Hello!

Got a new laptop for travel/work and trying out Victoria 3 on it.

Every 4 ticks, when a new day dawns, the game hangs up. Video freezes, can't pan, or anything. Lasts about half a second, then the next 3 ticks rush by, rinse and repeat.

Otherwise it runs fine. CPU or GPU aren't maxed out. All the other ticks run nice and fast. Disabling vsyinc and capping at 60fps, or lowering the graphics quality doesn't do anything, other than make the rest of game run lightning fast. Laptop is plugged in on high performance mode.

CPU: Intel Ultra 7 165H
GPU: RTX A2000 ADA
32gb Ram

Also weirdly, the space bar and number keys don't work for pausing/unpausing or changing game speed.

Any help would be appreciated!
 
Figured it out...but for anyone who has the same problem: it was OneDrive. It was backing up all new files the game made in the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria 3 folder in real-time which slowed things down...considerably.
