Hello there
Straight to the point: I have a long list of ~150 mods, but it's well curated and the load order is rather carefully planned, together with custom compatches added at the end. I'm sitting here on NVMe SSD and despite that, my loading screens are just extraordinarily long. Like 30-40 minutes long.
I had a similar issue with CK2: unpacked mods = ~30 min loading time; repacking them back = 1-2 min. Now tho it's a different matter, as Steam CK3 mods are downloaded as loose files in folders.
I'm willing to accept that fault is on my end, but if so, please, help me find it.
I've also noticed that most of the loading time, I/O rate of CK3.exe process is as low as maybe ~50kB/s and CPU sits at only one core, ie. steady ~25%.
Screenshot 2020-09-29 012420.jpg
Temperatures at the left bottom are of: blue - CPU, green - hard drive, red - GPU
I've obviously tried all the simple stuff like OneDrive, AV, etc.
also I tried zipping the mods and making a local copy of them but the game then crashes on certain ones. and it didn't crash on them when unzipped.

Regards

Well, that's a lot of mods ... I'm not sure what we in tech support could do about this!

I really think this would need to attention of the developers, although not sure what level of priority it would get ... worth a thread in bug reports I think!
