This thread is actually about GPU overheating, as it turned out. CPU is a different matter, are you sure all fans are working and your thermal paste is okay?

To answer your question, I'm not aware of any game setting that affects CPU usage, no.  

This situation has been forwarded to the external organisation that looks after our websites.  

SugarLife said: Whenever I launch stellaris and my save finishes load, within a minute or so my computer completely crashes

This only happens when loading a particular save/galaxy, are you saying? Or any one?

What if you start a new test galaxy now?  

Seems to be working from the browsers and machines I've tried.

Try flushing your dns or restarting your router.  

Please attach it here in a text file instead, thanks.  

If this game was started under the 3.8.x patches, this must be a game bug! Please post it in a new thread in Bug Reports, thanks.  

I see, we have no clues as to what is wrong on your machine to cause this to you then!

What if you make a new Windows user and log into Windows as that? Do you get the same symptoms then?  

I agree, that is what it seems. My guess is the testing on MacOS is pretty limited given the small player base, not all UI settings are tested perhaps.

By all means post this as a bug in Bug Reports!  

[Dev Team] 3.8.2 Hotfix Patch Released

Hello, Following some quick work from the team we have now produced a patch aiming resolve the high priority issues coming out of the Galactic Paragons + 3.8 release. 3.8.2 should be available for download via Steam and GOG now. Unfortunately... ... Read more

If you revert to the 3.7.x patches in the Steam beta stab for the game do you still get this issue?

[10:11:09][dlc.cpp:337]: Invalid supported_version in file: mod/ugc_2079926133.mod line: 16

Please disable ALL mods while we work on this.

I see several crashes in LightingService.exe which seems to be an ASUS utility that controls screen lighting. Please unload that, or prevent it from running at boot time then reboot. Do you still get this problem?

If so, in the Game Settings menu in our launcher disable Vsync and cap the refresh rate at 60, and leave it at fullScreen. Does that help when you alt-tab out and in?  

This is weird because we have reports in the main forum here that folks WITH VPNs cannot get into the wikis! They disconnect the VPN and can get in okay.

Are you now opted into 3.6.x , 3.7.x or no beta at all?  

I don't know what could cause that, the game runs fine under 13.3.1 (a) for me using the current game patch.

What if you run it from stellaris.app directly from Finder?

wilsong123 said: I did the trick with adding userdir.txt to the app directory, which removes that one error line

No need to do that. That 'error' is just the game's way of detecting if that file is in use, it won't help this problem I am sure.  

I haven't seen other such reports, yet anyway.

DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. 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 here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .


THEN can you test this on any other computer you might have access to?  

RedAntares said: As for your request, I just started a new game, apparently on 3.8.2 but the opening page says 3.6.1 (a6c5)

That makes no sense. Are you now opted into 3.6.x , 3.7.x or no beta at all?

And, can I ask why you went to 3.6 when your previous save was presumably 3.7?  

Please delete everything in the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ folders except any valued save games, then start a new test galaxy under 3.8.2 - is that any better?

But you would have ... Read more

Please go into the Bug Reports forum here, and report the game's failure to respect the refreshRate=60 settings.txt parameter, thanks.

If you have any way of limiting the fps by other means, I think GeForce Experience can do this for instance, please do!  

Sorry, forget about the .exe part, that does not apply to Macs.

This may be a bug on Macs at higher UI scaling settings. But we may as well try a clean reinstall:


- 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 Interactive/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.

**File Locations on Mac OS X**
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Stellaris/
