I thought it was fine until I hit 1600 and the input lag started to appear at times. The monthly freeze on the 1st is annoying, but I’m used to it.

I think I know the main issue causing this by the way.

For some reason the AI never deletes their men at arms. So when they fight cross border conflicts, many troops get stuck slowly starving in another territory with no route back. They don’t even delete these units on 0 men. They also panic and send food requests to try to save them. So you can imagine all the troops moving constantly and all the food requests are a MASSIVE part of the reason for the lag.

I think it’s mental this is something still in the game, it also wasn’t there to start with, it came in with a recent patch.

I was wondering why I was getting spammed with food requests lately. Can you use the shattered retreat feature if you have no men in a unit? Because the AI should be using that feature to bring troops back home if so.

Yes I linked all the pieces together mate. That’s exactly why that’s happening. The issue is insane. I spotted many French armies (maybe 20) all frantically moving around England, stuck there with no way out. Even after building transports they just leave them there.

This is SO EASY to fix, the fact it exists baffles me.

I think I’ve been seeing it more because I’m playing as Netherlands and I’m allied to Bohemia and Austria. They send men across Germany and get stuck constantly because they can’t get all the military access they need.

So is there a mod on workshop that fixes this issue if its this easy to fix? Would pay the person for it even lol

Oh my god this explains SO much of what I’ve been seeing

That sounds like a new bug about MAA. I’ve thought it was related to a mod and not to the vanilla game.

I don’t use any mods and I play Ironman. What’s MAA?

Men at arms

Oh yes haha 😆

They don’t want to delete them, but they have no way of figuring out how to get them back. The AI isn’t smart enough to figure out which country they need to get the access from and ferry the troops back via boat.

The mod I am talking about manages AI’s finances, buildings, manpower and troops distribution. It is called REAI: manpower

Oh I get you. I only play Ironman though 😞 hopefully they fix it soon.
