[2023] Constant CPU spikes and Stutter ONLY in Multiplayer

I don't recall any previous such reports. Has this always been the case since you've had the game? Or it was okay up to some point?

Is this whether you are host or not?

Does it affect the other players ort just you?

If you set Stellaris and HOI4 to use the same MP service Nakama as CK3 uses, do you get the same issue there?  

Zar Alexander said: Yes, I have tested with 2 different players yesterday. Seperate lobbies. First with one mate, then with the other.
I still want them to test without me, to see if they have that stutter.

Please let me know here, either way. My guess is they will not see it.

Zar Alexander said: How do I set stellaris and HOI4 to use Nakama? I read that HOI4 doesnt use nakama?

Run HOI4 from the Steam PLAY button, Nakama is one of the options in the mini-menu you see there.

For Stellaris, it is in the launcher-game settings menu as Cross Store MP.  

I see! As it seems this is a code issue it will need a code fix. Please make a new thread in Bug Reports and past ein all this info there for QA to look into.
