Problem with speed 5 victoria 3 I dont know what the problem is.. but i am wondering if it is not my new cpu.. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor

[Devel1000]

When i play my and set it to speed 5 it is like my game i somethime frozen.. and sometimes when running speed 5 to long my whole game is frozen.. have tried limit fps to 60 and have tried window screen.. i dont get it could it be a simuler problem as intel had last year ?

It seems unlikely.

Is this the same machine but with a new CPU? Or a whole new machine?


Right click on victoria3.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/Victoria3/pdx_settings.json .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/crashes/ folder, attach here the latest (only!) exceptions.txt

Hello since OP never responded i'm going to respond in his stead as my machine 9800x3d chipset (7.04.09.545) RTX 5090 driver(576.40) 64gb of ram 6000mhz

I'm also having the same issue as of the latest patch (vic 3) as this has never been fixed. the game will be playing at 5 speed then it will hang from anything between 30 seconds to way over 3-5 mins which usually results in a Crash to desktop if i'm lucky it will stop hanging and continue as normal.

This only happens in 5 speed.

I tried playing in fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, cap refresh rate at 60hz. this made no difference.

my normal settings are just uncapped FPS with Vsync to my refresh rate of 180hz

sadly my crashes folder is empty as it doesn't seem to generate anything on crash as windows usually has to force the app to close without a crash exception.

Please let me know if there is anything i can do it assist with getting this fixed as the game is completly unplayable for me

I see you have Windows 11 24H2; this can be the cause of this problem, it seems to affect this game particularly for some reason.

it is a severely broken Windows update that has caused problems across the whole gaming - indeed computer - industry.

A user has come up with another possible workaround

Some affected users have definitely seen that help them with this issue. I'd suggest you look at this step first!

And In your Steam Library right-click on this game and choose Properties. In the Launch Options line, paste this in there:
-vulkan

Good luck!

 

[Jackralph96]

sadly vulkan mode or the Memory regedit change hasn't had any affect on the issue. i'm still getting major freezes while playing at 5 speed.

Then perhaps you have a different cause for your issue.

Right click on victoria3.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.

Does that help at speed 5?
