Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the game. I play EU4 vanilla with no dlc's at this point. I'm wondering what all I can change in the games settings menu to make the game run smoother. It seems whenever I get a lot happening on screen at once, or, once I get to the mid-late game, it starts to lag big time. Sometimes locking up and even crashing. Any help would be great.
Also, what is the "best" or recommended setting for FPS?

In-game options arent really helpful because most of the lag come from the number of tags and army size/movement.

Getting the mod "fast universalis" seems to be the only really impactful option for now.

To help I would still first turn off the monthly province income pop up, shades, weather and if you arent playing ironman autosave.
