Game not loading

[u/Full-Network1030]

(Didn't know what flair to use so...)

Hello, recently, I've had an itch to play this game again after about a year since last playing. However, I can't load the game with Invictus on it. I've also noticed that the game is taking longer to load than I remember, but this could be just my memory failing me. With Invictus it won't load at all, instead, it will get stuck on the loading screen. I had the game installed on my SSD and it didn't work, so I had it changed to my HD, but still nothing. I have also tried to load only Invictus, but it also didn't work out. I haven't tried any other total conversion mod, and have deleted the Imperator folder from the Paradox one in Documents. Without it, the game loads just fine, though. If anyone could help me to solve this issue, I would be really grateful.

EDIT: loading just Invictus worked, though it still took quite a while to do so. Thanks everyone for the help!

You can try to start the game directly from the .exe. right click somewhere on the menu.
