I don't recall ever installing in mods to Stellaris. But I'm not sure how to check in-game on that.... before the game launches I can go to SETTINGS in Steam and see that there are no Workshop items installed... if there's something else I should check let me know.
In our launcher, go into the Mods tab and the Playset tab.

One thing that occurs to me as potentially relevant: possibly a new feature or something I'd managed to overlook all these years, I just discovered after upgrading to 3.6 that I can create custom races and force the game to use them as my AI opponents. So I created a bunch of Star Trek-themed races (The Borg, Klingons, Romulans, etc) and have been playing against those empires, and it's in all of those games (which are also all the 3.6 games I've played) that the saves become corrupt.
I've noticed some minor glitches with these AI empires in terms of the names when they split into two different opponents. I.e. the Romulans in one campaign created a spinoff nation whose name was something like "The Empire of". Like the actual name was a null value, so it was just The Empire of.
That does sound like a clear bug! Please report it as such in that forum.

More importantly I'm pretty sure if I re-started from an old save that it would start corrupting saves again around the same point and I could never get beyond 2242 or so in terms of saved games. That said I'd be happy to replay from that point as a technical test if it helped solve the problem, if somebody was going to examine the save files or whatever.
It would be diagnostically useful, yes. If it does recur at the same point, again a new thread in Bug Reports is the next step to getting it fixed.
