The game worked great from 1.0 to 1.3. From 1.3 to present it's gotten worse. First it would crash at autosave, now it crashes either at start or a few minutes into the game.

error logs are attached.

Right click on ck3.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/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log

OOps, sorry, lost track of this game I was dealing with!

Please expand your Windows paging file maximum size to 32gb

Optional: Increasing the paging file size on Windows computers

On computers that have 8 GB of RAM, the suggested paging file size is 16 GB.

I don't see the refresh rate cap in there, did you limit that to 60? What fps do you see in the game before it crashes?

Changing the minimum page file to 16gb and the maximum to 32gb seemed to solve it without enabling 60 fps max. But i did that anyway.
