Hoi4 not running smoothly despite good PC

[Jäger]

Even at 1936 the Game doesn't run smoothly (or at lowest Graphics setting)

Some specs of my Pc:
-Rtx2070
-16GB of Ram
-i5 10th Gen

it only speeds up load times drastically, other than that the performance is consistent on both SSD and mechanical.

I have two 500gb SSD, this shouldn't be a problem.

It's already on the SSD. No mods installed. The game fails to properly use my CPU and GPU. Yes, other games use all the power available with uncapped framerate.

Yeah this game runs absolutely awful. I get 80+ FPS on BF5 but I can't seem to get more than 30 FPS on Hoi4, interesting.....

i get more fps on hoi4 then arma 3, even cyberpunk ran worse then hoi on my pc

What about the save files? Those are usually stored in "My Documents" which for me was on a HDD at first.

[Darrenb209]

Save files don't affect general load times or game rate. Just the auto-save speed and the loading rate.

I'm going to be honest about this game, there's something deeply wrong with how it runs things because throwing more power at it doesn't actually make the game run better 9 times out of 10. Sometimes it actually plays worse on higher end PC's than lower end.

However, I will add that your problem is likely the I5. A 10th gen I5 is slightly worse for gaming than a 9th gen I7.

Not that something like that should be necessary on a game this old, but well, Paradox has never really been that great at optimisation.

On my part, I'm on an i7 late 8th gen and I have few issues though, so it's possibly just bad luck, software combination issues or the 10th gen I5's has something that doesn't run as well on certain games.

Sometimes that just happens, especially with significantly older games with limits on how many cores they can use since a lot of modern processors swapped to adding cores instead of improving the ones they had. Hoi4 shouldn't be that old though.
