[2023] Pls Help, gam crashes.

Running Stellaris.exe as admin causes its own problems, so don't do that any more.

This is literally any mod whatsoever? Even if it is just, say, extra music?


Have they all been updated by their authors to work with 3.8.x ?

Does this happen if you do a test install on another machine?  

I mean that, if you have access to any other computer than this one you are seeing the problem on, install the game on it via Steam and see if it gets the same issue.  

That is a shame, that would be a really useful diagnostic step - to tell if the issue is indeed confined to this computer, your account, or what.

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!
