my CK3 crashed so hard it made a 1.5 GB text file

[@Cup_ofpride]

Love this, but what the fuck?

[@nedybanez-johnson1217]

Sounds like a segmentation fault after a recursion error. Essentially there's a loop that has no end condition so it writes and writes and writes until it tries to write on some thing the operating system has labeled as "no touchy"

[@ManWittVan]

CK3: _tries to touch something the OS has_ OS: "No, no, don't touch me there. This is my no no square." CK3: _CTDS and produces gigabytes of error text_

[@nedybanez-johnson1217]

This guy computers

[@sh1mok]

​@@ManWittVan no, CK3 was going bug mode and tried to write to the OS's sector and was instantly obliterated

[@oscarmeow5348]

I saw someone on Reddit post a 1.2 terrabyte text file once for a different game, essentially there's probably a mod conflict that causes a looping error to occur which gradually fills up a text file. It's pretty common in that game however most people notice when it gets to a few gigabytes, that guy simply had the hard drive space for an entire terabyte.

[@baronbrummbar8691]

i had a ~1.3 TB once aswell ......... i was like wait why the fuck is my 2 TB hard drive full it is separat and has only paradox games, hitman, rimworld and Gothic on it

[@ElCidCampeador1994]

I dont remember the size, but few months ago I saw a person which the game created a 200GB error file.

[@NotFunctional-ever]

What the fuck did you do!?

[@SOMEGUY7893]

Yeah I had a 30GB one once because a mod I had had some minor error that had no effect on the game kept happening basically every tick so it filled up the error log. very quickly.

The user @oscarmeow5348 explain better the case I spoke here. It was a 1.2TB in other game.

[@Hsereal]

Now I'm imagining some malcontent monk nailing that crash report to Cara's hard drive.

[@Satirical_fella]

the hard drive reformation

[@willfreakman86]

That's crazy. I didn't know such a thing was possible

[@jimfilbert1928]

This is why the “every_x” effect in CK3 modding is so dangerous. I was working on a mod that was supposed to run an effect once a year for every_living_character, but didn’t realize it was essentially doing every_living_character = { every_living_character. Which in layman’s terms means it was running a total of every_living_character * every_living_character times. So if there are 30k characters in game then every year it was running 900,000,000 times WHOOPS

[@twobeans]

Notepad++ was made for moments like these.

[@ikaerus_1941]

Not only it created crash txt files, it crash dump files as well. And the dump files are notoriously huge. Like, I had it go up 20gb

When you crash creates an Encyclopedia

[@garethwilkins6744]

Send it to paradox to give them a laugh. Or maybe we should turn this into some kind of a speedrun catagory.

[@lowkey40]

I once had a 300 gb log file from Rimworld and that really messed my drive up.

[@DocsDomainX]

Normal for how computers typically have a stop crash to prevent itself from burning out from doing something to infinity.

[@TheM8]

...how?

[@OverlordMalarkey]

When Ciri said "Im back" i expected the TF2 domination jingle

[@Empty_Illusion]

I have no clue how you managed this. A decent chunk of my campaigns are done with 120+ mods and I’ve never gotten over a 500mb file and I thought that was pretty big. Congratulations

[@ryannowo5954]

That's insane

[@quandaledingle6360]

Happens all the time for me. Typically 2.5GB, and no mods

[@aephos.overwatch]

All the time? I would verify game files in steam

[@quandaledingle6360]

@@aephos.overwatch already tried that. Tried a fresh reinstall on a new SSD too

[@Quizer9O8]

Are we sure this is an error and not the game giving literal birth?

[@mixter1257]

That's what they had in mind when saying "An heir is born" when announcing CK3 XD

[@Wyrd-Oh]

Rimworld can do a similar thing when you exit the game with a ton of mods installed. It just hangs there and if you don't nuke the process with task manager it will just keep writing to the log file. I didn't notice one time and suddenly got the "drives full" message from Windows and found a 300gb file waiting for me.

[@n.d.khrapov]

i think my error file was at some point around 300gbs, i was writting my own mod which reduced the size of the playable map to just british isles and iceland, and it was that heavy because the game repeatedly tried calling for events, characters, and provinces that didnt exist on the map, but were present in the game files, which resulted in a huge error log file

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

Why would you want Iceland? Why not just the British isles?

[@BZFTech]

use notepad++ instead

[@fergusthompson6305]

Wow I'am early. You make really good videos

[@kingpoxy2289]

so your tellin me, someone single handedly broke the laws of physics, time, and matter playing a paradox game... ehh it was bound to happen one day

[@sandwich934]

Crusader Kings 3 The pale death of the CPU's

[@Eris._.]

Exact same thing has been happening to me as well! Even without the mods it’s crashing! :(

[@Scruffynerfherder10]

imagine 10gb of error files for using unreal engine, and get back to me...

[@h3rteby]

From what I can tell the actual errors that cause crashes don't show up in the errors file though. I think it only contains non-fatal errors, which are continuously logged while you're playing the game, mostly AI decision errors from the ~30.000 NPCs.

[@clementpruvost8670]

try opening it with notepad++ for the fun of it

[@mopule20100]

I can't even imagine...

[@luisvillanueva813]

This has been a pretty common issue for about a year. Not sure id anyone figured out how this happens

[@Meacuerdo_]

Send it to Paradox so they have to read it

[@Kookiebourra]

My steam managed to loose all my save files from all of my steam games so I have to restart all of them

I had to turn off error files in paradox games because they kept filling up my hard drive

i was playing stellaris one day and the entire computer crashed and my drivers vanished i had to restart haha

Try cracking it open with notepad+

[@isaiahvaldez3330]

Is it possible to learn this power

[@muse5722]

You probably had conflicting mods which were generating repeating errors every single game day
