Game crashes around 1890s

Playing Belgium, game keeps crashing around 1890s. It seems that spending few weeks (maybe 1 or 2) makes game crashing, I lowered all setting and even slowed the game speed but nothing could help me. Is there any attempts to reduce the ram usage of the game or another plan for optimizing game?

You mention reducing memory usage - what are you seeing that indicates to you that memory is causing your problem?

Optimising games means making their performance better, it has nothing to do with fixing crashing problems.


Is this all happening in one particular campaign, or multiple ones? After such a crash, can you reload that save and carry on past the crash point, or it always crashes at the same point then?


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, cap refresh rate at 60.


If those don't help:
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.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/pdx_settings.json .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/crashes/ folder, attach here the latest (only!) exceptions.txt

Dear AndrewT,

Thanks for your prompt reply. The game crashes around on the same points; 12.7.1892. Even just passing the time without controlling anything keeps causing same problems.

Again, thank you very much.

We see two AppHang events against victoria3.exe in that dxdiag, but no crashes as such.

I suspect you may be running low on available memory. Please expand your Windows paging file maximum size to 32gb

Optional: Increasing the paging file size on Windows computers

On computers that have 8 GB of RAM, the suggested paging file size is 16 GB.

AND exit every other app you can before starting the game.

Does that help at all?
