Hoi3 Keeps crashing.

[Industrious1]

Didn't post in technical support because i fear the forums are a little less active and a swift fix would be most desirable...

So anyway here's what i know, im using the HPP mod, i have podcats tfh exe, yes its been unzipped lol.
Also i've tried running through specific graphics cards.
im running an i7 and have 8gb ram 2gb dedicated graphics so i doubt that's an issue.
I suspect this will be a simple fix.

Anyways does anyone have any ideas? ive googled this like 10 times.

Try to delete the cache files (not the directories) in X:/My doc/paradox/HOI3/HPP/map/cache. (and in My doc/.../HOI/map/cache and steam/steamapps/.../HOI3/map/cache)

alas... i got 2 months in then poof, crash, didn't work

Humm, there is a lot of "tricks" to workaround some issue.
You could maybe find something here
If your game crash on save, you could also have a look in the BICE mod sub-forum, there is a sticky about save CTD.
One or two "tricks" to try :
- delete the log files in My docs/../HPP/Logs
- use windowed mode (or full screen if already in windowed)
- use "run as administrator"
- use tfh launcher instead the mod launcher (if there is one)
- use win XP SP3 compatibility mode
- move HOI3 from program files to another directory
...

Good luck, you are not alone! It took me 6 hours of testing to run Bice without CTD, now it's pure pleasure

- move HOI3 from program files to another directory
- use "run as administrator"
- delete the log files in My docs/../HPP/Logs
- use windowed mode (or full screen if already in windowed)

Just tried all of them, didn't work

didn't try - use win XP SP3 compatibility mode
simply because i havent had issues in the past running the mod/hoi3 tfh on this system before. so it will end up being something silly/probably wont require a download.

Do you have any more ideas?
Maybe something on my system has changed?

Is it a random crash or is it always the same day?
Do you have the crash when running the game without mod?

 

[Industrious1]

It's roughly the same time into the game, never on a particular day but its between 0-2 months then crash. once i had it crash after letting it sit loaded for a while, as soon as i loaded into my game it just crashed instantly.

No I have not tried to run it without the mod.

-Thanks for your efforts so far btw, i appreciate you

 

[thexmassteam]

If the game run fine without the mod it's mod related.
If you can't find the solution in the megathread and with my few tips then try to reinstall the game, it could help.

Thanks for your efforts so far btw, i appreciate you

You're welcome

I have exactly the same problem and I have no mods.

 

[Industrious1]

I've tried running without the mod, problem continues.

After picking the game, it just redirects me to this useless forum where I get 0 help. In the tech section, my thread got 0 replies.

You couldn't find this thread? https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...sues-fixes-workarounds-etc-megathread.612732/
You don't list your operating system but on Windows 7 the DirectX 9.0C was the solution for me (yes windows 7 has DirectX 11, doesn't matter you can install 9 and it may help) https://www.microsoft.com/nl-nl/download/details.aspx?id=34429
