Just bought Victoria 2 on steam and I'm getting CTD every time I try to go to a second tutorial. Plays 1 tutorial fine but CTD on next.

Anyone know how to fix?

Oh and hi everyone. I'm not altogether new to the forum as I used to post on CK2 forum but had to sign up again after forgetting who I was after a spell away.

If I recall correctly, the tutorial has been broken for some time. Does the normal game work? What expansions do you have?

Think I may have fixed it by deleting the cache file in the maps folder. Just tried it and it's now starting a second tutorial. No time to play further just now as I'm expecting company. Thanks for the reply.

Ok I'm now getting CTD when clicking back from the start single player campaign screen. Must say this isn't filling me with confidence that the rest of the game isn't going to be buggy.

Any suggestions about fixing CTDs would be much appreciated.

Ok, I'm still getting the original CTD I first posted about and got a short freeze on the second tutorial. Already considering asking steam for a refund.

Just how buggy is this game? Be interested to know if others have had problems with it or if It's just me.

My machine plays CK2 with lots of DLC and no problems.

I don't really remember about no-expansion Victoria II (since I assume that's what you have). The current version doesn't have any CTD-causing ones, as far as I know.

Sorry bud, I forgot to say I've bought the complete collection + the one DLC that ain't included.

I started a campaign up as Belgium just to see if the main game played without crashing. didn't do anything other than click about a bit and lose my country but for the short time it lasted the game didn't crash.

I'm a little undecided at the moment about whether or not I want to invest a lot of time in a game that may just have a buggy tutorial or worst case scenario may suck me in just to present me with something game breaking later on.

I don't know what to tell you other than to avoid the tutorial since I don't think it was updated with the expansions.

Otherwise, the game is rock solid for me. My recommendation would be to, first, sync your Steam account so that you have your game registered if you haven't done so. This gives you access to the subforums. For learning the game you'll want access to the FAQ subforum.

To see all the posts in the subforum, click Thread Display Options at the bottom of the page, then click the Set Options button. There's a display bug with the current forum software. You may have to do it multiple times when you read a thread and then go back to the subforum. Annoying but we live with it. Hunt down the manuals and study them. Enjoy the Strategy Guide but keep in mind it was released with the first release and was not updated for the expansions. Bookmark the Main Wiki Page.

And don't be afraid to ask questions here. We try to help. Others are better than me since I don't have the time to play that I used to.

Enjoy. It's a great game but it does have a fairly steep learning curve so you are here for the long haul. :)

Thanks for the advice. Good to hear that the game itself is stable and that it may just be the tutorial. I'm already reading the manual but can't seem to find the strategy guide but as you said and as I've read elsewhere, apparently it's a little dated, So maybe I don't need to bother with that.
Steep learning curves and long hauls I rather like. The last campaign of CK2 I played went on for months and I played it with my own house rules to make it more challenging.
I'm sorta looking forward to playing in this era, as I hail from Lancashire in England and it was at the forefront of the industrial revolution in the UK. Won't play the UK for a while though probably cut my teeth on some remote backwater.

Thank you good sir, thy industry and attention to detail is to say the least, impressive. My hat is rapidly and with a flourish removed from upon my head to thee.
