Horrible Performance

[tobbe628]

Im having horrible Performance issues.
Its to the point that i do not really want to play this game at this point.

i stare at the days slowly passing by.
Anyone else having these problems?
The performance isnt even good at the beginning of the game.

PC Desktop.
HDD: NVME
CPU: R5 3600
GPU: 3060 ti
Plenty of RAM

Are there any secrets to make the game speedy again?

Done the usual reinstall, verification of files, removal of mods, reducing the graphics etc etc etc.

Right click on victoria3.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, cap refresh rate at 60.


If those don'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/Victoria3/pdx_settings.json .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log

So it used to be okay up to some point, is that right?


Please do a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add Victoria3.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, with NO mods at all in use

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.

Is that any better?

Did all the things.
Things that i added was.
CCleaner to remove excessive registry files.

The game feels smoother and runs pretty good now.
The only thing that is bothering me is the slow speed on speed 5.
But i feel that this is all i can do on my part and we'll see if they find anything to fix in the coming patches.

i will manage until that day arrives.

Thank you for your aid.
