The game turns off.

[CSLee]

Victoria 3 crashes and the game crashes.
The mode is not used.

The computer specifications are

Intel 13th Generation i9

Radeon 6900XT

RAM 64GB
If you run the game for a while and run it quickly, it crashes like this.

Sometimes it crashes before selecting a country.

Is this due to lack of specifications?

I am very curious about the cause.

Looks like you have the same CPU/BIOS issue discussed here:

Continued crashes with the recent update

Having continued crashes with the most recent update. Did a clean reinstall, removing all the directories. Something has changed because now changing the CPU affinity does not change the duration between crashes at all. I would say that now...

Do those steps help you? You could post there if you need more specific help in that area.

Should I turn off AVX BIOS?

If AVX is the problem, can I just turn off that option?

I'm not sure the exact reason.

I would appreciate it if you could tell me which option to turn off in BIOS.

If you have a specific solution, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

ㅜㅜ

No, the game requires AVX. The issue is apparently with AVX2.

The work with the bios was done by a user, not me or Paradox. Here is the full text from that user:

Ooooooooh kay.... I found the issue. So, it turns out that a BIOS update on my ASUS motherboard caused my CPU (which obviously did not win the silicon lottery) to crash when AVX2 instructions were called. I disabled these helpful BIOS settings, retested my CPU (which now did not puke on the AVX2 stress test) and retested the game. And hey, I could play on speed 5 without crashing!

@AndrewT Given the recent issues with Intel 12th and 13th gen CPUs, and how some motherboards like to try to tweak your CPU for you which can disrupt AVX2 performance, you might want to have people run the AVX2 stress test in XTU when they are getting random crashes. If they failed the AVX2 stress test, then they need to check their motherboard for tweaks which would affect it. For me, this was the relevant thread which finally had me track down the issue:

i9-13900K : very frequent crashes (Windows 11) with apps, games and benches

Hi, I built a setup in April 2023 with : - Intel Core i9-13900K - Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero - 2x32 GB Corsair Vengeance 6600 MHz - Asus ROG 4090 - Asus ROG Thor 850 Watts From the very beginning, I had sometimes BSODs, and several apps/games crashing very "reliably". Even though the PC: -...

For those who might see this thread and also have a ASUS mobi, setting SVID Behavior to Intel's fail safe fixed the issue. BTW, Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool WILL lie to you and tell you that your processor AVX2 is operating correctly, when you can go right Intel XTU, run their AVX2 stress test and it will fail almost immediately.

Does that apply for you, does it help?

thank you

When running AVX2's Intel

However, if you proceed quickly for about 20 minutes, it will crash.

The cause is also the same.

What could be the reason?

I am attaching a file that may be helpful in identifying the issue.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you are saying here. The AVX2 stress test crashes after 20 minutes?
