In Review Horrible Stuttering/FPS Drops During Map Zoom/Pan

Hey Guys, since the reports for this appear to be steadily increasing I'll get our Rendering Programmer to take a look at some of the reports that have been made and see what we can do.

For users on 40 Series GPU's that have updated their Drivers, there is a general call to rollback to the December 2024 Drivers due to 572.XX Drivers causing regressions on older GPU's.

Game developers urge Nvidia RTX 30 and 40 series owners rollback to December 2024 driver after recent RTX 50-centric release issues

Rolling back to older drivers seems to be the only fix for some.

Not sure if this is helpful information but I'm experiencing this as well, and it does seem to be exclusively caused by the new hand-crafted giant kings map features. I have all DLC, a 3090 and the latest drivers. Additional chatter elsewhere indicates this issue is triggered by mods that add additional units like Expanded Cultural Units.

Could be both issues affecting things differently. Any mods that add Units currently are causing performance issues because they're no longer up to date to our modularity systems. That will be something that the Modders themselves will need to address, we can't do anything there. Issues that may be originating from 50 Series Hardware or 572.XX Drivers is something we can investigate and possibly apply mitigations for.
