System requirements with all the DLC's?

[ranssi92]

Hey does anyone have any idea what are the recommended system requirements with all dlc's? I'm slightly above what steam recommends, but even with downgraded graphics my game has to load for several minutes, crashes daily and can't use more than a couple minor mods.

My computer is getting up there with 5 years of use so that might be the problem but before getting a new one I would like to know what are today's or the future recommendation (after chapter III). I'm really looking forward to this year. Just hoping that my computer can take the punishment or that I can scrounge up the money to get a new pc.

5 years isn't long. Nobody needs a whole new PC after 5 years unless the PC was already poor when they got it - they're not consoles. You can just upgrade the needed components easily, it's cheaper and can be quicker, you can even sell the old components.
I upgraded my PC not long ago, but even before that it was a 7/8 year old system capable of playing CK3 at max settings.

Simply upgrade. This game is mostly CPU intensive, so that would be best to upgrade first. Also make sure the game is installed on an SSD for faster loading, that's all that matters for loading really.
As for crashing, try just playing without the mods and see how stable your game is first. After that it could just be your CPU needing upgraded as mentioned, but you also mentioned mods. It could be that the mods are buggy, not meant to work together or you're using the mods on the wrong version of the game. Basically, if you use mods then you kinda waive all rights to complain about performance or stability.

DLC doesn't really increase system requirements beyond just storage.

"Minor mods" and "crashes daily" though

Only royal court requires a better pc. Without it, you could play this game with a gtx 1050ti and 8gb of ram

Hey,
Thanks for your answers just got a new PC day before yesterday. Now the game runs beautifully with high graphic setup and even more mods. Game's startup time went from several minutes to 20 seconds. Haven't had a single crash with about 10 hours of gaming.

New PC has i5-13400F / 16 GB / RTX4060 / 516G SSD memory(last one had it as well). Got it at just 950e. Anything more powerful would have cost more than 1200e.
