Hello!

If you're having trouble finding content included in the Galaxy Edition upgrade, never fear! Most of this content is automatically loaded into your Stellaris folder as soon as you complete your purchase, but some of the content can admittedly be a little hard to find.

By default, Stellaris is installed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stellaris\

If you’ve installed into a different location, you can find the location in Steam by right-clicking Stellaris, going to Properties, and clicking Installed Files, then click Browse. This will automatically open up your Stellaris installation folder.

Stellaris Novel/Digital Collector’s Book - both of these books can be found in Stellaris\ebook\ as PDF files. The Stellaris Novel also comes in .epub and .mobi, so you can read them on eReaders.

Stellaris Signed Wallpapers - can be found in Stellaris/wallpaper, and come in various sizes so they can better fit your desktop resolution.

Stellaris Original Soundtrack - can be found in Stellaris/soundtrack, these come in .mp3 and .flac files. The Stellaris soundtrack can also be played directly through Steam by opening Steam, clicking View, and then Selecting “Soundtracks”.

Galaxy Forum Icon/Unique Forum Avatar - In order to activate these on your Paradox Plaza account, you will need to link your Steam account to your Paradox Plaza Forum account. You can do this by going to https://accounts.paradoxplaza.com/, logging in, and then clicking Settings. Scroll down to “Account Linking” and then clicking “Link Account” next to Steam. If you run into issues, there's a forum post here[forum.paradoxplaza.com] that contains troubleshooting tips and instructions.

Exclusive Portrait - The exclusive portrait included in the Galaxy Edition Upgrade should automatically appear in the game after you complete your purchase. During empire creation, you choose the Athropoid phenotype, and the portrait will be in that section. If the portrait does not appear here, its likely the game does not recognize that you have purchased the DLC. You can fix this by verifying your game files: in Steam, right click Stellaris, go to Properties, Installed Files, and Verify Installed files. Once this operation completes, restart the Launcher and click the DLC tab, and ensure that all DLCs are turned on. Then reload the game and you should find the exclusive portrait. If the portrait still does not appear, you can go to http://support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket. Customer Support will be able to help you further troubleshoot this issue!

Thanks for purchasing the Stellaris Galaxy Edition upgrade, and we hope this helps!
