Victoria 3 crash to desktop on speed

[Vongola505]

as the title say the game run with no problem at any speed except 5 this problem started after upgrading to i9 13900k
after running in speed 5 for 30s it crash
tried all available versions
clean installed windows and upgraded gpu to 4070ti same problem but the game can run for some more time in my last test the game ran for 3m in speed 5 around 3 and half in game years

this is my pc specs now.
and i but the last 2 crashes both gave the best results in one i ran the game using steam launch option using the command -dx10

The renderer in both thos logs is still DX11, I don't think -DX10 is a valid launch option, and it is coincidence it seemed to run a bit better that way. What you can do is replace DX11 in that settings json file with Vulkan to try a different renderer.


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.

Is that any better?

still the same problem

Please attach new copies of all those files since those changes, thanks.

And, is there any hardware overclocking set on this machine?

sorry for the delay
and no i have no overclocking even xmp is off

Did you cap the framerate at 60 as I suggested? That .json file seems to say not.

What actual frame rate/fps are you getting in the game?

Hi sorry for taking this long to reply
I solved the problem
It turned out that my cpu was defective
After changing it i also discovered that my ram was also defective (both of them are brand new never overclocked) so it was my luck ruinning last month for me

Hello, I had the same issue, but I found the solution. You'll have to do undervoltage for your i9 13k CPU.
You can take a look at this clip:

What I've done:
in BIOS:
Vcore VOltage Mode -> Adaptive Vcore
VF Offset Mode -> Legacy
Internal CPU Vcore Offset -> -0.075V

Hi bro,

Based on your idea I think I have found an easier solution.
I'm also using 13900KF CPU but I think it is too complicated on other brands' BIOS and could be harmful if misconfigured.

This is Chinese version of Windows 11. Turn on the "Efficient Mode (should be)" in Task Manager.
And the game runs smoothly on only HALF of CPU cores.

I think the root cause of crash in 5x speed could be overheating temperature when running full CPU cores.
or maybe the game just works like that as other Paradox games used to....

The 13xxx series of Intel processors is a big/little design, with a bunch of power cores and a set of efficiency cores.

This big/little design currently causes trouble, when the game is run at max speed. This is known, and under investigation.
