Originally posted by whereisscott: Yeah, there's no option to "run as admin" when you right click on programs with a Mac. It's just not there in the dropdown menu. From what I understand, if you're the only user on a Mac, you're automatically the Admin and programs automatically run at that permission level (but let me know if I'm getting this wrong).

Running a File as Administrator on Mac:
Locate the file you want to run as an administrator.
Hold down the "Control" key on your keyboard and click on the file.
From the context menu, select "Open" while still holding down the "Control" key.
If prompted, enter your administrator credentials.

Originally posted by whereisscott: I'm the only user on my Mac, so I'm already the Admin (sorry, didn't make it clear I was on a Mac). Confirmed in the Permission for Steam that this is being run with full read/write permissions.

I'm not sure if it's the same for Mac as on a Windows machine, but even though I'm the admin/only user on my machine, I still need to do the "run as admin" thing for certain actions (some unrelated to gaming). Can you try it and let me know?

This is normal. We keep only one rollback branch in the 3.9.X series.

Originally posted by whereisscott: It was running fine for me until the hotfix that just was issued. Now it's saying the DLC is missing and I can't open my savegame file. I've verified the game, but the issue is persisting.

After verifying the files, can you please right-click Steam and run as administrator, and let me know if that resolves your issue?

We just deployed a fix for the ownership verification for Astral Planes. If you had those issues, we ask you to verify Stellaris Game files.

In order to do so, right click on Stellaris on your library, then Properties, Local Files and Verify Game Files.

Additionally, there are another couple of steps you can take:

-- Right click Steam, click "Run as Administrator", check the DLC ownership through the game.
-- (In Windows) Go to Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Paradox Launcher V2, then relaunch the game through Steam.

We want to thank all the affected players for their reports, in particular those who helped us troubleshooting the issue on Discord. If you continue having issues, please let us know!

Are you able to start a new game, and if so, is the Riftworld origin available to select?

Thanks for the assistance.

Edit: Looks like everything's working now, so, uh, never mind! Have fun!

Our team says that the launcher may be taking some time to update -- as long as your "additional content" page has updated and shows ownership of Astral Planes, you will have access to the new DLC.

Originally posted by Lucullo: I too have this problem. I verified the files and restarted Steam a couple of times but it is still there.
However, the "unable to verify ownership" flag appears only in the launcher (DLC tab) while the "addtional content" page says "owned".
I've not yet tried playing.

Our team says that the launcher may be a little wonky, but as long as the "additional content" page has updated, you will have access to the new DLC.

@avilob and @Xentor, can you confirm that you have updated to 3.10.0, and are not using an older branch of the game?

Hi everyone -- the fix for this seems to be to verify your installation, and then to restart Steam (in that order). Please let me know if that doesn't resolve your issues!

Originally posted by avilob: yup did everything, redownloaded the game, restarted steam, verified files

Are you still experiencing issues after verifying the files, and then restarting Steam (in that order)?

Please restart Steam after verifying your files! Let us know if that doesn't resolve your issue.

I'll pass this along to our teams. <3

We are collecting some data points for you!

Is this since this morning's update, or updating from 3.8 to 3.9?

Here's our go-to for launcher issues:

(In Windows) go to settings, add/remove programs, and uninstall ""Paradox Launcher v2"". Restart Steam, and then relaunch Stellaris.
If that doesn't work, open a Ticket with Customer Support here: https://support.paradoxplaza.com/ (Click open ticket in the top right corner)

In Settings -> Gameplay there's a setting to turn off pop-up messages.

Users with this issue, can you advise what (if any) mods (especially UI mods) you're using? We're trying to narrow this issue down. Thanks!

I don't think we've seen this issue reported on the forums -- would you be so kind as to submit a bug report so the devs can look into it?

Game updates can make the game and the launcher a little wonky, unfortunately. There are several things you can try to fix this issue, try each of these steps in order, and attempt to load the game after each one:
1. Disable all mods
2. Verify Local Files (Steam) - Right Click Stellaris, Right Click Properties, Go to Local Files and click ""Verify Integrity of Game Files""
3. In the launcher, go to Settings, and change your Video Settings to Borderless Fullscreen or Windowed mode
4. (In Windows) Go to Settings, Add/Remove Programs, and Uninstall Paradox Launcher v2. After relaunching the game, let the launcher download updates, and restart the game again.

If none of these things work, go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket. Customer Support will be able to help you sort things out!
