eu4 takes forever to load; stuck on history files. [SOLVED]

[YagoMR]

Well, i was having some issues with the EUIV extremely slow loading time, after 500h of euiv i noticed that the game was taking FOREVER to load, it used to stuck in the history files. So after looking for a solution i found out that the problem was my ANTVIRUS program, i am now using the windows defender.

So what you need to do is to exclude the EUIV folders from verification of the ant virus program that youre using (also recommend doing this for all your games files), after doing this you will notice the game is loading pretty faster.

FOLDER 1:C:\Users\conta\Documents\Paradox Interactive <<--(THATS THE DOCUMENTS FOLDER)

FOLDER 2:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

If the problem still persists i recommend you to delete all the EUIV files and then make a clean reinstall of the game on steam, dont forget to move your important game saves to any other file before doing this.

Hope i have helped! Sorry for my bad english as well.
