infinity load

[lasp93]

Sorry, I know you're probably sick of hearing this,
but I've searched through a bunch of threads and Reddit and I still don't understand why I can't play

i tried
clean reinstall, verify files with steam, c++ redistributable, open CK3.EXE just nothing except Initializing game..

I love ur game, and i played in my ps5 with 100hours of games.

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 - **In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.**
- 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.


THEN 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

Here the files, but i dont have system.log or error.log I don't have any crashes, just an infinite loading time, but since I'm impatient, I close the game after 20 minutes

DXDiag

The published minimum requirements for this game include:

• Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ GTX 660 (2GB) / AMD® Radeon™ HD 7870 (2GB) / Intel® Iris Pro™ 580 / Intel® Iris® Plus G7 / AMD® Radeon™ Vega 11

So it will never work on your old integrated Intel HD Graphics video system. For some reason your processor doesn't show in that dxdiag, but it may be below the requirements too:

• Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-2120 / AMD® FX 6350

Unless you have access to a machine that meets the minimum requirements, please seek a refund from where you bought the game.

Sorry for the bad news!

My processor is that, Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU J3710 @ 1.60GHz (4 CPUs), ~1.6GHz so it's finish for me? I'm cooked?

That is well below the minimum requirement too I'm afraid! So the game will never run directly on this PC.

Unless you have access to a machine that meets the minimum requirements, please seek a refund from where you bought the game.

Or, you could pay for an external hosting service like Nvidia GeForce Now, so the game runs on their servers, not your PC.
