Anisotropic filtering (AF)
- Open
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\Settings.txt
- Go to
anisotropic_filtering=0
- Change this value to any number greater than 0 and less than 8 for varying degrees of anisotropic filtering.
Windowed
- Open
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\Settings.txt
- Change
fullscreen=yes
tofullscreen=no
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Whilst this feature is not natively supported, a similar effect can be achieved by setting the game to windowed mode and setting a custom resolution.
Open %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\Settings.txt
Change fullscreen=yes
to fullscreen=no
Now locate the line dictating resolution:
size= { x=[Desired x-axis resolution value] y=[Desired y-axis resolution value] }
Set the values for x and y to your monitor resolution and the game will run in a borderless fullscreen windowed mode. Note some text-blurring may occur.

Issues and Fixes
Activation Code Length
If your activation code is too short for the code input box upon installation, fill the additiona spaces with the character 'X', e.g. for a code formatted as AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCC
you would input it as AAAA-ABBB-BBCC-CCXX-XXXX-XXXX
.
Graphics Card Stress/Overheating
This is a likely cause of a game crash if your system only just meets the minimum system requirements to run the game. With such crashes, usually your graphics card will be at fault. One way to reduce stress on your graphics card is to turn off some of the more system-intensive options.
- Open
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\Settings.txt
- Change
draw_trees=yes
to draw_trees=no
- Change
draw_rivers=yes
to draw_rivers=no
- Change
draw_postfx=yes
to draw_postfx=no
- Change
draw_sky=yes
to draw_sky=no
- Change
draw_bloom=yes
to draw_bloom=no
This will prevent the game from rendering trees and thus significantly reduce the amount of information your graphics card has to process, in turn reducing the overall load on your system.[1]
Multiplayer Incompatible Versions
Your game version is given by "CK2 v<version> (<checksum>)" (for example, "CK2 v1.06 (YYEV)"). After a multiplayer match, its possible for the checksum to change in some PCs (for example, to "CK2 v1.06 (ZYEV)"), while the others keep the same checksum. This won't allow you to play in multiplayer due to incompatible versions.
Restarting the game fixes this problem.
