This sounds like a hold over from the old patch. 2.5.x had those same slowdowns every first of the month when pops got rather large.
I recently saw a tip about how to deal with desyncs that I got to try out after the release of federations. Previously we always used to try to either power through the desyncs or else to save up where we were and reload. This always just led to the desyncs happening more and more frequently until my friends would start getting game-breaking bugs. Then we'd try to reload.
Lol it was my advice
And yes, it works for our mp team (8-10ppl) Previously, if we have desync, we reload save of day where desync happen and then we again have desync in about 6 months, but after we move to load older autosave (1 year) there no desyncs for next 50 years!
What do you mean it's not your machine? You have a 2.2GHz CPU. Which is relatively slow by today's standards.
Then thank you very much! It's made a huge a difference.Lol it was my advice
3.9 Ghz, actually. And it doesn't actually matter, because before Federations, it ran fine.
you do know that his cpu boosts to 4.1? And due to stellaris engine limitations it should easily keep that boost as stellaris wont use 12 cores anyway, its laptop sure which im not a fan of but hes computer should be 100% fine in stellaris 4,1 boost, 16 gbs of ram, gtx 1070, unless theres thermal throttling included but with my issues since this patch i would blame stellaris too. Since federations patch my group just cant play multiplayer at all, huuuuge lag since the beggining (same host as before patch etc, tried different host) and then after 100+ years desync every day almost, totally unplayable since federations patch. Hes also stating that he didnt had problems before patch, so i would still be to blame software change rather than sudden hardware fault. Mr looking at dxdiag expert.
That's only if it boosts, and going by my CPU, it doesn't do it all that often. Even when Stellaris is maxing out the one core.
He also didn't say anything except that. He could have changed the settings, expecting things to be better. He could be comparing early game to late game. There's not enough data to draw any reasonable conclusion, aside that his CPU is slow, and likely stays that way, cause boost doesn't always activate.
Is that a guessed number, or a measured number? The former is largely useless, as humans are very prone to error, especially when annoyances are involved.
Eh, ok. So prior to 2.6.x we had maybe one desync every two or three complete multihour games. After 2.6.x as soon as you get desynced u got two choices: 1) drop to menu, rehost the last autosave, wait 3 min for people to download the save and hope desync would hit you 2) save after desync, rehost that save, wait 3 min for people to download the save and get desynced in hour, repeat, desync in 30min, repeat, desync in 15min, 200 years into the game? tought luck, desync every ingame month, literally. My group is not some rare case, plenty people complain on discord and reddit about it. Theres something really wrong with game since 2.6.x and if you have save that desynced once, something is broken and will literally keep desyncing you more and more often into the game. if u know the 'trick' to dont save after desync and roll with autosaves, still you will get desyncs in late game but every 30-60min lets say. Before 2.6.x we literally had maybe one late game desync in last 30hours of playtime, now we get desync every hour, so you were right, humans are prone to error, it may be 30x worse since 2.6.x.
Except in this case, it is "Works on most machines". You are the outlier, not everyone else. Therefore, something you are doing or have is different.
