Game crashing on new game or loading game

[PDX_Sosanna]

Exception file refers to the Nvidia GPU driver, while the error log contains a line that suggests the game can't access the Documents folder.
Try doing a clean reinstall of the Nvidia driver + purge the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria 3 folder. Ensure that the game can access that directory.

@AndrewT The dumps don't contain any workable information in the main threads. Since the logs are full of mod-related errors, we can't assist much with it other than recommending to only run the game with 1.8.x version compatible mods.
