Loading times

[Brexten]

Dear Tech Support,

I am currently playing as the Byzantine Empire for roughly 60 years but I have
noticed the game progressively getting slower, as I continue to play. The loading times
have reached an unbearable level. I have to wait roughly an hour and even more since
yesterday before I can start to play.

My system specs are:

AMD Phenom X6 1055 (OCed to 3.2 GhZ)
ATI HD 7850
16 GB RAM
1.5 TB Sata 2 HDD
Windows 7 x64 Home Premium

My question now is... Is there any way I can speed up the loading times? Is it a bug?


PS: I am useing game version 2.0 since today.

It's not a known bug, no. I'm not aware of anyone else reporting this.

A new game loads fast? Is it just this one save that's slow to load, or all saves? What size is the save game file? Do you have any mods active?

It happens with all savegames. I tried loading an older savegame which loaded just fine and continue with that one... Ended up haveing the same problem again. On top of that I noticed an extreme lag every ingame year dureing the switch from the second to
the third of July.

PS: This is nutshell! Since patch 2.0 I have instead of 114k army levies only 41k ? *sighs*

Again, how large are these saves? Does it happen to a fresh new game you start under 2.0?

In any case let's try a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local files" in Steam
- manually delete all files left under Steam/CK2 AND Documents/CK2
- re-install game in Steam, run a verify when done.

(GG: same as above except you have to manually patch too)

Did you not read the patch notes? This is a deliberate design change.
