In future please start your own thread, thanks.

Did you try disconnecting the machine from the internet, starting the game, then connecting again if the game runs?

And, disable the Steam overlay - does that help?  

I don't actually play this game myself, but I don't recall such reports here.

Is this in all unmodded galaxies, regardless of size or number of leaders?

Right from the start of a new galaxy, or only in mid or late game play?

Has it always been like this for you, or was okay up to some point?


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

THEN test with a new unmodded galaxy.

If that doesn't 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 th... Read more

A CK3 patch does not change the launcher (they are separate apps with independent update processes), so I don't understand what's happened there. Indeed the launcher hasn't changed for about 2 weeks now, AND CK3 not for a week. Could that update you saw, have actually been a mod you are subscribed to?

But if you get the same error as above when running ./ck3 then that's nothing to do with the launcher. All I can suggest is seeking Linux help for how to obtain and install that package. Good luck!  

If this is the Steam edition you can see your cloud saves here:

That is just a reference to the two game folder structures I detailed in the previous lines. The point being they need to be completely gone or empty before the reinstall.  

What missing DLLs are these please?

Has this game ever worked on this computer?Or never yet?  

If there are no logs then the game is not even attempting to start. Which is more likely a launcher or Linux issue.

What happens if you run ./stellaris from a command line in Terminal?  

PadwiseGamgee said: No - If I run that, then Steam still opens up, the launcher opens and I get the same issue.

Running the .app files directly from Finder does not start the launcher. Did you perhaps do it on a desktop shortcut or something like that?  

That seems to be saying that library needs to be installed or updated. It wouldn't surprise me if CK3 needed a newer one than Stellaris.

Please do a full **clean** re-install of Steam and game:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- exit the Steam app entirely
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3 folders
- delete everything in the Steam folder EXCEPT steam.exe and the SteamApps folder
- run steam.exe to rebuild all that
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add CK3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

Good luck!  

You are critically short of free space on your boot drive C: - Windows likes at least 10% free there. This means Windows could not swap out much in memory if it needed to, so your free paging file space cannot be used.

Whether that is related to this game problem I'm not 100% sure but it definitely needs to be addressed. See if you can move anything from C: to D: so there is, say, 20gb free on C: (10gb for extra swap space, 10gb for Windows' elbow room).


As to the game log: it stops just after the sound section, when Unity starts loading the game and its DLCs. I think we might try a clean reinstall:

- move any valued save games elsewhere; they are under
C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\{large number}\
- "uninstall" in Steam-Surviving Mars
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Surviving Mars AND C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\ folders
- re-insta... Read more

So the launcher itself runs okay? These problems only start when you hit PLAY in the launcher (or run ./stellaris)?

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 , exceptions.log

Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.  

If this crash is repeatable from that save file, this is very likely a game bug so we will not be able to address it here - it will need a code patch to fix.

Please make a new thread in Bug Reports and attach the save there for QA to look into.

Sorry for that problem!  

Can i get new copies of all these files please.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log  

I'm not a developer so i have even less idea about such things than you do, I'm afraid. What I can say is POPS is the Paradox online services, so that is probably to do with logging into your Paradox account.

It seems you feel this is a game bug, although why it would affect you but not all Linux users with the same libc versions I'm not sure. By all means start a new thread in Bug Reports and post the details of your problem there, plus any crash dumps or logs you see.  

"vsync"={
version=0
enabled=yes
}

"refreshRate"={
version=0
value=144
}

Please disable Vsync and set that refresh rate cap to 60. Is that any better?  

Are you sure it is Steam doing that? Could you be subscribed to it in mods.paradoxplaza.com ?  

2023-12-11 11:16:09 [daemon] [ERROR] versions: downloading repo metadata: downloading repository metadata: Get ".asc": signing TTL received is too close to current time (threshold of 60 sec)

This error means your computer is not on good internet time, which confuses our servers. Go into the Date&Time control panel and make sure Set Time Automatically is ON. Then hit the Sync Now button.

Then run the game again, the launcher will probably update itself now.

Then try logging into your Paradox account in the launcher. If that works, can you get into MP in the game?
