[2021] Recurring crash after ~50 years

Please do a full **clean** re-install:


- 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.


If that doesn't help: DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). 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 your Documents/Paradox/Stellaris/settings.txt.

From your Documents/Paradox/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach system.log .  

May as well update that video driver

But you are getting a log of abnormal errors in that log. That shouldn't happen after a clean install. You definitely deleted everything under either the Steam Stellaris or Documents Stellaris locations, before installing again? No mods enabled?  

Yep, that would do it alright. Thanks for the update!
