[2022] Low FPS - 1FPS

Has this always been the case for you? or it was okay up to some point?

It only happens on a large galaxy, is that right? And right from the start, or only in mid or late game play? Or only after playing for a period?

Is the problem only fps? Or also slow time passing, jerkiness in zooming or scrolling, long load times? All of those perhaps?


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 .


Please report the temperatures of your CPU and video (GPU)
1/ before starting the game up and
2/ after say 10 minutes' play.
If your PC's vendor has given you no way of reading temperatures, install

In there we see the game crashing in CELib_x64.dll . Am I right in thinking that is part of a 'training' (cheat) utility? If so we need to remove that from this machine while we work on this. That might account for some of the errors in that log, which I have not seen before.

I don't see any other reason for this problem in those files. If you uninstall that cheat app and start a new test galaxy, do you still get this problem?  

I don't know how it works but is disabling it enough to make sure it is not affecting the game? Or might it have to be uninstalled entirely?

That aside I'm a little short of ideas on this one, I see nothing here to cause this to you. Is this the same computer and Stellaris installation you had previously? If so it's worth deleting the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ folder (aside from any valued saved games) so the recent game version can write the caches again. And unload GeForce Experience before starting the game.
