Vic 3 Crashes on Startup

[Rare_Liquid]

Game used to work fine, but now I am unable to even enter the main menu. I have completely clean reinstalled the game, no mods, verified all files.

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.

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 , exceptions.log

This allowed me to get into the menu! Now it crashes on starting a new game. I couldn't find an exceptions.log file.

That's a huge amount of stuff in the swap file!

What if you unload every other app and process you can before starting the game - any better?


And, what fps do you see in the game before it crashes now?

I cleared out the page file and it works! Thanks for walking me through it all. I can play Victoria 3 now.
