Keeps crashing

[Gustav91]

I had no issues on 1.28.xx

Now when on 1.29.1 I made it until 1453 then the game started to crash during 1453 14 times in a row. Launched a new game. 1471 and now it's crashing again as soon as I get an event the game crashes.

I tried to clear everything in the document folder, except the saved games. It was recreated.
I checked for driver updates, can't find any.

Windows 10.
Playing in borderless fullscreen.

Windows 10

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

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox/EU4 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.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 with a new campaign - NOT by loading any existing save

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.

AndrewT it still crashing but now on 1483 it goes down.

This was with a new game started after the clean reinstall, is that right? And no mods involved?

New game after a clean install.
No mods active.

Once it starts crashing in a particular save, is it repeatable? Or if you exit and reload it carries on, or crashes at a different point then?
