Game crashed after launching

[DrillHarD]

After the update, the game crashed during the loading page. There is a warning sign on launcher states: "The last game save was created on a different version of the game(1.13.01). Resuming from it might caused the gmae to malfunction or even crash."

I have tried to delete the local saved game, doesn't work.
I have tried to reinstall the whole game, doesn't work.
I have rolled back to older version but I can only choose 1.13.0.4 in the Steam Beta, still crashing.

Please help!

Launcher current version 2024.14

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings 3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/ folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.
