There's a fix for the insta-crash that others have described for version 1.71, I experienced it too. After unpacking, the "Crusader Kings 3" game folder may be inside a parent folder or two named after the rar file. Something like "Crusader.Kings.III.Royal.Editionblahblahblah". Replace those folder names with "CK3" and for some reason the game stops crashing.

How to run the game from the launcher

  1. Go to the launcher folder in Crusader Kings III
  2. Open launcher-settings with notepad
  3. "distPlatform": find the "Steam" section
  4. Change Steam to gog, save it and run it as a launcher
I used a translator, but hopefully the intent is conveyed.

hey guys i figured out how to make the dlc work. step 1 you have to go to file location of your game then go back once then find binaries. step 2 is go to the original file you downloaded after you unzipped it and remove the contents of codex to the binaries file in step 1. just replace the files. step 3(i dont know if this one was nesecery) go to file location of your game and find launcher file.step 4 click on launcher settings and replace "steam" with "pdx".step 5 open dowser file inside launcher file and then close it

I managed to fix problem with crash on launch - the problem was too long path or invalid characters in path to some .yml files.

Solutions is to rename 'Crusader.Kings.III..Royal.Edition.v1.6.0.1' directory name to something simpler, e.g. 'a'

HOW TO LAUNCH THE GAME
The game can be launched by clicking on "ck3.exe" NOT dowser.

HOW TO USE DLC
In order to launch the game with dlcs you must first go into youe game folder and click on a folder called "launcher" open the file called "launcher-settings.json" with any text editor and find "distPlatform": "steam"
and change it from "steam" to either gog or pdx, override the original file and then open dowser select the dlc's of your choice and then close dowser and launch the game as stated on the previous step.

HOW TO USE mods

  1. make sure you are logged in the launcher and paradox plaza
  2. follow the steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQpmKaJygpo
  3. DO NOT launch with dowser, follow all the previous steps but launch with ck3.exe

Good game.
If you want to use mods, put them in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod
it should be a folder and a .mod file with the same name as the folder.
Then disconnect your internet and close steam (might not be needed, but better safe than sorry) and go to into launcher\ in the game files and start dowser.exe
you can't start the game from there, but you can change the mods, just create a new playset and add the mods you want.
Alternately, edit the dlc_load.json (in the same directory as he mod folder) manually.
I tested this with elder kings 2 v0.10.3 downloaded from nexus mods, and it works for me.

The DLC seems to be missing the throne room feature for whatever reason? Like every other feature but the throne room is intact. Not sure if this is because it was not in this update or if it was an error in the creation of the crack but regardless would like it to be fixed.

Hello friends, bros, and curious ones, I don't really understand the pinned comment since the game is already cracked when you unpack it.

Anyway for those crashing on startup and the others wanting to activate DLCs and Mods :

  1. Change the folder name of the game from : "Crusader.Kings.III.v1.13.1.2.ALL.DLC" to "CK3"
  2. To launch the game use the "ck3.exe" file located in : "CK3/game/binaries/ck3.exe"
  3. To activate DLC and/or mods go to launcher : "CK3/game/launcher"
  4. Open "launcher-settings.json" with a text editor "notepad" i.e.
  5. Modify the line <"distPlatform": "steam",> to <"distPlatform": "pdx",> (without <>)
  6. Open "dowser.exe" and close it after it loads all the mods
  7. Play the game with "ck3.exe" from step 2.
For Mods :

Is the game any good now?
Also for people having issues, I recommend buying PDX games and pirating the DLCs. Base game is often 80% off very early. Makes your life easier with mods as well.

The "issues" like editing the launcher settings properly shouldn't be a problem since it's what's expected when you're pirating. For the mods, they are not really that complicated to manually add although ck3 is a bit more tedious since you also need the .mod file and makes sure it has the correct path. The only reason I would give anyone to buy the base game on steam is for them to avoid stability issues. Idk why (maybe it's because this ck3 release is pre-installed) but somehow my pc runs Ac Unity and witcher 3 smoother than this release.

I meant more for convenience than stability, the game also updates frequently with new content.

I think your expectation for people who pirate games are way too high, 90% has trouble manually copying the crack folder.

When you open .iso file there should be a folder named "RUNE", which contains folders "binaries" and "game", all you have to do is to copy/replace those contained files to their corresponding folders.

In the lancher, it can show the mod and it also can join it in to the list, but it can not use when I start the game from the launcher, in the game, it just like I never use the mod.

Basically instead of having to rule a piece of land like in CK2 or old CK3, you can now run around leading a band of adventurers/mercenaries/pilgrims and travel around the world freely. You even have special camp buildings and what not for your group.

So you can now play an actual viking that goes around battling and pillaging as they did historically, upgrade your troops in the downtime, and go back to looting and fighting.

