I'm having a really bad time with the new launcher. Every time it takes about 10 minutes to load which is mich longer than the actual game on my computer. Did anyone ecperience the same issue? Any idea to fix it? Edit: additionaly I don't have any trouble with the launcher for stellaris (starts in a few seconds)

I'm playing at Matilde di Canossa and tried to obtain her true bloodline however I didn't get it after winning an excommunication war against the HRE.

I am currently the queen of Italy crowned by the previous pope, have all 7 virtues, am a zealous theologian and I never cheated on my husband so both daughters are legitimate. The pope likes me a lot with a 59 opinion of me (despite -25 for wanting a duchy).

This was already my 4th war to try to get the bloodline and I don't know what was wrong this time (first 2 ended inconclusively and by the 3rd I had more than 120 realm size and released Bavaria since).

Can anyone help me find out what's wrong? The only thing that comes to my mind is

My tributary (the French empire) joined a crusade against me which was both long and tiring. How can I make him truly regret that decision? He had half the crusading troops and I could really do without those 30k French.
