First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of support I've been giving to this mod in the last few weeks. I've been very busy and I didn't have time to support the mod.
Yesterday I released a new version of the mod on Steam Workshop. This new version removes:
Please let me know if this new version is having impact on the gameplay (ex. now if you want to see if an enemy army is in forced march, you have to move the mouse over it and you have too look to the black icon to the bottom of the army)- the wind around units in forced march
- the confetti when edicts are activated
- the coins around armies/navies when they are raiding
- the clouds around navies when they are patrolling the sea
- the red light around armies suffering attrition (the skull icon was not removed).
Many people asked my to remove the floating hammers but I decided to maintain it for now because it very useful to the player. If you don’t have the hammer, you have to take select every province you own to see if you can upgrade the settlements.
I tested this new version with mod manager created by Mitch. I didn't have any problem with the latest version of the program. Those of you who couldn't run the mod with mod manager, please download the new version of the mod make sure that you have the latest version of mod manager.
I haven’t discovered yet how to remove it…
If you are having problems to run the mod, try to close Steam and then run Steam again. The pack file of this mod is not a “mod pack”. Instead, it is a “movie pack”. Sometimes the official mod manager don’t know how to deal with “movie packs” and issues may happen.
When you restart Steam the mod will work as long as the file “mod_arcade_graphical_effects_removal.pack” is in the main data folder.
