Installed the same mods as you, except I changed to the stand alone Training Room enabler
1. I got no problem, I can load in 45sec before battle starts
2. You can fix it if you install stand alone Training Room
3. doesn't work either.
4. Off how? I could not tell difference when I looked at the picture.
5. Crosshair works if you select static type 1
The installer will not redownload this file everytime, only when I update it or when you select to clean up dlc folder. So you don't have to do anything extra.
Maybe there is a way, but I don't know any other methods, the only one I found out is to remove whole chat window from the game, this is what does my mod.
