I have updated my gpu drivers, deleted and reinstalled the game, verified files via Steam, updated my bios, deleted and reinstalled shaders. I have done basically everything I have seen on the internet and haven't had much success. Sometimes the game will run, but recently I haven't been able to get past the main menu. When I start a new game or load a previous save, it crashes to the desktop.

Hardware:
4070 ti super
32 gbs of RAM
i7-14700KF
 
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.


IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.





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
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/crashes/ folder, attach here the latest (only!) exceptions.txt
 
Thank you. Here are all the files. I'm not sure if I added too many, but I figured that more is not necessarily bad.

You may have the CPU/bios hardware issue discussed here:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...ration-intel-processors.1591821/post-29305331
If you haven't updated your bios recently (say, the last month) please check for an updated bios. Then please implement the “Intel Default” option in it, if present.
