2.3 Crashes on Load

[KKrive500]

As the title says I crash right after the window opens to start loading the game. I don't even get to see the CKII loading screen yet. I tried reinstalling already so that's not the issue.

Anything I can do to fix this? Reverting back to 2.2.1 fixes this but I shouldn't have to play CKII

bump

Don't bump threads, especially after only a few hours.

This is highly unlikely to be a game bug - we'd know by now if no-one could ever even start the game!

Please try a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local content" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete all files and folders left under Steam/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.

 

[KKrive500]

Did a clean install still doing the same crash. I'll just wait for the next update to play I guess.

 

[unfortunatecrow]

Having the same issue. I can open the list of saves, then click load and immediate CTD. Doing it with old saves, new saves, all saves.

 

[AndrewT]

That's not the same issue at all - the OP can't even start the game up. And, apparently, doesn't want any more help for that ...

I'm not sure what else can be done. If I revert back to 2.2.1 the game works perfectly. I'm not sure if something was added to the patch that would require me to upgrade or download something that I didn't have before.

 

[AndrewT]

Please post a dxdiag.txt (you can delete everything after the end of the "Sound devices" section for brevity) and your Documents/CK2/settings.txt. From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ directory, post system.log . Open setup.log in notepad and search for 'checksum', post that line only here too please.

 

[KKrive500]

Dxdiag and Settings are in the attachments. I couldn't find a checksum in the text for the system.log so it will be in the spoiler below.

I hope that helps

I couldn't find a checksum in the text for the system.log so it will be in the spoiler below.

It should be in setup.log, not system.log . But the one on the Launcher will do, plus the one in the main game menu when loaded with no mods active.

I see you're using the shattered world mod - does this happen if you don't have that active?

Edit settings.txt to say:

refreshRate=60

multi_sampling=0

Any better?

I'm not sure what else can be done. If I revert back to 2.2.1 the game works perfectly. I'm not sure if something was added to the patch that would require me to upgrade or download something that I didn't have before.

I encountered this behavior after installing 2.3 (which I did not elect to do as it was enforced by Steam) and it was due to the keyboard shortcuts mod I was using. Updating the mod to a 2.3-compliant version solved the issue for me.

Ok I tried this in the settings txt in my documents paradox folder but no luck. I'm not running a mod when I'm trying to launch it just the vanilla game.

EDIT: I found out the problem. For some reason when I have EUIV converter ticked in the DLC it causes this issue and that's the problem for me. It was working fine before this patch though so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work now.

Mods often need to be updated to be compatible with a new patch.

It's not a mod... It's the DLC I purchased.

 

[PeterSkager]

Which DLC's do you have besides it? Might be some strange combination of things perhaps, since this hasn't been known issue.

 

[KKrive500]

It happens when I even only have EUIV converter ticked. I'll try a complete uninstall and try again making sure it deletes the entire ck2 folder

 

[PeterSkager]

Sounds good. Give me a heads up if there's any problems after that
