oh, ok thank you

There has to be a way to optimize this. The downtime really adds up in a game where we move between cells so frequently. You fixed the loading screen itself, now fix the load times. Other large mods don't seem to have this same issue.

the issue is the Europe map, it's an issue that turns up in all Europe mods; the map is so unreasonably large and poorly optimised that it causes massive lag spikes when loading.

Similar issue here, Europe 1100 with no other mods installed, new game, fresh save takes about 1 minute to load, and if i add Erik's troops it takes 3 minutes to load. Vanilla takes 8 -10 secs to load on a new game, fresh save.

I mean i want to play without savescumming and only save in case of crashes but still 3 minutes on a fresh save to load is too much i think.

Yep, was planning on playing this mod but after experiencimg the aatrocious load times I'm dropping it asap. I've got it installed on an M2 drive SSD and everything. Unplayable
