly before 1.8.6 patch? It's a bit odd as I can't find anything similar in our databases. I have reached out to our programmers and will add the issue to our bug tracker if it doesn't turn out to be a setup issue.

To be honest, I don't remember it crashing at all before 1.8.6 although my hours were limited. Should I try rolling back?

TYVM... I have 2 games waiting to be finished

Hello! Not sure if this matches but I have been having similar crashes in the beginning of the game. Playing 100% vanilla with a fresh install

 

[AndrewT]

The only issue I see in your files is the CPU is one of the models that is affected by the well-known Intel hardware faults. Have you updated your bios in, sya, the last month or so? If not please try that and see if it helps.

If that doesn't help or apply here, DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.

Thanks! It was an out of date BIOS, works well after the update
