I've been having this issue since 1.05, but I tried reverting to 1.04 and it still persisted. First time I got this 2 days ago in the Peace without victory mod, and I thought it was an issue exclusive to that mod, but I was mistaken. In all the mods it seems to persist. In the video below it's the mod "Fatherland".
If you watch closely, the fps is at max when the mouse is idle, even when I put it in the far of the screen to move the map and leave it here, it stays at max FPS, but once I move it, it falls drastically.
This doesn't happen instantly as I enter the game, but only after some time in it. Around 30 minutes I believe. If I save the game and restart it, the issue is gone, until it is not again..

PS: The issue persists in vanilla too.
PS2: Windows 7, already checked for integrity in steam.

I've tried reinstalling the game, still, the issue persists. I tried a handsoff game as Bhutan, and while it took more years until it happened, it still happened.
My only guess is that this might have to do something with the new Nvidia drivers. Can anyone with Nvidia GPU confirm my problem?
It's only since I updated the drivers that I kept having the issue, but yeah, I updated quite close to the release of 1.05, but is worth mentioning that I had no problems with the patch until the update of the drivers.
I would like to not rollback the drivers though.
 
If it's a driver issue maybe 388.71 updated poorly. You could use DDU: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/ then make a clean install.
Maybe something was disabled during the driver install in dxdiag. You could run the DX9c web installer to update those libraries: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
Haven't ruled out that you're not running background programs eating process cycles slowing down the game's interface.
 
Ok, so the problem was indeed with the DirectX. The updater fixed it for me. I tried another run and there's been no issue for like a hour now.
Thank you for the help!
 
It's incredibly odd, but it seems that it was Bandicam itself that was causing the issue. The first test I've done today in which I got the impression that everything was fine was done without it, but the second, it was done with it, and it just quickly hit my mind today and I gave it a go without it again, and no issue at all. It's really odd. I don't see how a program that is being used to take photos and record would be able to enter in conflict with the game as such. I will try to update it, or just change the program.
Edit: Yeah, it seems I haven't updated it for a year now.
