I see some bluescreens in there but nothing to do with this game as such. Is there really nothing in its /logs/ folder?

Has this game ever worked on this machine? Or never yet?

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, refresh rate 60. Any different?

Same problem. It is a new installation on this machine, so it never worked. Logs are attached.

It makes the system.log file but does not populate it, a very odd place to fail given that (as I understand it) you get to the main menu okay, is that right?

Is it any different if you run Victoria3.exe directly from File Explorer?

Found the issue. The CPU was to much undervolted, probably for the AVX instructions. It was the only application with that issue, but it works now. Thanks for the help.

I may have the same issue, how did you fix this?

I slitlhy increased the vCore offset in the BIOS. How much depends on your specific CPU. Go in small steps and not too high, to not damage your CPU.

If you run any antivirus then immediately disabled the antivirus and manually delete the program installation log file.
