Game is ruined with excessive memory usage?

[Die Dame des Berges]

I don't know what happened, but the game used to play perfectly on my 8GB RAM computer roughly up to the Persia dlc.. now the game is barely functioning. almost 25 minutes to load the menu, and then its super slow.. it consumes basically all memory possible. WTF happened to the game?

The worst part is that I see many people experience the same, but there seems to be no official reply from the devs. Does the game officialy require more GB RAM, or is this some bug that they are solving?

Can you provide the rest of your system specifications, please? GPU, CPU, etc.

Thank you! Follow up questions: Which, if any, mods are you using? Additionally, are you running the game off of a traditional hard drive or a solid state drive?

Mods seem to make no difference, I turned all off and it is exactly the same.
I am using a HDD

Doesn't sound like a memory issue to me.

Sounds like your HDD is starting to fail or get overwhelmed.
You could free up space on the HDD, that would help it out.
But you really should use an SSD instead of an HDD. SSDs have much longer lifespans and are waaay faster.

I hope you find a solution.

Small correction, it appears I have two disks with one being HDD and the other SDD.
Ill try to reinstall CK3 to the other, and see what happens

Unfortunately, there is no difference when I reinstall the game to the other disk

While I hope you got your issue resolved, if you did not you can contact the game manufacturer directly at:

Good luck with it. Most issues here are 'users helping users' and if they aren't fairly quickly resolved, they lapse into the archives.
