Disable ironman autosaving every week

[Blitzcraig]

It's annoying how my game has to freeze when im doing something important and costs me a battle, is there a way to disable the autosaving every week and move it to a month

Ironman is forced saved to the week or on exit. Turn off ironman and you can choose the interval.

There is not. The very idea behind ironman is, to make savescumming extremly hard...well ok the idea is to make it impossible, but it still is.
So by saving weekly it ensures, that there will always be a pretty damn recent save, so that you are even less likely to be able to revert a blunder via savescumming.

I understand it just makes ironman such a headache to play with the constant freezing

there is no way for ironman

If you have freezes! Better toggle Ironman off!
For me the game has been stable even at 1956 so late game. But if you have technical problems they can be really annoying in Iron man mode! So better turn it off in your case!

a no save ironman mode would be good for him if the games doesnt frequent crashes

i may have a solution but first i have questions
1. what speed do you play
2. what speed do you have or pause when you do something (assigning orders ,troops ,tech)
3. do you frequently pause or slow down
4. do you have alot of small armies or a couple big ones

5 speed when nothing is going on then 2 speed when microing
yes i pause constantly
2 big armies usually along with a garrison army that occupies borders

yeah the game hates pausing i would try to go slowest speed instead and 5 speed is fine also if you not already tried lowering the graphics settings otherwise from what it seems like it rerenders the animations of troops or planes

this game has 3 problems that dont get fixed
1. frequent saves if you pause
2. the enemy makes 100 armies with 200 divisions that are all able to condense into 48 good divisions in 2 armies (this causes freezes and lags because they recalculate what they should do and give alot of microorders because 10 armies instead of 1)
3. buckets of planes and naval vessels when alot less would be fine or more condensed there is no need to account for every vessel instead have vessel divisions with 20 in there or other ways to handle more units

Ironman saves far more often than once a week. It also automatically saves upon certain events, template changes, etc. Which as mentioned previously it is to prevent save scumming and I have tried to reverse a bunch of bad decisions, template changes, etc and found it saved more than once a week. Which is ironic because nothing stops a person from manually copying the file...lol.

Kind of lost on how whether the game saves or not determines winning or losing a battle.

Anyways...have you disabled Steam cloud saves and OneDrive yet?

I remember playing CK2 ironman, where it would be saving for 12 seconds, and then running for about 5 seconds seconds

From my understanding the steamcloud doesnt effect anything until you exit or launch the game When its running everything is done locally.
This may be circumstancial and vary for different steam products, I am unsure of much beyond that and this is from my dialogue with official valve staff, which is ..... well Ill let you judge their credibility on your own. :)

I think it stores the hour by hour results until the battle is completed, with the battle results being stored in the combat log.
