I last played on Thursday and everything was fine, yesterday evening and this morning when I turn game it works much slower. It didn't download any game updates or files from the Steam workshop. I changed the details to the lowest, checked the integrity of the game files on Steam, reinstalled the game, launching game without any mods. The problem concerns continuing the save and starting a new game. I have the latest drivers for the graphics card. I have a laptop bought three months ago, a better model for games. For example Crusader Kings III or Stellaris, also on Steam, working normal.

Very odd as the game itself did not change at that time either! Its most recent patch was in mid-December.
Let's do a full clean re-install:
- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders - In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add Victoria3.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 with a new campaign, NOT any existing one.
Does that help? If not,
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.
IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.
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

DXDIAG showed me AMD Radeon(TM) 610M error code 22. I don't understand why my graphics card driver has turned off, but now everything works. Thank you very much for help
