However, the odd behaviour with the textures makes it seem like a bug. It really looks like the textures are stuck on an ultra low quality setting (i.e. one that's not toggle-able in the UI) when the advanced shaders are turned off.

I can't say one way or the other really, all this is out of my area of expertise to be honest.

Has it always happened with this game since you've had it? Or only since when?

We see some GPU/driver issues in that error log, so you might try a clean reinstall of an older driver:

- uninstall the existing one with this tool:
https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx - reboot
- install the one from May 2020 from here:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download - reboot again

Good luck with that!  ... Read more

Any mods involved?


DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). 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 your Documents/Paradox/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach system.log .  

Yes, please update to the latest driver from here:
Download Drivers | NVIDIA  

No dxdiag there but I think you have an old nVidia driver in use; if so please update it from here:

This happens with a save that's never had any mods used in it?

I frankly don't know if what you see there is expected or not on your video system, although of course you would expect lower graphics quality with that option off. On my nVidia 1060 it looks somewhat similar but I'd say better than you see.

With the fps thing, is it just the higher fps number you are after? Or does it make for better general performance too?  

This is a widespread issue since the game was released, and is nothing to do with being on Linux, FYI.

After much work and analysis it's improved somewhat but it still affecting many people.

The latest hope I have is that the next patch 1.2 will address it fully.

Sorry about that!  

Destrark said: Starting a new campaign, none of my saves or auto-saves are being detected.

That sounds like a separate problem - these are saves with no mods in use also?  

Not sure if this is a bug or a local installation issue. Can you attach the affected saved game here please?

I've seen this with various video drivers. Was there an update of that just before this first happened?  

Work has continued on this since the game was released, and we had hopes that certain changes and fixes done in both Sept and Oct would fix it but clearly not so. They did reduce the breadth of impact though so that's something.

So I hope you didn't read somewhere official that it was definitely fixed for everyone in Oct!

My hope is the next game patch 1.2 , but unfortunately we don't have a date for that yet.

Sorry for this ongoing problem!  

Do you still have the previous card, if so can you test with that in?

Sorry about this, I am struggling to think of what this could be that is affecting you with this card but not the other card!  

Are these mods from Steam, our mod site, or local?

If Steam or our site, do they physically end up in the Documents/paradox/Stellaris/mod/ folder?  

Does this happen with every single mod you try? Or just one or some?  

Does unloading geforce experience change anything?

If not, I think it's worth investigating this as a possible hardware issue.  

FylkirTotil said: If I roll back to versions 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 the issue still happens.

I understand that. My question was whether this happened back when you were first on those patches, before 1.1.3 came out?

Destrark said: Hello. I am having the same problem with the game freezing on a white screen with a barely visible ck3 logo and progress circle when I try to go to the map.

Is this when starting the game, loading an existing save, or starting a new campaign?
