Engine?

[Sviothiod]

Are there any changes to the engine? Does it support multi-core processing? Or is it the same as EU4 or HOI4?

I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/victoria3/comments/nib6ur/what_engine/

also in the recommendded specs they use AMD cpu's as benchmarks, AMD cpu's being known for their great value and pushing up core counts aswell as playing on multi core cooperation so id think so.

also it is the new thing these days so we can assume so i thinks

I have no idea where the myth of Paradox games only running on a single core came from...

"Every game from CK2 onwards has been multi-threaded from release. HoI3 also had multi-threading added in an expansion. In CK2, something like 80% of the workload is done in parallel. As a result, the non-primary cores tend to stay around 40% utilization. That last 20% of the workload is rather difficult; a lot of it is things like executing script which simply cannot be parallel without a massive restructure of how things work, since script execution is inherently order-dependent."

Well, the point is than the main game engine use mainly only one core. If there are multiple cores, the other cores only use very little of those. And game is mainly bottle necked by the main core that is running 100% and everything else have to wait!

remember, this game wont have than engine so probally even ebtter i hope

It uses the CK3 engine. They have been constantly improving it.

One dev also said in yesterday's Reddit AMA that their testing does actually show scaling speed benefits from having more cores, up to at least 32 parallel threads.
