[2023] Slow loading launcher, launcher mod bug ''can't access {databasePath}'' and text scaling

Choconaute_ said: First problem is that the launcher is very slow to load. It needs something like 1 minute of loading time.

Having a lot of mods can do that. How many mods are you subscribed to?


All those games use the same installation of the same launcher, so it is indeed a puzzle why only this game has a database problem. Please try the following:

- unsubscribe from all mods in BOTH the Steam Workshop and the Paradox mod site mods.paradoxplaza.com
- delete the folder Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod/
- delete the file Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mods_registry.json (if present)
- delete the file Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/launcher-v2.sqlite (if present)
- run the game up and check the launcher is okay with no mod or other errors
- subscribe to a few mods

- run the game up and see if those mods are now available to you.

I hope that does it for you!
