Game crashes when i press play. PC Spec: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, GPU GTX 1060. this is a very recent issue for me. only since the 1.5 update. I have not rolled back yet to see if i can isolate it to only a 1.5 issue yet. please let me know if i need to provide anymore information. i have also tried doing a fresh reinstall and locking the frame rate to 60 FPS and these fixes do not help.

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.
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 , exceptions.log

Some of the errors I see in taht log are not normal, I think.
Please do a full clean re-install:
- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders - In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add Victoria3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
THEN do the settings changes I suggested before, again.
If you still get this problem then, make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that. Is that any better?
