Summary​

Playing in Belgium for about a year will experience a crash with a pop-up desktop

Description​

I opened two files before and after, both of which were in Belgium, and after playing the game for a year to two years, I encountered a crash where the game popped up on the desktop, and Steam was also forced to quit. When I reopened the game, I ran into the problem again after playing for a while, and when the first save had a problem, I followed the solution given on the forums - clear the shader cache, and at the same time, disable the steam cloud storage, and then open the second save and crashed after playing it for less than a year, but this time Steam was not forced to quit.

Steps to reproduce​

Application: Victoria 3

I'm having the same issue with Belgium, with the exact same stack trace.

 

[RA.wind]

我在比利时遇到了同样的问题，具有完全相同的堆栈跟踪。

这一切可能是比利时国家出了什么问题？我不知道，因为我没有在新版本中玩过其他国家

Hi! The crash doesn't look like anything on game side, and the Steam client crashing suggests some kind of RAM or virtual memory issue. Could you please upload your DxDiag file (Windows Start Menu -> DxDiag -> Save all information)? Thanks!

Sure.By the way, in version 1.6, my gameplay was fine

Don't see anything obviously wrong, so I'll move the thread to our Technical Support forum, hopefully they'll be able to solve your issue!

 

[Mr.NVK]

Try increasing the amount of virtual memory. In my case, the game crashed every 5-30 minutes after starting a game session with exactly the same error as yours, but regardless of the selected nation. I doubled the maximum virtual memory size (in my case to 16 GB). After that, the game didn't crash for 3 hours straight.

Yes, please expand your Windows paging file maximum size to 32gb

Optional: Increasing the paging file size on Windows computers

On computers that have 8 GB of RAM, the suggested paging file size is 16 GB.

AND exit every other app you can before starting the game.

Good luck!
