[2023] perfomance issue

We can't help with modded games here - is that save modded or unmodded?

And did you attach it because it shows the problem whereas others do not? Or you get this in every galaxy you play?  

That save runs perfectly fine for me!


Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere, and user empire designs.txt from /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ if you have made any custom empires or races.
- "uninstall" in Steam-Stellaris
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Stellaris AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add stellaris.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

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Stellaris or Documents Stellaris locations, before installing again.


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 .  

That error .log looks like there were still mods in use! Are you sure there were no files or folders left under either the Steam Stellaris or Documents Stellaris locations, before installing again?

And you disabled ALL Mods in the launcher before starting this galaxy?


Your Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics is above the minimum requirement, but below the recommended ones, as it has almost no VRam of its own (it borrows it from the system memory).

Display Memory: 4045 MB
Dedicated Memory: 128 MB
Shared Memory: 3917 MB

Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 7834MB RAM
Page File: 13216MB used, 2723MB available

Something is using a LOT of your memory and paging file! Try unloading every other app you can before starting this game.


And finally, Right click on stellaris.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 to refresh rate 60.


Does any of that help?
