Okay, guys, we need to talk. We need to talk about the Total War Launcher, specifically about how absolutely garbage it is.
First of all, this might just be me, but every single time the launcher starts up, it freezes my entire computer for 30 seconds to two whole minutes. No other games do this, but every game with the Total War launcher does.
I could deal with that, if it weren't for the mod "Manager."
What even is this thing? It's slow, it's clunky, it shows me only three mods at a time and lists them from left-to-right? Instead of top-down? Deactivating and reactivating mods is a hassle because the only way to do it is all at once, or one at a time via tiny checkmarks in the corner of each mod box. And I have to deactivate and reactivate mods all. The. Time. The inability to adjust load order is the final and largest nail in the coffin, more of a stake, really, right into the cold, undead heart of modding. Anytime anything updates, or I change anything, or add anything, apparently my mod load order changes and it breaks everything. I thought that mod order was determined alphabetically, but it appears to have something to do with the order that you activate mods.
For instance, Im using Radious as my base overhaul mod. If I disable every mod, then enable Radious, then slowly, one by one, activate every other mod in the queue, everything works fine. If i then disable Radious, and re-enable it, everything breaks.
Why?? It must be changing load order, because nothing else makes sense, but why on Earth is it changing load order just because I activate it?
Please. PLEASE. Please. Please give us a new mod manager. I can't take this anymore, Im going to rip all of my hair out, and Im a zebra, so I have a lot of hair. You guys have Mitch working for you now, so you have no excuse.
P.S. Also increase men-per-unit limit please and thank you.
