Dear all,
If i start Victoria 3 via Steam and the Pdx Launcher, it just "lags".
While when I start Victoria 3 from the directory where it is installed, it runs super smooth!
It doesn't matter if run as admin or not. I can't discover any differences
However i made the following discoveries:
- if i start the launcher from the directory, it cant establish a connection with steam
-- i can "ignore" that, but it won't verify my DLC's and I can't get achievements
-- game runs super smooth
- if i bypass the launcher (yeah being a software engineer myself, that works pretty easily) and start from steam, i can get achievements and my DLC's
-- however the same problem occurs that the game is just superslow and laggy
-- I doubt the launcher is the problem.
So my conclusion is that somehow, when Steam communicates with Victoria 3, a strange process/task or whatever occurs that slows down the whole game. And i don't know what that could be. I'm so clueless. Yeah of course you might say just play from the directory but to be honest I'm a bit of an achievement hunter and ofc i want to access my DLC.
Has anyone any idea what is the problem? I'm out of clues. I'm playing on Windows and my specs don't matter because i have these problems regardless if playing on Min or Max settings.
Kind regards.
PS: I have played EUIV in the past, but haven't played for a long time. I tried it with EUIV as well and kinda have the same problems.
