I have noticed that the game FPS drops like a rock when zooming into the state view. If zoomed out into the paper map view, everything works fine...but the moment i zoom into the state view where i can see the terrain, FPS drops like a rock.

Paper map view when paused : 50-60 FPS. State view when paused : below 5 FPS.

I have all graphics settings turned down to the lowest.

Specs :

cpu : i7-7700hq
gpu : gtx 1060

Yes, i have the latest nvidia drivers (october release).

Again, this is specific to zooming into the state view.

Edit : I noticed that in task manager, my cpu usage for vic 3 when paused and in the paper map view is 55-60%. When i zoom into the state view, the CPU usage jumps to 95%+. GPU usage remains steady at about 20% so this doesnt appear to be a graphics bottle neck, for some reason the state view uses an excessive amount of CPU.

The worst FPS hit seems to be at the zoom level just before city names are visible :
