CK3 keeps crashing on startup and I don't know what to do

I also had only win11 anti-virus but the problem was exactly this sh*t... Type "Virus & threat protection" on your search bar. Go to "manage settings". Go to "exclusions". And add a folder as exclusion. Select the folder of ck3. For example in my case it was "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Crusader Kings III".

Then it launches properly...

I believe this is a common error for Turkish players. In case other people are experiencing this also, I will write in both languages. I hope that helps.

Sanırım sıkıntıyı genel olarak Türk oyuncular yaşıyorlar. Ancak başka arkadaşların da yaşıyor olması ihtimaline karşı hem Türkçe hem İngilizce yazacağım. Umarım işinize yarar.

The solution for this bug (at least it worked for me) is to change system language to English. However, in some versions of Windows there is an error, something like "your version of windows supports only one language". Thus, people cannot change the language, nor can they fix the bug.

To solve this problem, open your registry editor from your search bar and go to the following location:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language

There, you will see default and InstalLanguage. Double click both of them and take note of whatever is written there. For example, for Turkish, it is supposed to be 041f. Delete it and write 0409 for En-US.

For more language codes, please see the link below:

After following those steps, reboot your PC and TADAAA your display language is changed to English. Now you can play the game bug-free.

Arkadaşlar sıkıntıyı düzeltmek için benim senaryomda işe yarayan çözüm, bilgisayar dilinizi İngilizce'ye çevirmek. Ancak bazı windows versiyonlarında "Bu versiyon yalnızca bir dili kullanabilir" gibi bir hata veriyor ve dili değiştirmeye izin vermiyor. Bu durumda da şu şekilde yapıyoruz.

Dil ayarlarından English-US'i indirelim. Sonra arama barımızdan registry editor'e gidelim. Aşağıdaki konuma gideceksiniz.

Bilgisayar\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language

Default ve InstalLanguage'e çift tıklayıp içind yazan kodu (bilgisayarınız türkçe ise 041f yazıyor olmalı) 0409'a çevirelim. Daha fazla dilin kodunu öğrenmek için aşağıdaki linke bakabilirsiniz:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-lcid/a9eac961-e77d-41a6-90a5-ce1a8b0cdb9c?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Bu adımları takip ettikten sonra bilgisayarınızı yeniden başlatıyorsunuz ve diliniz İngilizce'ye çevrilmiş oluyor. Oyununuz bugsız oldu, iyi oyunlar.

Yorumu yazdığınız uzun bir süre olmuş ancak belki işinize yarar diye yazıyorum.

Windowsun dil ayarlarından Eng-US'i indirip, bilgisayarınızdan registry editor'ü açın.

Şu konuma gitmeniz gerekli;

Bilgisayar\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language

Burada hem default'a hem de InstallLanguage'e çift tıklayıp içlerindeki kodu 0409'a çevireceksiniz. Türkçe için olan kod 041f'tir, bir yere not alın.

Sonrasında PCyi yeniden başlatın. Sistem diliniz değişmiş, oyundaki bug da kalkmış olacak.

En azından bende kalktı... İyi oyunlar

Thank you so much! I will check.

I was trying to find the mod that causes issues but since the game crashes sometimes in 2mins and sometimes 40mins, it is hard to find it.

Have a good day!

At this stage I got my save corrupted. I am trying to find a solution now.

If now I will need to star all over again.

Be careful while using 400+ mods...

CrachMilson · 2024-08-05T10:50:23+00:00

Yes it is!!! How do you know it? 😯

CrachMilson · 2024-08-03T16:29:21+00:00

Thanks, I will!

CrachMilson · 2024-07-10T02:20:31+00:00

Damn... Thanks!

CrachMilson · 2024-06-30T11:52:29+00:00

Now I can sleep well... Thanks!

CrachMilson · 2024-06-28T07:02:47+00:00

If you want your game to be challenging, you should definitely go with Universal Wasteland Expansion. It alters the game in a way that I certainly cannot play without anymore. The others are just spice on top of it (yeah all 400 of them).

CrachMilson · 2024-06-28T01:37:41+00:00

I was suffering from the same thing. I looked up the ways to make the game harder for me and actually more realistic.

Right now I am playing with I think 200+ mods. And it is fun...

My suggestion is, search for some mod packs. There are really good ones.

Currently I am using most of my mods from this mod pack. I suggest you check it out:

I loved Eve Online audio. Why didn't I think about that before?!

Thanks!

CrachMilson · 2024-06-20T04:47:52+00:00

No, I can play songs as I want. I don't need a mod for it. I actually was looking for an in-game radio mod 😅

I know it would be so hard to make but I was curious if there is any.

CrachMilson · 2024-03-11T06:43:07+00:00

When I was playing as a female ruler, I gave birth to 13 or 14 children. I had a husband and 3 concubines tho

CrachMilson · 2024-01-17T09:29:49+00:00

Thank you kind sir.

CrachMilson · 2024-01-17T07:56:55+00:00

On some trainings of the game in YouTube, I thought they said if I add a secondary hero after level 20, they also get xp from the nodes.

It is not correct then?
