Well Late game stellaris starts to Run potato, even on top end machines, and it gets worse the large the galaxy/mods used, I personally have a beast computer and after a certain amount of time the game speed become trash. I am not sure if the game is just poorly optimized or if the Clausewitz engine cant just cant handle late game stellaris

Yeah I always play on the 1000 star galaxy, plus I use a lotta mods. But it still never got this bad...I can deal with 2 seconds a day, tbh, but not 7.

I have been running games with 1500-1750 Stars and about 20ish mods and it slows down alot around 2300.
4
Damn that's crazy! I wish I could play with like 3000 stars but that'd destroy me!

Thats probably when loads of calculations for AE's, Crises, mid-game events and massive fleet expansions for AI Empires begin to occur. Most fundamental technologies are researched by then, so all that's left is to build lots and lots of stuff...

Well NCS does make fleet sized Massive, i may remove NCS see if that will resolve some of the issues.

I have a game where I went up to the 2600s before moving on. Around the 2500s I figured out that 3x speed was so slow that 2x speed was actually faster for some reason. 3x had a day/3 seconds, 2x had a day/2 second.

Hmmmm, that's good to know! Hopefully I stay that committed to get that far..

Pause the game, type into console: ticksperturn 10, and then unpause.
It will make the game time run about 3 times faster, but you will have an fps of around 1. I do it when nothing much is happening in the galaxy. If you need to give a fleet a command or build on a planet etc you will need to pause the game.
If a war starts type ticksperturn 1 into console and game goes back to normal.

This is a lifesaver! Thank you!
now I wonder what would happen if I do ticksperturn 20?
2
You can do higher numbers but I am not too sure how much of a speed increase you get. You can do 300 and only see monthly snapshots of the game if you would like but I felt like that was a bit much.
2
I did 20 and it's about a second every two days, but the fps was much much slower...it's uhhh good when there's nothing going on.
1
I play with a smaller galaxy... and the mod that limits fleet cap.
Why people play with thousands of ships that creates a slideshow at 10 fps is beyond me !!!!
I'd rather have fleets with 20-40 ships max and run a constant 50-60 fps.
My opinion though.

Where can I find this mod? I've been dying to play a game with the sort of balance that Star Trek: New Horizons has, where every ship is important

Everything was fine yesterday, so I'm really confused about this lag.
it's like over 7 (of 9) seconds per day, and whenever I move the camera it's pretty much a powerpoint slideshow...
EDIT: ok just ignore this post because it fixed itself somehow.

I had a similar issue and it turned out my cpu was throttling after the heatsink partially came loose. 30 years of PC use/repair and I'd never seen that before.
2
What's your spec on your CPU? I have an i5 3.2mhz and I'm running a 3k galaxy stars, 15 AI nations and 3 FE nations. Right now with all the splits, protectorates, and liberations in my game the nation count is more like 20 nations but I'm in around year 2330 and Im not seeing too much slow down.....yet.....

Did I just land into the German galaxy?
2
The Prussians were actually a random empire; I made the Bavarian and Habsburg ones (the Habsburg is from the Xenonion canon)
1
Have you put all your settings at min?
- Refresh Rate/Resolution: Destop
- Multi sample: 2
2
Yeah everything is at low, and thankfully the lag is somewhat better now. (2 seconds a day!!!!)
1
Paradox needs to allow stellaris to use more than 1 cpu core thats what i have found is the problem with the unbearable endgame lag.

Remove space kebab.

plays remove kebab in background

Why does the Serbian kingdom have the Albanian flag? lmao.
1
snaps fingers Yes!
Basically I couldn't make an accurate Serbian flag, so I just did red and blue with the two headed eagle.

Odd my computer is a potato and I still get a day every 2 or 3 seconds at year 2390 at highest speed.
But Im used to games running like shit on my system.
Day every 2-3 seconds is absurdly slow tho...
Never said it wasn't but 7-9 seconds you must be playing it on a computer from 2005
Lucky :C Hopefully I can fix this lag, cause I really love this game right now.
Apparently the lag will be getting reduced massively in 2.0 due to everything being done via Hyperlanes which cuts down on the amount of pathfinding calculations the AI has to do for the ever increasing amount of ships.
Unfortunately it still lags almost just as much in a hyperlane only game (with mods to make jump drives just hyperlane drives too), so it is unlikely that it will help that much. Alot of the lag seems to be UI related.
This is true, however one of the devs(wiz?) stated that the game made the calculations even in a hyperlane only game anyway so an improvement may still be seen.
Having the warp code still in the game apparently slows down the game period. Doing a hyperlane only galaxy doesnt prevent this.
What's you galaxy size?
