I saw some yelling in the chat about NVIDIA drivers that the latest ones have really slowed down both EU4 and CK2. Could that be it?
Dunno, I have an NVIDIA and updated drivers yesterday but don't see any slowdown so far

I just bought the full game yesterday so I'll post my experience here in a few daysI only played the demo…
Asus drivers so it cant be.I saw some yelling in the chat about NVIDIA drivers that the latest ones have really slowed down both EU4 and CK2. Could that be it?

I think they skip sampling in order to optimize the computation load. When you are used to click at a high rate, the lag in the interface shows.
ATI then.
At least that's more like history. Actually france and to a little extent ottomans seemed to get nerfed in divine wind and that at least made me happy. There's really no reason to put france down as an amazing power when brittany was almost as strong until just recently.
Not to mention it's been on the losing side of about 9/10 greatest military disasters in history.
France was (together with China) arguably the strongest power of the world during most of the EU period.
Britain (I assume you dont mean Brittany) only became a world power in the last 100 years of the game, and the supremacy of the British Empire occurred later, during the 1800s.
I think he means Brittany. I'm not sure I agree with you around "most of the EU period". France didn't really become a true power until Louis XIV. Austria could field an army roughly twice the size of the french. Also being nestled between the 2 biggest naval powers in the world really made it hard for it to expand.
it was pretty much on and off one of the 3 most powerful entities in Europe from like the 9th century until I'd say the 19th century.

I would agree, though if you see the national ideas, France does get a very powerful idea that gives them a big advantage early in the game, and most people play for a hundred years or so and then try another game. So they get to experience them at their height without seeing the other countries 'catch up' eventually.History has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
A number of players play those kind of games not for the game mechanics, but because those games offer a way to make things right, to make things like they should have happened.
The issue of France is simply because the US market is the dominant market and that most players there relate to England or Germany.
After playing both England and France, it appears that England is easier than France. With England, it is very easy to end the game as the first power and you can even run for world conquest.
France comes with a lot of made up problems that makes the experience slightly more difficult. One funny is that at the start of the game, Brittany was de facto a vassal of France, a puppet kingdom. Yet as gaining Brittany gives naval bonuses, the integration of Brittany is made difficult.
Usually the AI never captured or only conquer Brittany around 1800. Historically, Brittany was officially integrated in 1492.
So why so much concern about France? After investigation, a lot of players do not care about playing with England to become the world dominant force. They want to crush France or even conquer it all.
Hence the OP impression.
Same as for muslims in Crusarder Kings 2. Given the current context, muslims in that game were deemed OP.
The end result is that the generic game usually end with Muslims close to lose or losing the Mecca.
Hard to support that ending based on history.
That is an ending wanted by customers though. You wont find many threads on Paradox forums with titles like "Oh my god, European countries OP, muslims too weak, do something"
Errr, wha?? Where did that come from?The issue of France is simply because the US market is the dominant market and that most players there relate to England or Germany.
Does the UI scale better now in EU IV? EU3 on a notebook in my native resolution (1920x1200) wasn't working, because symbols and fonts were WAAAAY too small. And BTW, CK2 has the same UI, is that correct?
