game just crashes after launch

[King_Eradus]

so I got the 3.1 update when it came out, basically chalkidike is gone, but I got a mod that fixes chalkidike but even then after selecting a character to play, I crash. I have no other mods other than the one where it fixes chalkidike

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list/whitelist of your antivirus app
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.

That should do it for you!

That didn't fix it, I have no clue what's going on

What AV app do you use? Make sure ck2game.exe is in its exceptions list.

 

[King_Eradus]

It's still not working, is this correct?

 

[AndrewT]

That's necessary but not sufficient

In the *Ransomware* and *Controlled Folder Access* features, ck2game.exe need to be added to the *Apps Allowed Through* list in BOTH places.

 

[King_Eradus]

Okay so I did that but the game is still broken,

You did that in BOTH the Ransomware* and *Controlled Folder Access* features ?


DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). 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 your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .
