EU4 1.31.5.2 Performance Degrade and 'Unplayable' stutters

This is also why I quit the Qing run and why I'm now afraid to play any long runs.

Praise you Mr. Youtuber. I was lagging so much after 1700 in my Austria WC and I was thinking about dropping the run since it was unplayable. Apparently, right-clicking icon responsible for creating states fixed it and I can play normally. Once again thank you.

EU4 1.27:
Completely playable till 1600+

EU4: 1.30+
Your PC is going to brazil

Wow. Man, it breaks my heart to see EU4 dying. I have absolutely loved it since I got it in 2016, so to see how bad it's gotten over the last 2 years is heartbreaking. I quit playing for a few months when Leviathan released, and after seeing this video, I don't think that's going to change any time soon.

[cebioo]

Thank you so much for showing the states part. I was playing on 4 fps

[ggfdd]

i' very happy i found this video. i waited since last patch to play eu4 bc of leviathans buggy state. everything worked fine when i played my first small games. now i'm very close to my first wc. i didn't right click the state flag because i just leave everything open that i don't care about. it got insanely bad when i annexed a larger vassal. you're actually the first i found to mention this and it helped a lot, so thanks. but now i'm afraid if those stutters will get worse

[zegmakker]

Thank god I'm still playing 1.30 because this shit is wack

[alexanderabramov]

Guess the only solution is to only play hordes now so no campaign is long :x Theoretically, you could explore a mod like Anbennar if you’re interested, with that one specifically I found that the performance was better compared to vanilla. Now, the patch it was based on when I played it wasn’t as problematic in vanilla either, but the difference definitely was there. It’s just my experience

Same for me in my Germany 1 faith run in 1757. Near to end but just had to quit because of the unbearable lag...

[enverpashagaming]

paradox just doesnt care anymore, do they?

[xarxos]

Good thing you're getting into Vic2 then, where late-game lag is practically non-existent :)

[scottbowers]

I could honestly fucking kiss you for the random ass fact that the state flag was causing my game to be unplayable. youre a fucking legend and i love you

[larsrumin]

Played almost a full campaign with this lag before it became completely unplayable, this fixed everything, thanks a lot!

Playing on a 5600x and rtx 3070, I get these spikes after 1700. My cpu utilization never goes above 20% and gpu sits at 30-35%. I dont understand how it can lag and not just pull more resources from my system. I have 3200mhz 16gb ram and an SSD so it isn't any of my components.

[furkanerden]

Thank u ı cant belive it is work :DD Ty paradox

[blackspiders]

I'm doing a run as Madagascar, the revolution era just started and so where the lag spikes. I saw a lot of posts saying disabling the state notification helps, but I already have all my territories converted into states and still got the lag, even after unstating a state and re-state it (so I can disable the notification).

[lucaslimadocouto]

Holy shit thank you so much the game is running much better without the creating states icon

[DeutscheDemokratischeRepublik]

having similar problems, however it is, that it takes like 5-10 secs to process everything happening at the start of a new month and the overall game runs at 9 fps, meanwhile i have 16 gigs of ram, which should be more than enough to run this game

[MrPsbro]

I use to be able to get 45-60 fps late 1600's now i cant even get 15 on speed 5 from 1444

[jegosu]

Holy fuck i have been enduring the lag on late game for so long, , that one simple icon trick really helped me.. Thank you!

[HMNGnTHEhouse]

And I thought it was just me man. Can’t even play this damn game till the end anymore
