Hello @bishoko,

Thank you for your report. I'm going to need more info.

* Could you provide crash folder, if it was generated? It should be in your C:\Users\username\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\crashes
Please send whole folder from the last crash.
* Could you provide specs of your hardware?
* Are you certain you are running unmoded game?

Thank you in advance. : )

One small note I forgot to add: I used to play CK3 a lot, 179 hours of gameplay (mostly in debug mode), and never had this issue. But I haven't played in a couple of months, and when I tried to play it again, this issue started happening.

Thank you for your information @bishoko.

Unfortunately I'm going to close the issue as As Designed.

I've noticed that your CPU has 2.5 GHz while the CPU provided in minimal requirements on Steam Store page has 3.30 GHz.

Your issue is likely caused by CPU overheating, playing on laptop likely adds to that, despite your GPU is more than fine.

Good luck and have a nice day!
