Performance

[Arsenicnisse]

Hello, the game speed is very very slow for me, it was slow in 1.5 but now it's even slower in 1.6.
Even when the game has slowed to a crawl my CPU usage stays very low, is there any solution for this?
I have a AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and 16GB RAM.

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

First steps made no difference.

Your AMD Ryzen 5 2600X is only just faster than the games minimum requirement, the AMD® FX 8370, but has a slower clock and fewer processors.

Your GPU is fine, so I guess the issue here is the CPU. Given that, I don't think there's much can be done about this, I am sorry! Certainly unload every other app you can before starting the game.

I feel like the recommended requirements on the steam page should probably be upped in that case.

Anyway, thanks for the help and quick replies.
