Game Performance is super slow in 1.33. Especially post 1699.

Game was super fast in 1.32. Then I hit a bad performance hit with the France update. My 8th day of the month and month ticks take 15 seconds when my game reached 1699. It was so slow it immediately grinded my fun campaign to a halt. Even in 1444 it is noticeably slower than instant but only by three seconds or so. The save file is attached.

All the patches after 1.30.x are slower than it was, but your report that 1.33 is much slower that 1.32 is not at all the general experience!

You've attached a save - is that because only it is affected and other saves, or new test games, are not? Or does this affect the game regardless?



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 .

This is the only game I've played to that date due to its slowness.

Please that nVidia driver to Feb 2022 https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Then right click on eu4.exe , properties compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations", untick everything else in that screen, Apply and exit.

Unload GeForce Experience, if running.

Run the game to the launcher only, set Display mode to fullScreen, Vsync off, refresh rate to 60.


Is that any better now?

Hello, I am having the same problem. After the latest patch, my game runs very slow right from 1444. No difference between Speed 1 and 5.

The latest patch being 1.33.2 ? The 1.32.x patches were okay?

Because those two are not known to be very different in this respect; 1.30.x were the fastest and 1.31.1x the slowest of recent ones.

The latest patch, i.e., 1.33.2
I have 8 GB RAM, i7-7700HQ
It was running just fine on 1.32.x
Now the game runs at speed 1 even if i set it to speed 3 or 4. It takes3 seconds for one day to pass.

If you revert to the last 1.32.x patch, is that now slow? Or fast like it was before?

After reverting back, the game is as fast as it was before. Any leads on what could be done?

I updated the driver it seemed to improve things a little. I'll try the rest of the changes piece meal to see if it gets to being like it was on 1.32.

I'm guessing some economy figuring by the ai and the extra siege tick calculations are the biggest cause for 1.33 being slow.

I am having the same problem. 1.32.2 much faster/responsive than 1.33.2. The game slowdowns twice a month mid-late game on 1.33.2. I don't know why.

I played as Touggourt and Korea on 1.33.2. The game running much faster in Asian nations. When start War of Protestant League, the game become unplayable and very slowish. An another suspects: Siege tick/combat changes, amount of forts on 1.33.2. IMO these things also affect performance negatively.
