Mods to improve performance of Crusader Kings II on low end systems. Includes two basic fixes to features that are otherwise difficult to disable; water and fog animations. Replaces the default fancy water effects shader with a flat shader so your graphics card does less work, good for low end systems. Setting draw_water=no looks pretty bad, so Added to OP. Had this issue too, it's one of the checkboxes in the graphics settings, can't remember the exact name but it's something like texture filtering/mapping. It’s advanced shaders. Weird. And it impacts performance. Why CK2 terrain looked way better. CK3 is just ugly in general. I don't know why nu-Paradox fans love CK3/I:R I'm trying to launch Crusader Kings 3 on Windows 10 using the Parallels app on my MacBook Pro 2013 (fulfills the minimal requirements by a margin).

Jan 9, 2007 I have an M1 MacBook Pro (8 GB) and it works, but is a bit slow, even at low settings. It's definitely playable though. Maybe you need 16GB of RAM for it to play well.
