Late Game Lag

[harrisone16]

Is there any way to decrease late game lag? Even playing on small and tiny galaxies, I still only get 100-150 years before the game becomes unplayable. Any solutions?

its 4.0 trASH

4.0 is more laggy than 3.14

But has anyone found ways to mitigate that?

4.0 has better late game than 3.14 because of the less calcs for the galaxy. However the best way to mitigate late game lag is to lower your galaxy size so theres not a ton of empires. This has been a tip for pretty much niven update onward to now.

Wipe out empires early. Less empires = less ships = less lag.

4.0 moved late-game lag to mid game and early game. Sadly Paradox is afraid to recognize that 50% of the lag is due to their abandonment of the 1.0 planet system and subsequent explosion in pop-counts

Ship count contributes more to late game lag than pops do.

Gods above I love paradox games but they have to optimize things better. Whatever team they have on CK3 needs to be put in charge of all projects lol

Reverting to an older version is your only option at this point, they managed to make 4.0 run worse than 3.14 despite performance being the main reason for the rework in the first place.

And of course nothing can top the performance of version 1

I've been playing with this a bit. I play large galaxies, expansive pops and tons of ships. Pre update I had zero lag end game. I am now getting "by day" lag, pulsing in my game. All Ironman, no mods. It's is something processing on a daily basis in game that appears to be causing the lag.

Stats just reference on why I don't expect any lag.

Recently a few mods were uploaded that changed the game algorithms to reduce the large numbers of small ships by increasing the number of larger ship replacements. Since comments here indicate that the ship count contributes to lag, would a better small-large ship ratio help?
