Vic 3 keeps crashing randomly

[dsm88]

Hi guys!

I have been experiencing some crashes in the game. Before they were related to saving but now they are happening randomly.

My specs are these

Windows 11 pro v. 24H2
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.60 GHz
RAM 16 GB

Im also attaching a zip file with the crash report.

Please expand your Windows paging file maximum size to 32gb

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

IF that doesn't help:
I see you have Windows 11 24H2; this can be the cause of this problem, 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 here is another workaround someone posted:

Definitely worth a shot - let me know if that does help you! Note that to test it you don't actually need to use Processor Lasoo, just Affinity in Task Manager (for testing purposes anyway).

Let us know if any of those help!
