So, I never thought this was actually an issue for me personally, since I thought everyone had it, but it's come to my attention that the load screen is actually not that long for other people. Anyone know a fix to this problem? I got a few mods installed, but I believe I have had it before I installed any, in like April 2012.

You could test that by not loading any mods or DLC, as a trial. Does the game play OK after the loading's done?

please post a dxdiag.txt (you can delete everything after the "Sound devices" section for brevity), settings.txt, system.log files (you'll need to rename the .log files to .txt to upload).

OK, that looks basically fine except you might be a little light on memory. I'll be able to tell better when you post dxdiag.txt

Right, so like I said, where do I get that? :p

Assuming you have Win7, search for dxdiag.exe, start the program (it needs a few seconds to fully load), at the bottom is an option along "save information".
Push that and save the dxdiag.

Whats the checksum for the game ? Unmodded it should be ICBN for patch 1.092. Give any information that might be useful. Thanks.

Yeah it's ICBN, I got a clean copy.

Let's see what AndrewT has to say on this.
All i recongised were 1.8 GHz for an AMD is quite low, actually below requirements and your sound driver is of 2010.
Hmmm....and your pagefile is bigger than whats 'available'. Probably that.

Below requirements for CK2? That's quite crazy, since I've been able to play nearly all current-gens with no problem on fairly high qualities.

Well the requirements officially mentioned with Paradox games are usually above what's needed. As said, let's see what AndrewT has to say on this.
I'm just speculating.

Here's a newer video driver for you
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista32.aspx

Published hardware specs for the game are:

Intel® Pentium® IV 2.4 GHz or AMD 3500+
NVIDIA® GeForce 8800 or ATI Radeon® X1900 video card
so I think you're OK there.

But if the driver doesn't help I think it does come down to memory. You have 4gb, but 32bit Windows can only use 3.25gb of that, and windows itself takes up 1gb or so. And yes, your page file is heavily used
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 3328MB RAM
Page File: 4337MB used, 2797MB available
Meaning that Windows has to swap stuff out to disk all the time. With the 1.092 patch CK2 can now access more than 2gb of memory all by itself. So all you can do for the time being is make sure you have no other apps running when you load the game - Task manager/applictions ought to be empty.

Moving to Win7 64bit would allow you access to the 700mb of ram you have but can't now use, and allow you to expand further - to say 8gb.
