Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I never experienced stutter like this before, even with huge realms. This file was started in 1.7.0 and was supposed to get me Lingua Franca. What's different about this stutter is that it happens even when the game is paused for example using WASD to change the camera position. It doesn't happen in my other saves and it still happens when I set graphic presets to low. Please try out the attached save.

I think my problem started when I finished the Holy War for Persia or Mesopotamia, but I'm not sure.
I'm using Ryzen 5600X + RX 5700 XT.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Starting the save and using WASD should be enough

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?


I have attached a save game
Yes

Hey! I have the exact same issue as you (can see my post on tech support) after hours and hours of testing and debugging I was able to narrow the issue down to something with the "Neighbors can be vassalized" option. I opened up your save, turned on yesmen, and just like mine the stutter went away. Think there's a bug with how the game checks vassalization or something. Hopefully gets fixed!

Edit: Attaching relevant files to this issue. Another save game with the same problem, and a version of 00_character_interactions that causes the stutter to go away. Same file as the one in the current patch with the section for powerful vassals removed (lines 427 to 595ish).

I appear to be seeing this as well, 1.7.1, never had any stuttering issues previously.

Exact same issue - runs game-breakingly slow, at least with a large empire (was also going for lingua franca). Was fine prior to v1.7.x (currently running on 1.71). I've also attached system specs - it should be running fine on this spec.

Hai everyone!
Thank you all for the information and save-files. While I haven't been able to encounter this by simply creating my own saves, I can clearly see the problem with all of your saves. This has now been added to the database.

Wish you all a lovely rest of the week!

Kind regards,
