Description
Stellaris [2.8.1][38d7] Paradox Launcher takes very long time to load
Game Version
2.8.1
What version do you use?
Steam
What expansions do you have installed?
Synthetic Dawn, Utopia, Leviathans Story Pack, Apocalypse, Megacorp, Distant Stars, Ancient Relics, Lithoids, Federations
Do you have mods enabled?
No
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Since installing the Necroids DLC/2.8.1 branch, the launcher takes an extremely long time to load. For roughly 2-4 minutes, the launcher window opens, and it just has the spinning circle with the paradox logo in the center.
When it does eventually load, I am able to run the game, but it takes this long each time I attempt to load the launcher.
I have tried uninstalling the launcher and deleting the launcher folders, but the problem recurs even after a reinstall.
(EDIT - Removed the bit in the title about a perpetual 'downloading' message, that was caused by a defunct mod it was trying to get from the Steam workshop but could no longer find. However, I have verified that the long load time persists even after removing that mod.
Added v 2.8.0 based on comment from Draconas below.)
Steps to reproduce the issue.
Click 'Play' on Stellaris in the Steam library.
