Do you have mods enabled?​

No

Description​

Ever since I have downloaded Hoi4, I have noticed some glitches that pop out and last for about a frame, before disappearing, this is especially common as I increase the speed the time passes. Now I have realised that when I zoom in enough, the game crashes after a minute or 2. I would attach a mp4 where you can see the glitches, but apparently I cant. Glitches like the one in the screenshot (the purple square) pop out every second or so. I dont think a save file is needed, it happens in every game.

Steps to Reproduce​

Just start the game and let the time pass. Glitches may be more frequent when at higher speeds. Zoom in and wait a minute and then it crashes

Are you playing on a save from the previous/older version of the game​

No

Hello there! Thank you for the report. Could you provide more information about your PC setup and share us files generated in your \Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\crashes folder when the game stops working? Thank you!

Sure! My laptops specs are these:
CPU:Ryzen 7 7735-hs
GPU:RTX 3050 6gb
RAM:2x DDR5 8gb
Display: 2K 165hz screen (although I caapped it to 60hz in game, with vsync), I have tried different resolutions but they didnt fix the artifacts issue (although I think they appear less frequently when on lower resolutions? idk, I dont want to confuse you).

Note: I have never tried to overclock the gpu, if that helps you. As for the game files , there are many. I will upload those that feel like uploading.

Thank you for your time! I also have a mp4 with the glitches uploaded on reddit in case you need it, but I cant attach links due to the spam filter. If you request it, I will need to find a workaround
