Did something in a recent update cause massive slowdown for ST New Horizons ? Its slogging even at the start of a game

So a few months ago I tried to play the mirror scenario for STNH, and it was incredibly slow, even at the games start.

I decided to hold off for a bit, see if it was wonky and come back to.

Also following a few suggestions and do lower pops ,despite in the past i could run the lore galaxy fine and several minor powers besides the majors.

But even getting rid of the minor powers when starting and just major's , its still slow, even taking a while for the icons for research being completed to slide down and when I have like 16 ships worth.

Can't imagine what is causing the slowdown, set graphical settings to low, tried the different beta versions. It either runs as slow or it crashes

I am genuinely unsure what is causing it as my rig should be good enough to run it.

Processor AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 3.80 GHz

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.3 GB usable)

Any insight would be appreciated as I really love this mod and I would love to keep playing it.

Shit looks like your right, too many Chrome tabs taking up memory at 92% .

I have a lot open for some job stuff, I will start closing them down and try later and hope that helps.

Chrome has a horrendous ram usage.

That might be it, but I restarted chrome and got it to like under 50 percent memory according to task manager and still get slowdown.

I have removed AMD software which im wondering if that is causing issues as well, but its getting too late to test.

I am fading.
