Quoting: CreakOn my Radeon free drivers, I have huge lags when help pop-ups show and hide (I suppose it is because Paradox uses an OpenGL extension that isn't implemented yet in the free drivers), I hope the patch fixes it.

Anyway, these pop-ups were the only lag problems I had on my HD 6870, everything else was surprisingly fast considering the constrains!
$XDG_DATA_HOME is not equal to $HOME.

$XDG_DATA_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific data files should be stored. If $XDG_DATA_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.local/share should be used.
Which is already default place for game (outside of Steam directory).
