Hi everyone,

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. My EU IV runs incredibly slow (even with Speed 1). I've tried the following steps:
  • Lowering graphic settings
  • Reinstalling the game
  • Starting the game directly from the file location
But none of above works. Is there anything else that I could try to improve the performance of the game? I'm currently running the game on the latest version (I think it is 1.33.X).
 
Has this only happened since the recent 1.34.2 patch? Or before that too?

Any mods in use?

Does it happen right from game start in 1444, or only in mid or late game play? Or only after playing for a period?


Right click on eu4.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.

Edit settings.txt to say fullScreen=yes, borderless=no, vsync=no and refreshRate=60

Unload GeForce Experience if loaded.

Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode.


Is that any better?
