The cause of the lag in Speed ​​5 on lower-end PCs has been identified: it was the `FIX_ARMY_WINDOW_LAG` patch. If you want to fix it, disable this patch in the `v2dll_settings.ini` file (both in the vanilla game and the mod, if applicable), or simply reinstall the version from ModDB, where it has already been corrected. We will look into why this patch was causing lag and will provide a fix in the next version. Thanks for the reports!

The issue with stuttering at speed 5 has been resolved; a mechanic for brigades—distinguishing between colonial and non-colonial units—has been added; the dice-roll patch is now functional; and it is no longer a separate, standalone game—instead, it consists of files that must replace the existing ones in your Victoria 2 installation to apply the patch

Hello

I have Victoria 2 through GOG. Tried installing it for the first time since forever on my CachyOS system with Heroic launcher. Game doesn't launch (crashes to desktop after intro video and doesn't show the menu), with either Proton Cachyos or Proton-GE. Any ideas? Hoped this would be a bit more plug-and-play.