Oh and this works with custom characters too.

Issue solved.
Who ever cracked this version didn't have DLCs so the ...\game\dlc folder was empty. To solve the issue, just copy and paste the DLC files from the last version you have (if you kept it) to the current latest version of crack.
I could probably create a download link, but beware. DLCs are most likely outdated in content.

The game is already cracked when unpacked. I changed "steam" to "pdx" in launcher-settings.json. I ran the dowser as administrator. But neither the DLCs are verified, not the mods are loaded.

Note that I did not forget to add paths in descriptors of the mods.

Hopefully, this helps. This is what I always do.

2.) I edit distPlatform and gameDataPath to look like this:

"distPlatform": "pdx",
"gameDataPath": "%USER_DOCUMENTS%/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III",

3.) I keep everything else as is.

4.) Save the edit.

5.) Launch dowser.exe.

I don't know if I did anything wrong, but when I downloaded the game and copied the entire RUN folder to the game folder and after running the launcher, the DLC still doesn't turn on and I still don't know how to fix it?Uploaded Image

Update: I finally opened all the DLC packs. The reason is that at first I edited the "launchersetting" file from "steam" to "pdx" so when I entered the game it didn't have DLC. Now I tried not to edit the "launchersetting" file and leave it as default and then add the game to Steam and click play so the DLC packages will appear (sorry because this is google translation so please understand)

How to do ?

Run dowser.exe in the launcher folder with admin rights. The game should load up with your installed mods. Atleast that is how it solved the problem for me.

What am I doing wrong? I keep getting an invalid Json parse error when trying to launch from dowser.
"distPlatform": "distPlatform": "pdx",
"distPlatform": "distPlatform": "steam",

neither of those work. My install game precracked, game loads fine, all DLC, etc... For some reason I cannot get this to launch. I have all files extracted into

"gameDataPath": "%USER_DOCUMENTS%/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III",

I moved game to steam directory and can launch from steam. Going to try and use the workshop.

Steam is default, but I cannot load it through steam. I messed up the file edit and had double inputs of displatform. That was crashing the launcher. Now I need to sort out how to get this working with steam, so I can use mods. I will switch back to the steam for launch and then hopefully figure it out.

Because you still not crack it before start game. After install, you must open .iso file, you will see "RUNE" folder, copy all files in that folder and paste to your game's dir, enjoy ;)

You can see tutorial here too (it same for almost games):

The game isn't working from this install because some files are not installing properly or something. I tried launching it yesterday, with virus defender off and everything while installing and it just didn't work.

Do I really have to explain what a false positive is? The method used to crack games is similar to the method used to code m-a-l-w-a-r-e! Anti-virus programs will detect the crack as a virus and delete it, even though it isn’t! :)

I see, thank you for your explanation. Maybe next time you can separate the crack and the installer, and put the instruction the turn off AV before cracking.

If you haven't install the reddist runtime the game wont work, so you need to install em first. Just Search in google, "Reddist All In One" i always use the one that's provided by Tech Power Up. Just Extract the Files and run the Bat files to install all of em. Then you should install direct x as well. hope that helps

there's actually a mod made by community, just look up for CK3 Spolszczenie, i've used it for a long time, sometimes it still shows english texts especially when using some other mods as you would expect, but if you don't mind it then it's fine

you can look up for Polish translation mod. As far as I know, the game come out in English language with option in some others language but I never see Polish language in the option

Oh and you can't use the mod that you downloaded using STEAM without making some change before it show up in the game launcher. For tutorial for this, you can look up "using mod non steam download CK3"

Check if the mod you want to use is compatible with your current game version. You can check your current game version in the main screen of the game, probaly on lower left (if I'm not mistaken)

For those of you having game crashes every 20-30 minutes, try running the game on Vulkan instead of DirectX 11. Worked for me.

On the folder you downloaded the game there is a "launcher" folder, in it you have a file named "dowser", that's the launcher. Open the launcher and probably you won't have the mods folder prepared yet. So in "Playsets"/"Installed Mods" select the option "Publish Mod". Put all the information required and after doing it a folder called "mod" will appear in Documents > Paradox Interactive > Crusader Kings III > mod.

You then need to download and extract the files into that mod folder (Recomended site: https://catalogue.smods.ru/game/crusader-kings-iii/).

Then go back to the launcher and create a playset with the mods you downloaded. Remember to check if they are activated (I also recommend learning about the load order of mods), anyway, just launch the game and have fun ^^

to enable debug mode in windows:

  • Go to your CK3 directory, "binaries" folder
  • Right-click ck3.exe and create a shortcut
  • Right-click the shortcut, open Properties
  • In the Target field add -debug_mode at the end (so it looks like this "...\ck3.exe" -debug_mode)
  • Launch the game using the shortcut
