[2023] Unbalanced CPU/GPU Usage - AMD Adrenaline Software Problem

I have not seen other similar reports, as yet anyway.

Do you know what changed in your system to cause this? A Window, AMD or other update?



Right-click on stellaris.exe, properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullscreen optimizations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply, and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select the fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, refresh rate 60 .

If that doesn'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/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .  

If this is an issue caused by a Windows update, it's really beyond me to fix. That said, we'd expect more than just your one report if that was the case!

Does this also affect CK2, EU4, and HOI4?

TomSparks said: I closed it out and changed Properties as you suggested

That is not shown in the settings.txt you attached - are you sure you did that after your re-install?
