The problem is Paradox's launcher. The solution is to circumvent it.

This is one way to do that:

Go to the install folder and move/link Aftermath64.exe, Aftermath_Data, and MonoBleedingEdge to the launcher folder.
Go into the launcher folder and rename/delete Paradox Launcher.exe.
Rename Aftermath64.exe and Aftermath_Data to Paradox Launcher.exe and Paradox Launcher_Data, respectively.

Now on to the reason I'm here; I'm finding the performance is just plain awful. Even on the lowest settings, it's still putting my graphics card at 70°C. Does anybody have any ideas on how to improve it?
