CK2 Demo Has Stopped Working

[Cuthach]

I've had the demo "stop working" countless times, it seems like it happens at random but when I check the log in the error.txt in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II - Demo\logs it always lists a lot of things related to textures and graphics.

Here's the log from the most recent error.txt:

When I look in Crusader Kings II Demo\gfx\coats_of_arms I don't see a dynasties.tga file, so does everyone else but me have this file?

I have this exact same problem and have been trying to have someone help me since it came out. I've gotten no response .

 

[unmerged(250188)]

Strange, I get these crashes but I can't find the "logs" file to seem if it's the same crashes as you.... I find playing the game on speed 4 rather than speed 5 prevents the crash.

I don't have the dynasties.tga file.

Here's mine: I can't get past the loading flags screen.

[Pyriel]

Are you guys sure this isn't just a corrupted download/installation?

Try running the demo in admin mode

 

[unmerged(91035)]

I've tried everything. Redownloaded, reinstalled, everything. There's files missing and I don't know why.

Could you check if you have them?

 

[Pyriel]

Yeah I have no problems with demo whatsoever.

I ment have you tried running the demo installation in admin mode? For me it just seems a corrupted installation, but yeah otherwise I really dont know. Win 7 I presume?

 

[unmerged(91035)]

Yeah Win 7. I just tried in admin mode, same error, it's missing those files.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore... I've been trying to get help for almost a week .

 

[iamdanthemansta]

I just had a crash like this also anyone have any idea?

 

[Cuthach]

Where did you guys download from? I originally downloaded from Gamers Hell but I uninstalled and downloaded from FilePlanet instead and it seems to be working fine now.

Edit: Never mind, still broken.

 

[unmerged(91035)]

I downloaded from fileplanet and it's not working.

Try deleting a folder called Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II and restart

 

[unmerged(91035)]

Wow thanks that did it. Why would that fix it though? haha

 

[Tegus]

From your error log, it seems like you had a corrupt file(which gets generated at startup and is later saved), so deleting it causes generation of it again, but this time hopefully not corrupted.

Hi, I've been reading these posts for a few days now,and actually registered with the forum so I could leave a response that may,or may not be helpful. I myself had the CK 2 has stopped working come up repeatedly,but I found a solution. I use a laptop to play on, however,the laptop is on the top of my computer desk,and never touched,I have a secondary mouse,keyboard and yes,monitor attached. I noticed Crusader Kings 2 absolutely will not,under any circumstances play when I have the secondary monitor in use, I have to completely unhook it from the laptop in order to get the game to open and run without getting a CK 2 has stopped working. I am hoping this is not the case with the full version of the game,however,I'm leaning towards not even getting it now because of this. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the demo to run with a secondary monitor,or if the full version will allow me to run on the secondary monitor? I'm no longer buying the game on Tuesday because of the problem,and hope someone can give me an answer so I can actually purchase.

Hello all,

my game also stop working and i have the same output in the error.log file, but i think that this errors not the reason for the crash.

I deleted the folder what Tegus said, but the game also crashed.
Now, i deleted it again, but i didn´t used the german language(used english) and it works fine. Without any crash.

I hope this can help someone.

regards
beA

Several people here at the office play with dual monitors just fine - so it's not JUST that. Are you running full screen or windowed? with what Graphics card? Is there anything else you do than unplugging the secondary monitor to be able to start the game?

Actually dynasties.tga missing is totally OK, that file comes with the launch DLC.
