Did just log in via steam without Pdx acc and loaded a late game save. Shooth as a babys bottom. Did stop playing because the game was going so slow and stuttery(?). Now I can enjoy the late game again thanks to the awesome community and some paticular smart people who did not rest until they find the issue. You rock <3
I haven't tried it yet, but if so many people are confirming it helps, you may have solved the biggest issue for many players.
You can still get achievements logged out of the Paradox account right?

I can confirm that logging out of PDX from the game launcher has decreased end game lag.
I even loaded up a game i had that takes place in the year 2550, 1000 star map and its quiet significant.
There is still stuttering but i bet its nearly cut in half from when i previously played while logged in

This did not work for me. I tried everything in this thread. I still have lag when I start exploring day 1. It stutters like crazy and it's giving me headaches playing through it/trying to find a fix. Does anyone have any other tips..?
No difference between Paradox Log-In or Steam itself.
Even without internet connection, 1,000 Star map wtih 15 AI experience radical slowdown after 50-75 years of play.
Perhaps a conflict with monitoring software? I did experience absurd lags in EUIV due to separate anti-cheat software.

What the...? Ok, I will try this when I'm back home. I will answer latter my experience of the two options (log out from paradox and enter the game from folder.)
Confirmed! It's magic to me but deactivating the Paradox sign in reduces lag considerably.
Thanks so much!
Can also confirm logging out decreases the late game lag and shuttering, and makes the late game somewhat playable.
Big find if true, will test later, but keep in mind that when a computer first looks up a resource, it pulls it from storage and puts it into memory. That means the first time you consecutively load anything will be the slowest, since subsequent times it will already be in mem.
Can't confirm.
The game was exactly as slow in the year 2400, regardless of me being logged in into Steam and the launcher, just steam, just the launcher, or neither.

This, unfortunately.
Though I did make one observation recently:
I started up a game on the biggest possible map and played for several hours on max speed, no slowdown, but when I saved and quit, then loaded the next day, the game only ran at half speed from that point on.
Unable to confirm that it runs better or not ingame, but when trying to start up the game proper from the disk, it takes an eternity. However, I do have a lot of mods, so that might be it. Launcher works fine tho.
Edit: Deduced it is most likely due to a lot of uncompressed mod folders being loaded, some significantly large.
