Since its launch, Crusader Kings III (CK3) has struggled with optimization, requiring high-performance "god-tier" computers or even server-level setups to run smoothly. Unfortunately, the developers have rarely prioritized fixing the persistent bugs and glitches that consume system resources like a power-hungry Chrome browser, leading to frequent lags and crashes.
Despite the community's efforts, mods have done little to address these fundamental performance issues—problems that should have been resolved before release. Instead of focusing on these core fixes, the developers seem to prioritize releasing new content, leaving the game’s technical flaws largely untouched.
While CK3 remains a solid game with an ambitious premise that delivers well in some areas, its management and execution fall short, offering half-baked results. Long-time fans of the Crusader Kings franchise or the grand strategy genre will likely still buy it. However, I'd advise looking elsewhere for newcomers to the series or genre. Smaller development teams have created better-optimized, more playable alternatives that won’t frustrate you with unaddressed performance issues.
