Game stuttering in Windows 11

[Trugdish]

I've just upgraded to Windows 11 last night, however CK2 now stutters constantly, audio plays normally. I've tried messing with Vsync and frame rate settings but nothing has solved it.
Any ideas to remedy? Thanks

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.


IF that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK2/settings.txt
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK2/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .

Thanks, reinstalling has not fixed anything

I don't see any solid reason for this in those files I'm afraid.

Try making these changes in that settings.txt:

refreshRate=60

vsync=no

Does that make any difference?
