Stuttering issue.

[Aliin]

My game stutters on each day that passes while playing on any speed. Is this normal or is there a fix for this? I have no mods installed.

im having this issue too

Yep, been in the game for awhile now but after the new patch its even worse. I actually cant play the game now because it makes me motion sick when trying to speed up time. Unfortunatly this is a problem with the code, they have known about it for awhile, still haven't fixed it.

Not only does it lag after every day tick, but it also lags whenever you mouse over a tooltip that changes as you scroll. At this point this snafu is so deeply rooted in the source code that it won't be an easy fix. I'm about to uninstall and hope in a year or two they get around to fixing it.

Ya, I noticed it before the patch, but it was tolerable. Now, it's so bad I just can't stand it anymore. If what you say is true about them knowing about it, that's very dissapointing and I am sorry I gave them money for the expansion. I liked everything else, but this performace issue is troubling.

I'm having a lot of stuttering/lag issues as well. Currently, I have a large-ish empire with about 600 pops by ~2330 (Note: I've intentionally used console commands to grow it fast). For reference, in 2.1, I had a ~1200 pop empire cover about 75% of the galaxy, but nowhere near this level of stutter/lag. Also, I have a medium-size fleet, only 3 AI empires, no Fallen empires, and not even at mid-game crisis stuff yet.

When I pause the game and move around the map or system, it runs more smoothly (as in video above). As soon as I run at Normal or even Slow, I get a ton of stuttering. Running on Fastest and trying to move around the map is nauseating. Trying to click into systems, clicking on the Outliner, opening Contacts panel, etc. all also take a really long time to open, like intense computer lag (but my computer runs fine).

Is this something to do with how they changed sectors in 2.2 and micro-managing planets? So now all the planets are effecting lag/runtime? Or is it related to UI stuff?

I've tried several lag-reducing options (disable WIndows Update, remove Steam overlay, reduce graphics settings, bloom, etc.) but it's still stuttering to the point I can't really play this empire anymore.

Yeah, its been a problem for at least 6 months and at this point the game is rendered unplayable. There really needs to be a refund clause for games that get broken via patches.

[MrButBut]

With this patch the problem became a huge issue that I've never experimented before, I hope they put some love in a not-so-delayed patch.

I didn't have it within the first 150 years, but I noticed it suddenly start when my trade routes were being calculated through gateways. 'course, I don't know enough of stellaris' 2.2 coding to be sure that's the problem.

[mrxak]

Yeah, this just started happening for me. I do think it's related to gateways as I just started getting some. Is there a way to just shut down trade routes? I'd rather take the economic hit than have an unplayable game.

[Cthulhu: The Great Dreamer]

The new beta patch does help, its a step in the right direction.

[RubyCante]

before the patch i can run the late game well,atleast its running around 15ish fps with a half galaxy spaning empire on fast game speed

now after i steamroll my enemy on the new patch,after i got spamed with new sector for every fricking planet i capture the game stutter to 1 fps on each day even on the slowest game speed

if i have task manager open on the side..stellaris is only using 10% of my Ryzen CPU and around 1.5GB of Ram..so its the game it self that is broken..like everything else on this patch,the AI can't even build a fleet because the new economy is too complicated for the dumb AI

Same here, I didn't really notice the stuttering/lagging until about 100 years in. I'm assuming it has to do with how big the empire is, but maybe not since the OP video has a relatively small empire and still seeing stuttering.

Shame this has been an issue for so long... hopefully they do something about it??

Try the beta patch which just got out. See thread about it here (sorry on phone so cannot link easily)

[mrxak]

Can anyone confirm that the beta patch has fixed their daily lag?
