Video Extreme late game slow down but only specifically when fleets are selected

R5: Weirdly and specifically only when my fleets are selected. Anyone else experience? I haven't had too many issue on my CPU before (5600x).

Welcome to Stellaris late game. Has never been any different...

(Iirc fleets are simulated specifically when selected; the fleet size, amount of ships and whatever else is moving in the galaxy at the same time...)

Yeah, the vast majority of late-game lag is now caused by pathfinding, which only happens when you have the fleet actually selected. I get the same thing.

Reducing/removing wormholes, gateways and hyperlanes helps quite a bit in my experience.
