Victoria 3 randomly crashes every couple of in-game weeks

[oShots]

Good evening all,

I'm pretty new to Victoria 3, having only a 130 or so hours on the game, but I've been enjoying it very much - and now to the issue.

So I had a problem where Victoria 3 would crash on launch, but I managed to fix that issue by re-arranging my RAM sticks and then uninstalling the game*, which seemed to work, but now a day or so after that fix, the game crashes every couple of weeks in-game without any explanation.
I'm completely puzzled as to why this is happening, and I've tried to fix it myself as well but to no avail.

*Pretty confident this is an issue with Victoria 3 itself, as I've been able to launch other games, even ones that take up more space and more RAM to run.

Any help or direction as to what I'm supposed to do now would be lovely, thank you.

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

Hey Andrew, here are the requested files. The disable fullScreen optimisations did work in fixing the immediate crash, but I still find the game crashing quite often whenever I tab out of the game to switch a song on youtube or something similar.

I'm for some reason unable to attach the error.log as there's nothing written in the log when I try and open it, and it consists of 0 KB.
There's also no "exceptions.txt" file, only an empty folder named "exceptions".

Update: I was able to attach the error.log file after a crash.

Sorry, I forgot to say that IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up. Thanks.
