Summary​

Game gives constant access violation errors on new patch.

Description​

The game crashes constantly when either loading into a new sandbox game, or after a few minutes running a game. I have had issues like this before on my old i9 processor, but I changed to an i7 and it worked fine until today's 1.7 patch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the stated issue in the log: "Unhandled Exception C0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) at address 0x00007FF76008AD90"

Steps to reproduce​

Start game, and then load into a new sandbox scenario. If you make it to the map, run the game at five speed for a minute.

Hello and thank you for the report!

I will forward the CTD folder tomorrow and have someone investigate the issue.

In the meantime:
Could you make sure that all mods are disabled?
Could you attach a dxdiag log file so that we can get a better overview of your hardware?

 

[jmansuper08]

Absolutely, thanks for the quick response. I will attach the dxdiag log right now.

Edit: To add to this, im sure my mods are disabled, I did a fresh install for the game and unsubed to all the mods I had. The playlist shows no mods active.

After a short discussion this seems to be an INTEL related issue.
See: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...3th-14th-generation-intel-processors.1591821/ for details.

I have moved the thread to the Tech Support subforum.

You very likely have the CPU/bios hardware issue discussed here:

Victoria 3 | 12th/13th/14th Generation Intel Processors

Hello all! An update, 12th and 13th Generation Intel Processors are related to a Crash to Desktop (CTD) happening frequently, this is related to architecture changes by Intel and specifically E-cores. We are working with Intel to address these...

FIRST please check for an updated bios. Then please implement the “Intel Default” option in it, if present.

If that's not there or doesn't help, please go through the above post in detail.

Hopefully those steps will help you as they have others. Good luck!
