Lately I tried to customize manually the Coat of Arms of my dynasty modifyng the Save file of my game using Notepad. After doing that it looks like the game don't recognize any of my save files and after a few secons of play it just crashes.

I try to uninstall and reinstall the game, but this problem still happens. So now I'm on a point I just want to play the game.

So I dunno if you could help me with this guys :(

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.
