VIC III do not start

[Marcellus85]

Hi the game doen´t start.
Verifying files integrity didn't help. Also he tried to launch the game from the folder /binaries, run it as administrator, reinstall Visual C++ 2013 and 2015, x64 and x86. Uninstalling the launcher, deleting documents folder Net.Framework update also didn't help.

Has it even worked on this machine? Or never yet?

What happens if you run victoria3.exe directly from File Explorer (bot NOT as Windows Admin)? Any error show?

 

[Marcellus85]

Hi,
The game run perfect for release.
the last time it runs was may 2023.
After the dlc Voice of the People the game crash by trying to autosave. I try the reinstalltion, I ve the latest driver but it still don't work.
The error code is zero at the launcher.
Sry I don't have a screenshot form the error after run it as admin.
But I remember, it was I windows system file m. dll

Sorry, I'm not clear from what you say there - what happens when you run victoria3.exe NOT as Windows Admin? Because we see no crash in that .exe in that dxdiag file.

Under Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 are there any CRASH folders ?

 

[Marcellus85]

Hi,
The folder is empty.
I started the Game. Exe then started a new game, zoomed out and it crashed. But there is no data in the folder.

Let's try a few things.

First update that AMD video driver. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Then expand your Windows paging file maximum size to 32gb

Optional: Increasing the paging file size on Windows computers

On computers that have 8 GB of RAM, the suggested paging file size is 16 GB.

THEN 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

 

[Marcellus85]

i´ve done all this things.

The game is unable to launch by the launcher.
a launch by .exe ist crashed again.

 

[AndrewT]

Did you set the refresh rate cap to 60 as I suggested? Because II don't see that in the settings file.

And can I get the new dxdiag.txt I asked for please.

 

[Marcellus85]

I will try it in the evening.

 

[Marcellus85]

This is all i have

 

[AndrewT]

Still not seeing that frame rate cap set - you are definitely doing that in the launcher Game Settings menu?

And can I get the new dxdiag.txt I asked for please.

 

[Marcellus85]

there is the new dxdiag.txt.

 

[Marcellus85]

The game launcher

 

[Marcellus85]

The game launcher . i set down the graphic but still no launch

 

[AndrewT]

Current Mode: 3440 x 1440 (32 bit) (165Hz)
Native Mode: 3440 x 1440(p) (99.982Hz)

What actual fps are you seeing in the game? More than 60? If you get time to see, that is.

[Marcellus85]
