Performance is the main thing keeping me away from the game at the moment, and I'm concerned that PDX is not saying much about it
My PC is by no means a beast but it's a fair, mid-tier PC. CK3 runs amazingly, and so does CP2077 on medium settings. EU5 however becomes unplayable after the 1450s. The ticks get so slow, and each monthly tick causes a 5 second pause. This causes the game to grind to a halt and you just end up restarting. I suspect more people are having the same issues, and if Paradox can't come up with a plan to address it people are going to drop it, as it's demotivating to play when three fourths of the game is inaccessible.
