Stellaris Dev Tracker

Still shows as empty, and when I try to open a folder it says I don't have permission.

There should be no problem attaching .txt or .log files here though ... ?  

its.chloe567 said: Is the problem that I shouldn't be seeing fps above 60 with those settings?

Yes; with vsync off, fullScreen and RR cap of 60 you should never get fps over 60.

I'm not clear if you are saying running stellaris.exe directly had any effect on the stuttering issue though?

I am puzzled by your valious video/graphics anomalies though. I can only guess they are connected with the game problem, yes. Does galaxy size make a difference?

I thought GoG used their Galaxy as their front end - are you not using that but purely running from stellaris.exe ? In the case of those other platforms that would certainly prevent them from recording achievements.

In any case, I've drifted off from your core issue that the in-game browser is not working in that respect. GoG is the one game version I have no access to so cannot test that; it's probably best to make a new thread in Bug Reports on that issue, if there is not one already, as I don't believe there's anything you or I can do to fix that here.  

Are these crashes reproducible from a save file? That is, if you load it again does it crash in the same place o you can carry on for a while?

If so please make a new thread in Bug Reports and attach it there for QA to look into.


If it's more random though; is there any particular action or event in the game that seems to trigger it?

All the folders in that attached file show as 0 bytes here ...

its.chloe567 said: what do you mean by this? Run it by clicking on stellaris.exe in the folder it's kept in instead of the shortcut?

Double clicking on it in File Explorer, yes. That bypasses our launcher and Steam, and 100% ensures no mods are in effect.

All achievements are triggered in the game and so show inside the game, yes, of course! But Steam ones are indeed managed by Steam which is how you get them in your Steam account.

I'm still not sure which edition you have but for instance the same is true of Epic - they manage them , they are part of your Epic account not Paradox account. You click on the ellipsis in that game in your Epic library, and choose Game Achievements there to see them.

I don't have a GoG account so I can't check that one.  

If you get this problem now in a game version you used 6 months ago that did not show the problem then, the problem must come from outside the game. How that gels with seeing it on two separate computers is hard to understand though!

As you have ticked the "disable fullScreen optimisations" box for stellaris.exe I cannot understand how you can have the fullScreen issue you describe. What if you run stellaris.exe by itself, does that still happen?

You mention mods; please disable or preferably unsubscribe from ALL mods while we work on this.

Do you actually see an fps rate of 60 or lower in the game? This is to confirm the settings we did have taken effect.  

I see, then your achievements are run by your other vendor - GoG, Epic, or MS/Gamepass I guess. I'm not so familiar with those platforms but I'd assume they have an equivalent way of viewing them.  

its.chloe567 said: whenever i launch the game in fullscreen mode the main menu is completely unresponsive and i have to alt-tab out and back in to fix it.

The "disable fullScreen optimisations" step I gave you should fix that. Have you done that?

You can see your achievements in the Steam client. Click on this game in your Steam library, and go to View My Achievements.

Is that what you were after?  

Has this always happened ever since you've had the game? or is 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 does not help:
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 .

Did you do this? Because that settings.txt says:

fullScreen=no

I'm not aware of any way of deleting Steam cloud saves other than from within the game. Steam let you view and download them here, but no delete option:

Well, if it did it was an Xbox/MS one, not ours!

Do these items show in your Xbox online as you owning them still?

If so, please try this:

- uninstall the game from the XBox

- clear the XBox cache and game files (save game data)

Jeez, I hope that does it for you!  

I don't know why you are having such trouble on this hardware! Your GeForce 1080 is not that different from my GeForce 1060 for instance, yet I have no such issues with any of our games.

If you make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that, do you get the same issues?  

Nerjin said: EU4 does not let you turn off VSync but I turned it off in the settings.txt and same issue. It does not respect the refresh rate cap

You'd also need to set vsync=off in there, do you do that?

Do make sure you unload GeForce Experience while we work on this, as it often has unexpected effects on our games for some reason.  

You can move or copy your user empire designs.txt from /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris Plaza/ to /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ , yes.  

If your monitor and nVidia differ on what fps you are getting, I'm not at all surprised the game is having trouble!

Has this situation always been the case since you've had this game?

What about with EU4 and CK2?
