Less Steam
Updated for Concerts.
The Concerts game update finally fixed the issue that made game startup very slow if you have many assets. Before the update, this mod contained the same fix. So the mod is now less essential.
The Steam optimizations are still relevant, as described below.
Enable the mod as usual. The mod runs during the Paradox logo, so it will take effect the next time you start the game.
Content Manager generates lots of it. If you have 1000 workshop subscriptions, the game does 2000 Steam requests when the main menu loads. This mod ensures that those requests aren’t done before you are actually looking at a workshop item in Content Manager.
The traffic is not used for gameplay. It is just additional information for display in Content Manager, for example asset author name.
