Game crash when launching

[Dibbo11]

the game crashes as its trying to launch, ive looked at the logs in the error.txt. and it says [sound.cpp:233]: Sound generic_click_04 not found.
im not sure what it is, other then it has something to do with sounds, and maybe also causing the launch problem.

That 'error' is normal and nothing to do with your problem.

It's not clear to me if it used to work on this machine and now doesn't, or it's never worked for you.

If the former, try manually deleting the Documents CK2 directory and let the game recreate it with default settings. Obviously move any valued save games elsewhere first.

If the latter, Please try installing:

First: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

After that: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328

Then: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
(If that doesn't do anything then http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 )


[c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Crusader Kings II\dx]

Then: visit the Windows Update site and allow it to apply all .NET updates/patches it wants to, for all .NET versions.

Newer video driver for you http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_win8-64.aspx

If that doesn't help Try a full clean reinstall:

move any valued save games elsewhere and uninstall the game from within Steam. Then manually delete ALL the CK2 directories from under BOTH the Steam and MyDocuments folders. Now reinstall the game from Steam, and run the Verify just to make sure it all came down properly.

If this is GamersGate: Move valued save games elsewhere, and uninstall the game. Manually delete the CK2 directories from where GG put them and from MyDocuments. Reinstall the game (this time pick somewhere NOT under the system path c:\program files\ ), download 1.111 patch again and apply it.

the game is from steam, and i have tried a clean reinstall, Deleted all the files and updated the driver you linked.

 

[AndrewT]

Hmm, that is odd. try this: right-click on ck2.exe and ck2game.exe and set them to run as the Admin user.

And/or, copy the whole CK2 directory from under Steam to some new place like c:\games\ck2\ , exit Steam, and run th egame by double-clicking on ck2.exe itself .

I had the same problem you have, where the game would crash during loading. Hearts of Iron III would do the same. Here is what I found.

If your hard drive is partitioned, or it might happen if you have multiple drives, with Steam, you have to have a good ammount of space on the Core Steam Library's drive - where the steam program is installed. I had a very limited ammount of space on that partition of my drive, and even with a fresh install to a brand spanking new partition of the drive, it would crash like that. Soon as I cleared off about ten gigs maybe a little more, it seemed to run just fine. I can only guess that part of this is owing to the way the game engine caches information or something to that effect. So make sure there is a substantial level of space in your library sections for Steam, that might fix your problem.

that did nok work aswell it still crashes, and Sauragnmon, atm i got 900 gb the place ck2 is installed and 150 gb free space on the hd were steam is install, so i dont think its that, but thanks for the suggestion

 

[AndrewT]

Without disrespecting Sauragnmon's experience, there is no known reason why the amount of unused disk space would have any effect whatsoever on the game.

Do you perhaps have the Comodo anti-virus app? If so see the sticky KNOWN ISSUES thread above for how to deal with the problem it causes. that aside I really can't see nay problem with your machine that would cause it to ave a problem now, when it didn't before.
