Lag

[Zoft]

Same problem. Right of the start of a game. Even saving loading will not help. Graphics decreasing won`t help at all.

Using windows 10 64b (128gb ram 4000mhz) i7 cpu. 2xamd r9 290x 8gb And 5.1 Roccat kave XTD.

Eating my cpu up alive for some reasons.

Have you applied the beta patch?

where do I find this beta patch?

Earlier in this thread.

The beta patch is now live.

1. Right-click on Stellaris and choose "Properties"
2. Click on "Betas" tab
   
3. Select beta_1.0.1 (if you can't see it, restart Steam)
4. Download update
5. Version should be 1.0.1

Please confirm in this thread if this fixes the issues you have been having. If you get new issues, please report them separately (specify that you are running with the beta patch).

1.0.2 will be released soon (I hope today) with some additional tweaks to performance I believe. I hope it'll help those who didn't get it resolved by 1.0.1

Interesting, you guys that have experienced a lot of disc activity can you check if you are getting tons of data written to your userdir when you are experiencing the lag? im guessing error.log or some other .log file

Edit: forgot to change to dev post

I run stellaris on a 3 ssd in raid 0 but the game installed the settings in the paradox folder in my documents (E:\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris) which is my data drive a regular old 4tb hdd. Maby there is some connection?

also: pagefile.sys is 36gb on a separate 40gb ssd

Well logging etc will write to your userdir so if the game is writing a lot there it could affect performance a bit just by flushing to disk, but if it spams data there it could be a big problem both in regards of IO and the fact that our implemented "logger" is old and should be replaced O
I am most curious if it does and in that case what the heck is being written there, could you check that for me? I have not personally been able to c anything on the systems i have tried so would appreciate to get some data from a system where it is reproduceable.

Okey guys, now you have to help me...
We have 4 kinds of stuttering reported here:
* CPU: a "game tick" is a tenth of a day, so go to galaxy map and try to find when your issue happens. All the time, when the "day" changes, the "month" or the year? If paused?
* GPU: your performance deviates alot from looking on a 350k fleet in system view to just looking in "empty space".
* Network: Not sure how much we can do here, if you can use wireshark or similar to track the traffic from/to your computer and give us the data if you think it is abnormal in size.
* Disk IO: Abnormal amount of data written to disk is bad, sure we will read but even there it is not gonna be alot.

Attach savegames, all logs and your system specs (for win that is dxdiag)...
If you rather not post it here in public, do so by the pdx helpdesk and it will find itself to us devs in the end O

I now have several reports of stuttering and low fps in the main game menu, let alone in the main game. It is solved by logging OUT of the Paradox account, and/or going to 1.7.4
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/launcher-login-lag.1039410/

That one is scary and under _hard_ investigation, hopefully we will have it solved before next update O

Edit: And from the "game team" perspective i am more interested in the performance issues "in the game" O
