Ok, after searching the forum for some time and could not find something to it, because to the huge amounts of comments, i just ask here.

It started with some of the new patches after 2.2: the overlay was changed. For example marriage: Before you just press on the rings, then you choose your mate and marry. Everything with left-click. Good, clean and simple.
Now: on your ruler you press on the rings with leftclick, then you choose your mate and press RIGHT-click to marry. If you press left-click, just the portrait shows up. At the beginning i was nearly despairing at this.... change.
At your court it is an complete other topic, because the rings are gone. Before you were just marrying them off like your ruler, choosing the best one and it is good. Now? You can only marry them off easily in your OWN court. If you want to marry them to somebody outside, you have to follow some longer, more complicate steps.

For me the game was mostly about marrying. Building a strong family. With good abilities. The court was my currency. Invading other countries was not my goal. And now? This is gone.
Because of this i can only play with version 2.2. At least it was possible to patch back.

But why was it made so complicate? Why? I hate it, when programs, i use very often, bring out some major patch and then change everything. I hate it. When you have to search a long time for simple things you were used to find very fast before and they just change it. Why? Because they can... This is not user-friendly, this is just f***ed up.
When Microsoft was bringing out windows 8 with the vanished start-button, the whole world was hating them for it. Windows 8 was criticised a lot for it, nobody wanted it. A big change. And now paradox is trying the same thing?
Why? Am i am the only one, who has problems with this?

They added that diplomatic range stuff, which severely limited who you could marry.

I think the ----- Won't marry an infidel thing should be gotten rid of. I you have 50 opinion with a ruler, just because he is off a different religion you should still be able to get marriages, especially with Muslim countries. One of the ways many nations were converted to Christianity was because pagan kings married Christian wives who converted them.

No, i still have a wide varity of possible marriage partners. But its more complicate now:

Patch 2.2:
Press ruler - conduct diplomacy - arrange marriage - press on empty field - court shows up with unmarried people. Now you have two possiblities:
Take available person from court by LK (Left click) from List.

If you don´t want of have available persons for the court, press RK on person.
Portrait shows up - press on RING (which is gone in the new patch) - List of available persons shows up - marriage.

Patch 2.4.4
press ruler - RK - arrange marriage - see empty field - court shows up with unmarried people - Now you have only ONE possibility
Take available person from court by LK (Left click) from List.

If you don´t want of have available persons for the court, you can´t press RK on this person. Nothing happens anymore. You are thrown out of options. You have to do it by:
Find characters - set command to "unmarried" - take partner - RK - arrange marriage view shows up - marriage possible partner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You still have a lot of available partners to marry, but instead of solving this in ONE field, like in patch 2.2, you have to use two fields.
I never understood why the developers choose this kind of solution. Its unnessasary.
