Victoria 3

[Richard Hakluyt]

Very odd. V3 used to crash on my old intel machine and is now very stable on my win11 AMD X3D machine

I run the game on an AMD rig. It works fine, but I've turned off all the bells and whistles that AMD offer with CPU and GPU.

HoI4 would not work because I had those aforementioned bells and whistles turned on.

Could you adjust the RAM speed in BIOS and just see how it goes, Syt?
Victoria 3 does have an extremely long load time even from an m.2.

I noticed I was missing an optional Windows update, so I installed that. I've been able to run an observer game now till 1901 (took about 2.5 hours) ... fingers crossed that this is the issue resolved.
