[2023] Problems with playing in any other mode than Full-screen.

Please delete everything in the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ folders except any valued save games, then start a new test galaxy under 3.8.2 - is that any better?  

I haven't seen other such reports, yet anyway.

DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .


THEN can you test this on any other computer you might have access to?  

If you revert to the 3.7.x patches in the Steam beta stab for the game do you still get this issue?

[10:11:09][dlc.cpp:337]: Invalid supported_version in file: mod/ugc_2079926133.mod line: 16

Please disable ALL mods while we work on this.

I see several crashes in LightingService.exe which seems to be an ASUS utility that controls screen lighting. Please unload that, or prevent it from running at boot time then reboot. Do you still get this problem?

If so, in the Game Settings menu in our launcher disable Vsync and cap the refresh rate at 60, and leave it at fullScreen. Does that help when you alt-tab out and in?
