Victoria 3 Crash to Desktop on Starting New Game

[Auztin]

Hello,

Like the tittle suggests I go into the game, I get to the main menu, I go to start a game and when I select any game mode where it physically starts the game I get a crash.

I wasn't sure if this was a bug or a tech issue so I've went ahead and placed a thread in both bug reports and now here in tech support.

I have attached my machine's info into a zip file called 'msinfo' for my full system details in case that's needed as well as everything from my crash log and the minidump file.

Any help with this would be appreciated,

Thanks!
