[2020] Faulty Gamefile? No Curator Option for unknown Leviathans

It seems to me this is either a bug that everyone is having, a change in gameplay, or a corrupted install. As I don't hardly have time to play this game any more all I can help with is the last possibility, so Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere, and user_empire_designs.txt from /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ if you have made any custom empires or races.
- "uninstall" in Steam-Stellaris
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Stellaris AND Documents/Paradox/Stellaris folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add stellaris.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test with a new galaxy, NOT any existing one

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Stellaris or Documents Stellaris locations, before installing again.


If you still see the issue then it must be one of the other possibilities; check the Bug Reports forum for any others seeing the same issue. If still nothing probably best to post in the main forum and see if th egameplay experts there can clarify matters.

Good luck with that!  

We can't move threads to Bug Reports as there is a forum to be filled out when you make a new thread there, to make sure all needed details are included.

Thanks and sorry for that problem!
