Hello everyone!
Since the game came out I allways had issues with random crashes.
With some patches this became less of an accurance, I was able to play full mp games without crashing.
But recently my game started crashing in almost every minute and I can't do anything against it.
My computer should be powerfull enough to handle the game so I wouldn't think that would be the issue.
As I also said with some patches I didn't even experience crashes.
I tried a lot of reccomendations like turn vsync off run as administrator and all driver updates but it has not solved the issue.
I hope I can get some reccomendations from the community and thank you in advance.

If you need me to clarify certain things please ask me and I will anserw.
 
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.txt
 
Hy,

I also posted this question to the paradox support team.
It turned out that it was a corrupted file named KERNELBASE.dll that caused the crashes for me. This happend when I updated my computer to windows11.
Since the fix I was able to play the game without any crashes.

Thank you for your help and for the info provided.
