Main menu problems

[Adaman5280]

The Main menu is extremely laggy for me for some reason, using up 100% of my gpu when in it, yet when i actually get into the game everything's suddenly fine?


This wasn't happening before and its happening with no mods enabled. anyone experiencing similar?

I don't recall other such reports. Is this only since the latest game patch, which was in late November? Or it was okay after that, then started doing this?

I'd say it was okay after that but then all the sudden started doing it. In all honesty its been a while since i played, dont think quite that long though.

I've also discovered that this seems to affect the barbershop as well albeit a little less so. I tried all the usual suspects, verified game files, uninstalled and reinstalled, computer on/off, etc. Not quite sure what to do.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings 3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/ folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.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

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.

Any better?
