Game freezing

[Pouchi]

Hi !

I have similar issues with olther threads.
Right after I updated my game to 1.34.4, I tried to continue my Japan game. The game froze literraly for 10 seconds every 15 days to 2 months, it was unplayble. Never had any issue like this before.
So, I tried to start a new game in 1444, same problem.
I have : all DLC (no origin) ; Windows 10
I deactivated Geforce ; verified the files ; revert to 1.34.3 and 1.33.3 ; start with administrator mod ; deactivate Lions of the North : nothing worked.
Idk what to do ?

After a few testing, I can add some details :
When I freeze the first hundred years, I can do any action that I want. Only, those actions doesn't work before the end of the freeze. For exemple, I can click (in the 10 seconds of the freeze) on like a mission, debase currency, take a loan : all this will appear at once, when the freeze is over.
After 1600 it's different, my game literraly stops responding until the freeze is over.

A detail : those freeze can happen at any time, not always at the start of the month, and there is no scheme : I can have 2 freeze within 3 days, and then no freeze for 3 months.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4 folders
In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test with a new campaign - NOT any existing one




IF that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/EU4/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .
