Problems with freezing

[🇫🇷🇺🇲Frostbite🇺]

Anyone had any problems where the game will freeze, but you can still click on icons and whatever is displayed, but the screen still being frozen? I dont get more than 5 mins of play without this happening and yesterday it actually crashed my entire PC.

Any ideas?

Same her. I can't even start a game without the whole thing freezing. Unplayable right now.

Got a 4690 and a 1070 anything above speed 2 will freeze and stutter the game regardless of settings. Infact lowering them makes it worse its pretty hilarious.

Exact same issue... I can play EUIV till 1800s and still never lag, and dont even lag with this. Just cant figure out why the display is freezing.

Mad Annoying.

Turning Map Objects Off (in the Settings - Graphics) has reduced the number of times the game freezes for me. Besides that I have autosave on monthly, so I won't have lost much when the game does freeze and I have to quit and restart the game, while waiting for a fix for this

This same thing happens to me. My laptop can play EU4 or CK2 no problem but I have to drop the graphics to the very lowest possible for this game not to get stuck video.

[edit]

And it still gets stuck after about 5 mins!

i have exactly the same problem .
yesterday after a while of freezing every 5-10 min i switched to borderless windows and was able to play for hours without freezing.
today i pickup the same save , still on borderless and it freezes up every 5 min again randomly when i open a window or progress time.
i have a brand new pc with 32gb ram, 9900k and a rtx2080 ti , so i feel i should be good there.
no problems with stuttering but the freezes are anoying as hell.

A lot of us are having stuttering and freezing, Paradox are releasing a patch this week to fix it, not sure what day.

i was able to fix the freezing issue with disabling gpu tweak so might been my overclock giving the issue

This happens for me whenever it autosaves on Ironman mode, which it does every three months.

after beeing able to play for hours now my save is freezing up again so not fixed after all :(
judging the logs i get (i'm no expert at all) it does seem to be gpu or direct x related
most of the time after a freeze the errorlog says:

[gfx_dx11_swapchain.cpp:215]: D3D error (D:\jenkins\workspace\Sulla-Live-R-Steam-Windows\clausewitz\pdx_gfx2\DX11\gfx_dx11_swapchain.cpp:215): hr returned: Het GPU-apparaatexemplaar is onderbroken. Gebruik GetDeviceRemovedReason om de juiste actie te bepalen.

edit: i also tried the .2 beta but same problem with the save

updating to a newer driver from nvdia that didn't list on xpierince yet, my freezing issues seem to be resolved

i have the same problem in every game i start, in midgame the game starts to freeze when you start a war. So far I was only able to conquer the whole map once with my 850 hours of play, all other attempts fail in the mid game, because of the damn freezing

[Plattfuss79]

oh i discovered the problem i think
the freezes are always created when an army slides over the map, in this case one of my allies, wanted to go from numidia to spain across the mediterranean, is probably a bug of the map. that there are points where the AI thinks it could take a shortcut, which in turn leads to the freezes
