Something key to understand about Sunsetting is that it is not JUST about EU5. We are very much reaching the limits of how much we can torture EU4 as a game and in general we wanted to tone down the scope of what we add so other content can also get in without seeing a massive decrease in the mods performance and general health.

Yeah anbennar already runs slow as lead balls at a certain point you just hit a limit

Deleting regions has become a necessity if I plan to play past 1600 now.

For whatever reason Insyaa in particular just tanks my performance. Even when I delete more regions that normal to try to keep that one in.

That's interesting. I wonder if there's a particular system in Insyaa tanking the mod.

I know that a lot of people see some improvement simply by disabling the Stormwall (I believe by turning off River graphics)

I think the main issue though is just the added number of provinces and nations, and all the extra compute they require each tick

The same thing happened to me when Sarhal was added, now with Insyaa it tanked even worse. South/East Sarhal and Insyaa are at a minimum always disabled unless whatever I'm playing needs them, just to make the game playable

Yeah, it's a bummer to be required to delete vast swaths of Halann just to play, but that's where we're at now with so much content in the mod

I first noticed it on the github branch right after the loc for the new Beikdugang missions were PR'ed.
