Game crashes when choosing a faction

[Axelander213]

Hello ! I have the same issue as a differrent user.

Game was fine and started crashing out of nowhere when I try to choose a faction to play.

Reinstalled multiple times, tried everything this moderator said. Nothing seems to help.

My Pc specs are : Ryzen 7 7700, 32gb Ram, RX 9060xt 16gb.

Thanks for your time !

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 that doesn'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.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Vic3/pdx_settings.json .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Vic3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log

Please attach here all those files I mentioned in that quote, thanks.

Hello ! Thanks for the fast reply. I sent everything you asked for, only the exception.log was missing. I saw a different exception folder, but this one was empty.

Iam also having troubles uploading the Dxdiag file, I tried quoting my answer with the file but its not uploading.

Thanks for your time and help !!

Was there no system.log?

IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up. Thanks.

Hello, i accidentally put error logs twice in it but forgot the system.log. Here are the system logs and the DxDiag.zip.

Thanks for your time !

We see no real problems in those files. I can only guess this is another manifestation of the Windows 11 24H2 issue.

A user has come up with a possible workaround

Definitely worth a shot - let me know if that does help you! Note that to test it you don't actually need to use Processor Lasso, just Affinity in Task Manager (for testing purposes anyway).

Good luck!
