“Paradox did a somewhat decent job optimizing CK3 so surely Vicky 3 will get a similar treatment, right?”

these cockfucks said 1.6 was going to have performance improvements and it literally made the game 3x slower at the start and it's still this way and they're just like "idk ummmm AMD???"

This is exactly how Stellaris went for years.

Paradox - "Hey, this patch should make Stellaris run 2x faster after 2300!" Reality - Game runs more sluggishly than ever

Every. Fucking. Time. I'm not sure they've fixed it as of late since I've not played since before the last couple of DLC. Might have to fire it up again and try to not play commie foxes in space (I will)

It’s literally unplayable now on console it’s so slow. Like they are basically just scamming people by still selling it

how they manage to get a game that could've been implemented in fucking excell to run slow is beyond me.

it's because it has a lot of shit to track that it's constantly tracking that is constantly updating and sometimes they're like "hey what if we put in more shit to track"

Tbh I've made spreadsheet files that crashed my laptop

Probably should have been in a database at that point but can't be fucked to learn SQL or whatever

I just tried to boot up CK3 on my steamdeck and the whole game crashed, this is optimized? Are you saying that if I can get it to load it'll run decently?

Guess I should have had the modifier "at launch" since I haven't played CK3 in quite a bit.

CK3's launch was notable for being one of the few PDX launches that wasn't barely-functioning hot garbage, so that might inflate perceptions...

The work-arounds I had to do for Vicky 3 on deck were astounding and I still refuse to play it in the state it's in. -bad at technology
