Late game (1944+) has been laggy since release. The only solution is to take as many European countries as possible before that point, since they spam divisions (the cause of the lag) the most. Even Millenium Dawn and other conversion mods will lag after a while too, because it's not just in the vanilla game that you'll see the AI spamming divisions.

I'm lagging to the point the game froze in 1939. I'm like cuba, all the way in ameirca. Trying to Roleplay.

That might just be a computer issue then, because 1939 should be butter smooth. I suggest lowering graphics settings, and if that doesn't work, "Better Political Map" on the workshop has been reported as being able to improve performance.

The problem is spam of divisons that Al does, solution is Better Political Map on steam workshop and put the details on low, it personally helped me a lot . People above already wrote it... i hope they will fix it soon somehow.

I don't see how it could have. It should only help due to it making the map less dense. Try playing without mods or messing around with graphics. It's possible you don't have the RAM to run the game as high as you want.

I've tried evreything, I have the ram, i've checked it all but it always just lags so hard for some odd ass reason. I've tried getting mods that elminate africa countries. and that dosent even work, the issue i have that i realized that laggs me the most is the entire axis and allied mobilizing. I don't lag in millenium dawn or kaisereich, jus tin anything asides those scenarios.

Millineium Dawn and Kaiserreich are much larger in scale than Vanilla (especially Millenium Dawn). I don't know what the problem could be, it has to be a mod that's doing it.

maybe if they programmed AI to build bigger divisions rather than more..

In Millenium Dawn you're more prone to lagging more because there's a ton of nations the game has to account for. When World War 3 kicks off in MD, it lags like crazy as all the nations (of which there's pretty much more than double than in vanilla) start building divisions.
Kaiserreich takes longer to lag because most countries are going through depressions that limit their ability to make Divisions. Once everyone stabilizes and WW2 kicks off, you'll get the same lag as vanilla.

People are most likely long gone
