Kaiserreich lag issues

[Nocturnalx36]

Just wondering if this is a known issue or if anyone else is having similar issues. After I get up into the late 30s / early 40s, the lag gets terrible (I know it's not technically lag as it's singleplayer, but you get my meaning.) To the point that my game is freezing every few minutes, often leading to crashes.

PC specs - AMD FX8350, GTX 1070, 16gb of RAM, installed on a SSD.

The base game (more or less) runs perfectly smooth, so I'm thinking maybe it's just because so much more is going on around the world in Kaiserreich?

It's just the mod. It has many more tags, many more troops, and many more wars than the base game does. I usually can't be arsed to play past '41 since it turns into a slog, unfortunately.

Yeah it really is unfortunate, I like the focus trees and the political landscape, feels like a more finished products, but I can't sit through that lag either.

Thanks for letting me know.

It's not the mod - it's the crappy game engine. You can try No Lag mod - may help a little

it is the mod just bc you hate the game doesn't mean you know everything

im running fineish with about 10k divs on my screen and say 10k ships

It's the mod, by 1940 the game is running very slow, compared to regular HOI4 that is.

Still very fun even at the slow pace you have to play it at.

My game runs slow starting around '40 with no mod

no it doesn't

it would be very hard to find something to make late game hoi4 eu4 or stellaris run better tbh they run pertty good for how much stuff is going on oc you can get aton of lag and get down to 1 or 2 fps but you can't find a game where you can't

300-400k things going on is very hard to run

they have to just for focuses to run as they do (for other nations)
1. keep how long is left updated
2. if you can see it
3. if you can see it can you see other focuses
and you have to do that for EVERY nation
so say 3 (thats being very nice) times say 30 which seems like a fair number of nations
thats 90
just for focuses and its likely higher
its more likely to be 10-20 per nation which is alot more then 90

and think about combat how many things it needs to check every tick (hour) for every combat going on

I don't disagree that there's a lot going on, the game runs respectably well for me in singleplayer even in lategame. It's mainly *just* Kaiserreich. That said, there's always room for improvement, I'm sure they'll find a way to further improve performance if not in the future for Hoi4, 5 will surely have changes in optimization strategies.
