1.4 Performance Issue Report Thread

[GAGA Extrem]

We have received reports about performance issues with 1.4, particularly on Mac.

Just as with 1.3, I'd like to use this specific thread to gather more information about the systems of people who are affected.

Doing so will help us to find denominators in terms of software and/or hardware specs that may be related to the issue, and it will reduce the amount of duplicate threads in the bug forums.

If you are experiencing severe performance issues, please leave a message in this thread with:
(1) a brief description of the issue (and if possible steps to repro it).
(2) an attached DX.Diag logfile (or About this Mac" info) of your system.
(3) All logfiles from the log folder from the affected session (found at: Users\USERNAME\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Imperator\logs).
(4) If the issue is specific to a specific game state or save, upload the related save game as well.

Please make sure to attach as much information to your post possible. The more info you can give us, the easier it will be for us to identify and fix the issue.

Note: This thread is for reporting on performance issues only. Please use the appropriate sub forum for bug reports!

Thank you!

Game crashes after about 3-4 years. Not due to any construction or specific actions that I can identify.

I am using 10.14.6 MacOS Mojave with Radeon Pro Vega 48 8gb. Game functions perfectly smoothly without the slightest lag until this sudden, instantaneous crash occurs. The report log is the same as most of the others I've seen posted here.

I've been a Paradox fan since the first edition of UE and spend lots on your products so was very disappointed when word was spreading that Paradox expressed no desire to address this.

I'm experiencing similar issiues. The game crashes already in the tutorial after a frew years. And when I tried a regular game, it crashed after roughly one decade. Reoccurring with every reload of the savegame.

I'm running it on a
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)
Processor 3,7 6-Core Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
Graphics Radeon Pro 580x 8 GB
with 10.15.4 macOS Catalina

I falsely posted this already in the bug report sub forum with a complete crash report. Not sure if you need that though. I attached the requested log and savegame files. I hope it's all there... Please let me know if you need any other data.

That would be indeed very disappointing, especially given the fact that it’s just IR that is having compatibility problems with Macs.

That doesn't sound like a performance issue and likely will get lost in this thread. Better file a report in the bug section.

A reminder that this thread is meant for performance issues only.

Bug reports (including crashes not directly related to performance ) should go in the bug report subforum.

I'm experiencing a late game lag well after the 'official end game date', and it strangely happens when I go to war with someone. It takes a few minutes for a day to pass, everything seems to be at a standstill, but I can still move around the map and zoom in and out, click on things etc.

I have noticed a lag when I open the main nation tab late game. When I close this tab or move to another one I have no issues. Also a restart seems to help this. Wonder if there is a leak.

I am experiencing too high temperatures while playing this game. Over 90 degrees celsius. 5-10 degrees more in general compared to other games i play. I am playing with optimized settings(NVIDIA GeForce) and even after lowering settings further i am still getting relatively higher degrees.

Noticed this as well, I can play for about half an hour to 45 minutes later on in the game before I need to use a quick retard if I want to brosw the nation tab.

Hello!
Please attach a save game where you experience said performance issue.
I'll forward it to our coders for investigation.

Hi, iMac 2019 with 10.14.6

I can't play the game for more than about 4 years. It just crashes, and reloading the save game just makes it crash again at roughly the same spot.

Hi! iMac Late 2015 with 10.11.6.
After about 6 years, the game crashes, and reloading makes it crash once more at the same time!

Hi,

After few discussion with other members ( @Rom2BE) and research, it appears that right after a crash like the ones we are talking about, when we compare the war.log and the game.log (in folder Paradox/Imperator/log), we realised that it's always related to rebellion's end, annexion of the last territory of a rebellion or something like that.
I personally tried three times : two times with two of my games (crashing just after a rebellion somewhere desseapper) and the third was with a saved game from another player, posted on the forum, crashing after a rebellion problem (according to the war.log and game.log).

I put attached the saved-game in question. Maybe the crash that happens, very soon in the game (always few years, around 450-458), is somehow liked to the "extension of a rebellion"...

If it can help.
good luck to I:R team fixing this bug

Ok, thanks.
Where can I post that then?

Wait, I thought it was for crashes relating to performance as well?
if not, then where should I post?
