CK2 3.10 Crashes to Desktop

[Nax24]

So after 3.10 came out I have been having a very hard time starting CK2. Basically, when the game is loading up, it gets to "Graphics" and crashes back to desktop with no warning or indication that it was crashing. Sometimes it loads to the menu, but after a few seconds in the menu it crashes to desktop like mentioned earlier. I don't know why this is the case, and this only happens with 3.10. I have reinstalled the game three times now after uninstalling and deleting everything about CK2 on my PC.

Here is the exception log that I got last time this happened:

######## EXCEPTION: 0xC0000005 at address: 0x014CB2F5: ACCESS VIOLATION write attempt to address 0x00000000
Version: Unknown Version
04/28/19 12:06:01

Any advice on how to fix?

I know you feel you've done this already, but please do though these steps carefull:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list/whitelist of your antivirus app
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.


Also if you have installed RadeonPro, or a gaming VPN app called Evolve, or the MSI Gaming App, or Duet, disable it as it clashes with this game.


IF NEITHER OF THOSE HELP:
DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). 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 your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

You could try if making a backup of and deleting "Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\cache".
