[2023] CK3 very laggy and freezes every 2nd day of the month (Ingame)

Is this just in one particular campaign? If so, and there is a large empire that controls say 1/4 of the map or more, AND a civil war, rebellion or world war breaks out, you could well see this - just too many units on the map.

Or is this also happening in a new test campaign you might start?  

If you drop down to speed 4, do you also get this?  

Speed 5 is different to the others; you are effectively saying to the game "run as fast as the hardware allows, regardless of the effects on the game's visuals or user experience".

All I can really suggest is run at 5, when it lags drop down to 4.  

You get that at speed 4 too? What about when paused?


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/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log  

PepeTheClown said: You mean the lagging when scrolling? Yeah i get that at every speed and also when paused.

Heres the files:

system.log and error.log are empty

Right click on ck3.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:
