Stellaris Dev Tracker

Your best bet is to delete the steamapps/stellaris/ folder, (not the one in /documents/) and then right click Stellaris > Local Files > Verify Game Files, and be sure you're not opted-into any Betas (in the Steam Library, it should say "Stellaris" with nothing in brackets)

Noxious has a minimum habitability of 30%

Can confirm, its a pretty fun way to play :D

are you running mods?

Since it's update time again, its time to remind everyone that if you're experiencing crashing issues, the first step to try is disabling your mods:

In the Paradox Launcher, Click Playset, and click Add New Playset, enter the name "No Mods". Do not add any mods to this playset, and run the game.

If you're still experiencing crashing issues after this, in the Launcher, go to Game Settings and choose "Borderless Fullscreen" or "Windowed" video mode.

If you're trying to play a 3.4.5 save on 3.5.1, you can roll-back to the previous version:
Right Click Stellaris, Go to Properties, Betas Tab, and choose "3.4.5 Rollback" from the dropdown.

If none of these solve your problem, you can go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket, and Customer Support will be able to help you further!

Originally posted by Immortalis: Modders do not get early access as a rule. Some might, others might not, ultimately it is at Paradox discretion wether they want to give anybody early access.

Depending on how big the mod team is, how big the patch hits the mod (let's say you have a flag mod, it won't be affected by a remake of armies and ground combat, but a new method for creating those flags would wreak havoc) and how busy the modders are in real life, you could look at different scenarios and ETAs. Some mods might still work though so you'll need to check them individually and go for a few trial run.

We do signups every patch cycle for modders to apply to be part of early access. This patch cycle has around 45 modders... Read more

Sounds like you're using out of date mods, or opted-into an old beta branch.

Right-Click Stellaris -> Properties -> Betas tab, the drop down should say "None"
Turn off all your mods, and verify your local game files
Right-Click Stellaris -> Properties -> Local Files, and Verify local files.

Reload the game and see if the issue persists, if it does go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket, and Customer Support will be able to help you fix this problem.

Originally posted by inquisitor19: Hi, I have this exact issue that's just started.

I have launched it within a window, re-installed, have no mods, have deleted Paradox Launcher v2 and reloaded, verified game files, attempted to alter game launcher settings as described above (I have no VSync, no idea what you're talking about). All I get is the loading screen with a completely frozen loading progress bar that just sits there.

Help?

Be sure you're using notepad++ or visual studio code to modify the defines file, as regular notepad will save text files in the wrong format.

Does the game crash without loading your modded defines file? If so, in the launcher go to video, and choose borderless fullscreen or windowed video mode.

The debuff goes down 5x faster if you go into positive income.

I came here to say this. Deficit situations resolve faster with a positive income than simply having a large stockpile, and the more positive your income the faster they resolve.

The deficit penalties hanging around after the deficit is resolved represents the time it takes for your industries, supply chains, etc. to correct themselves after they had their supplies cut off. -20% combat damage, for instance, could represent the loss of morale from your ship crews not getting paid for several months, or the lack of supplies caused by your empire unexpectedl...

This is not accurate. There is no crossplay between PC and the PlayStation Console. The crossplay in the launcher allows Steam players to play with players who bought the game on GoG/Microsoft Store. These people are still playing on PC.

Originally posted by Comrade Altruism: I want to play with an xbox and playstation friend

No. There is currently no crossplay between Console and PC, nor between PlayStation and Xbox.

In the launcher, go to Game Settings and choose Windowed or Borderless Fullscreen. If that doesn't work, try disabling any mod you might be running.

If none of those things work, go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket.

That's because we released a hotfix that fixes the desync issues :)

We released a hotfix this morning, which should address most of the current desyncing issues.

You can disable L-Gates in Galaxy Setup as of 3.4.4. Enjoy!

In-game, if you go to Settings and then Gameplay, there is an option to turn off event auto popups. This will cause events to make an exclamation notification along the top of your screen, then you can pause and read them at your leisure. (Don't wait too long, as many events will time out and pick the default option after 30 days).

There are also options under the gameplay settings for event auto pause (turn it on for all events), and auto unpause (turn it off, and manually unpause when you're ready), that will make your gameplay experience a little easier, and less overwhelming.

Hope this helps!

Choose borderless fullscreen or windowed mode in Game Settings in the Launcher. If that doesn't work, go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket.

Hope this helps!

I called them incompetent but they certainly seem to be. Poor them, they screwed up a game and now people are holding them responsible for it... Lol.

I would consider that an insult. The thread also started going off-topic. Please be respectful when posting on the forums and you'll be fine.

And this thread has run it's course.
