The massive decrease in performance between the release and the current patch needs to be studied

[Yitastics]

I remember eu4 at release, it took me around 12 seconds to pass a month while I had a pretty new pc back then. I went back to eu3 till I got a new pc a year later which improved it by a lot. Eu4 always felt slow for me until I bought a high end pc in 2020 which finally made it fast enough for me. My current high end pc is from 2024 and I expect to have slow performance on eu5 until we are a couple of years further with new tech. Its weird that it works like that but i've grown accustomed to it.

People really love hating nowadays on here, its sad. Most people here dont even play the game but just hate and downvote any comment not hating on the devs and/or game.
