Some of those errors look like a bad installation or mod - no mods in use here, is that right?

Let's try a clean reinstall:
- 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.
- start the game with no mods active and test

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.

File Locations on Linux
The binary and DLC folder by default are in ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Stellaris/

The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in .local/share/Paradox\ Interactive/Stellaris/ .


If that doesn't help, what temperatures are you seeing for CPU and GPU in the main game menu? After say 10 minutes' play?
