Hi, so ever since jan 9th my game just wont load anymore, I got the game on christmas, bought some dlcs, the norse men one and the royal court, I also played with mods like the community flavor pack and nameplate and some others. From dec 25-jan 8th it worked perfectly fine, would have a crash ever here and there but it was nothing major. Then all of a sudden on jan 9th when I go to boot up the game it starts crashing on the loading screen. So I try to load it a couple more times, still crashing on the loading screen and im not even getting a crash log. So I go and remove all the mods im using, still crashing, I even go and remove my dlcs, still crashing. I looked some stuff up, I tried deleting and reinstalling the game, updating my outdating graphics drivers and even delete my computer cache. Still nothing works. I'm stumped about what to do, Only think I can think of doing left would be to do a full wipe of my computer.

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Please do a full **clean** re-install:
- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings 3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/ folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test
In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.
IF that doesn't help, Right click on ck3.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.
IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.
Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.txt
