I accidentally declared war as I thought it was just some rebels just to get vassalized by the death god shroud...

Thank you!

Would you consider reporting this bug on the PDX forums, please?
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/stellaris-bug-reports.941/

I'll let the team know! Do you have any UI mods installed?

Originally posted by roadrunner0177: that make the mods I use outdated and thus crash the game. LET ME PLAY THE F&^%ING THING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE YOU UPDATE AGAIN!!! ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!

You can also roll back to 3.8.2. Right click Stellaris -> Properties -> betas tab and choose 3.8.2 from the dropdown. This should get you through until your mods are updated.

The Stellaris team would like your input! We're curious which DLC you'd recommend to a player setting out to explore the universe for the first time. Please take our short survey and tell us what you think!

No, it's a fluffy RTS. All full of fluff. Flavor flavor everywhere, hiding the actual meat.

Unless you're saying the fluff and flavor IS the meat. In which case, this ga...

Does this issue occur if you disable all mods?

I tried this, changing the value to 10. When I tried loading my last save game, Stellaris crashed. I tried starting a new game, and it crashed as well. When I validated the files, there was one file that failed validation, and I'm assuming it was the defines....

This mod is updated now afaik, so you can turn it back on. :)

Only that you can't counter that leader-softcap like most other soft-caps in the game.

For Empire-size you can reduce its effect by simply having more science/unity-planets. For the pop-growth you can have more "empty" planets that are only there to produce pops. Heck even the Fleetcapacity you can counter by producing more energy.

You can't counter the exp-gain-...

Turn off your UI mods, until they update.

Using borderless fullscreen or windowed game mode will resolve some of this (go to game settings in the launcher), as will disabling mods. The rest will likely be fixed by updating your video card drivers.

Concepts are only used on the galaxy setup screen for now. They will be gradually rolled out over the next few patches.

Are y'all running into this issue on a new save, in a game started after yesterday's release? Or are these games on old saves?

I would but my game won't start since the last update. So I'm playing Distant Worlds 2 again, as usual.

Disable your mods, and update your video card drivers. This resolves about 95% of crashing on launch issues.

Or.. you're being bombarded by a cloaked fleet, maybe? if.. that's even possible..
