Summary​

Possible AMD Vendor Specific Crash

Description​

This issue has persisted for quite a few years now. Back when I first encountered it I thought it was due to a defective GPU but it has persisted through multiple System configurations with the common denominator being an AMD GPU. Now the crash doesn't always happen but it happens often enough and is also followed by graphics corruption if in full screen windowed mode.

Steps to reproduce​

This is moreso a crash that happens in general gameplay I have noticed that it generally happens on the month tick or when a UI element updates.

Game Version​

latest

OS​

Windows

Does it maybe happen when looking at certain parts of the map(e.g. America or Australia) and can it be avoided by disabling city sprawl in the video settings? This affects some AMD systems(I think mostly iGPUs with the vega brand). Otherwise I have not heard of any AMD specific crash. If you don't have the city sprawling crash, you might want to post in the tech support forum instead, because it could be that a specific setting or an external software on your computer is causing the problem. E.g. overlays like discord or software which tries to "optimize" the performance sometimes causes problems

Thanks for the reply I'll give it a try I've been having the issue the past 7 years now, at first I didn't really mind because I wasn't playing EU4 all that much but now it's annoying. My main problem is that it's quite difficult to get it to crash consistently I've noticed that it likes to happen on Anbenar quite a bit more often than vanilla and I have been trying to get the crash to happen with mods disabled to provide a log but again, it's super inconvenient to get it to happen

If you are always playing anbennar, you could try to disable city sprawl to see if that avoids the crash. Or you could start a new vanilla game and use the console command "ti" to see the whole map and then zoom in and out over various parts of america and australia to see if that triggers a crash
