I'm sorry but I cannot help with modded games here. If you get this in an unmodded game please report it as I suggested; if only in a modded game please post in User Mods.

Thanks.  

Please update that nVidia driver to 531.29 or later

If that doesn't help, we see several LiveKernelEvent entries in that dxdiag. Have you seen that happen, is it related to the game or something else?

And, the changes we made in the launcher don't seem to have come through to settings.txt , not sure what could cause that. What happens if you run stellaris.exe directly?  

Please do that process again, but isntead of running the game try this updated installer:
https://launcher.paradoxinteractive.com/v2/paradox-launcher-installer-windows

IF that doesn't help still The 1603/1605 errors we see there are typically a previous other installation stuck, or a problem in the Windows update/install processes.

If you see msiexec running in Task manager-processes, kill it and try this launcher install again please.

Otherwise run the Update app in Windows, does it load okay, find anything to apply - whether a patch, update, or whole new Windows 10 version? If so do that and reboot, then try this launcher install again please.

If this is an unmodded game, this is almost certainly a bug. Please make a new thread in Bug Reports and attach an affected save game for QA to look into.  

Game crashes after couple hours of play

My game crashes and is just unable to play right after the loading screen.

These two don't seem to agree with each other - can you clarify exactly what is happening when, please?


Has this always happened since you've had this game? or it was okay up to some point?

Right click on stellaris.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, refresh rate 60.


If that doesn't help:

tmurph13 said: I have the same launch issue on Steam PC except I don't even get an error message. It just aborts.

In which case it is very likely not the same problem. Please try the above anyway, and make your own thread with those logs if it does not help. Thanks.  

imgonnahurtu said: Per the thread title, Stellaris will not launch from steam. Any attempt to do so results in the attached error window appearing.

I have tried reinstalling both Stellaris and Steam, verified file integrity, and also launched the game (successfully) from the Stellaris application in the actual steam folder itself.

As far as I can tell the issue seems to be tied to the Launcher-Installer-Windows. To the best of my knowledge the first launch of Stellaris is supposed to launch this and then install the launcher (obviously). However, while I can run Stellaris the application i...

You've replied to a 7 year old thread on a different game. Do not do this.  

In the game launcher please set Display mode to Borderless. THEN go here:

Can you do a test install on any other machine you might have access to? that will tell you if this isa. bug or an installation problem.

If a bug please make a new thread in Bug Reports on the issue. Thanks!  

Indeed - we cannot gift you a second copy of all those items, we'd have to buy them from Steam to give to you.

I'm sorry your account got hacked but this will have to be sorted out between you and Steam.  

This is covered here:

Update of our End-user license agreement (EULA) and Communication Preferences

Hey everyone and happy new year! I’m Famous (somewhat long, and unfortunately, not a funny story about the nick) and I’m one of the legal eagles at Paradox Interactive. This is my first post in the forum! We are updating our End-User License... ... Read more

FYI there's no point in reporting the same problem in multiple places, the same person looks at both - me!

1% lows were 32fps
0.1% lows were a measly 5fps

the framerate dips massively whenever an in-game day passes, and it dips even more when an in-game month passes.

That seems to imply that the game's regular calculations, which of course are done by the CPU, are affecting your GPU somehow. It is hard to imagine what could possible cause this in modern hardware!

Please install and run the free ... Read more

xixixi said: I`m pretty sure the AI does not work well with specific generated empires and produces errors by itself (in the decision-making stuff) which later then result in game crashes.
These access violation exceptions could also happen through mutlithreading in the AI, ThreadA is calculating some stuff while ThreadB is alread trying to access and use is (before the calculation and final decleration is finished)

If that is the problem, then you and I will not be able to fix this for you here, it would need a game patch.

But let's see how the clean... Read more

A saved game from several years ago will not work properly under the current game version, there have been too many major changes since.

To continue it you'd need to revert to the game version you last played it under. You can see what game version was released when here:

We don't have a direct link to the Paradox Achievements page, indeed so far as I know there is no such thing. I've certainly never heard of it in 20 years of working with Paradox. But I know you are going to disagree with me on that, so let's drop it.

If you can get the in-game browser working that is bypass the whole issue, so I still suggest you lodge that as a bug.  

I open .zip files here every day; .7z not so commonly but I don't recall having such issues before.

As you can see in those log files you're getting corrupted saved games, and other errors that I'm not seeing elsewhere. Are you 100% sure no mods are in use here?


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 Interactive/Stellaris folders - 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.
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add stellaris.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if... Read more

its.chloe567 said: I also experienced some crazy coil whine from my gpu which I've never had before (along with framerates in the 800+ range)

Okay, we definitely have a refresh rate problem here. Why this is affecting your particular setup so badly I do not know, but please go ahead and report the failure to cap it as a bug, thank you.

Then you'd want to limit the refresh rate/fps by some other means, to prevent possible damage to your GPU. I'm not sure if GeForce Experience or the MSI apps have a way of doing that?
