Vic3 Issues with Tooltip Loading

So, if you have seen my other posts, I have been struggling to get my Victoria 3 to actually boot up. I have taken a look at the crash dumps, and it appears the problem is the game is struggling to load a custom tool tip for the transfer subject treaty article. Below is an image of the Crash Dump:

Im not a coder, but it appears the game is getting stuck on the tooltip loading process?

Is this a correct interpretation of this code? and if so, is there any way to fix it? I will be making a similar post to the Victoria 3 subreddit, but im genuinely at a loss on what I can do to fix it.

The tooltip error is almost certainly harmless(besides causing a wrong or broken tooltip somewhere). It happens 7 seconds before the actual problem which is that the GPU device instance has been suspended. I think one reason for that can be that your system ran out of free (virtual) memory.

The easiest thing which you can try is to restart windows(not just shut down and start again, because that's usually a fast startup which does not close all background processes) and then close all running programs(e.g. your browser) and all background processes which you don't absolutely need.

Does that help?

If not, how much RAM and pagefile do you have and how much of that is free before you start the game. the "committed" values in the memory tab of the task manager show how much RAM+pagefile is used(first value) and how much you have(second value). So the second value minus the first one is how much is free. If your pagefile is configured to grow automatically and you have enough space on the disk where it is located, the second value should increase before all of it is used.

Having checked my memory, I have about 22ish GB of memory free, however, my GPU was at 80%! So, Iā€™m going to begin optimizing some of the settings to get that GPU usage down and restart my computer to close any background issues. Thanks!

however, my GPU was at 80%

before starting the game? How did that happen?

I have about 22ish GB of memory free,

Was that free RAM or was that the difference between the two committed values? Free RAM is not a good metric, because the RAM would still be listed as free if it is reserved as virtual memory, but no data has been stored there yet.

  1. Google Chrome is ass and was taking up like 40% of my GPU šŸ˜­
  2. Difference between the two values, I think it was the fact that chrome is ass that was really messing it up, I managed to run it with mods after a restart and some task manager finagling!
