Some stores sold keys for the the game before release day, but they were not actually pre-order keys.

Please check with Humble - do they believe they were supplied pre-order keys by Paradox? Or ordinary keys?  

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.

You are having a communications problem. Make sure all these apps are allowed through all your firewalls

dowser.exe (in the Steam Stellaris folder)
C:/users/{username}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2.2021.8.2/paradox launcher.exe
C:/users/{username}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/bootstrapper-v2.exe

IF that doesn't help, also set each of those .exe files (EXCEPT Stellaris.exe !) to run as the Windows Admin user.  

Right click on ck3.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, cap refresh rate at 60.


IF that doesn't help please attach new copies of all those files, plus

As it seems you realise, the fps as such is not very important once it's over about 20 or 30. Obviously the stuttering is an issue.

Has this always been the case since you've had this game? Or it was okay up to some point?

Does the size of the galaxy you play make any difference?

Does it happen right from the start, or only in mid or late game play?

Is this only happening on speed 5, or lower speeds?

I moved your previous identical thread to the User Mods forum, as we cannot help with modded games here.

Hopefully the mod experts there can help you.  

Did you mean to post this in Bug Reports, perhaps?  

Right click on Documents in the left column of File Explorer, just under This PC there. Go to properties, location. What does it say in there?

If it says your Windows User Documents are held on OneDrive, that may be the issue - the game trying to write there while OD is syncing, something like that. Best to redo Windows settings so your User Documents folder is local, not on MS's cloud servers.

All game settings are stored locally ... I'm not sure what the alternative would be? In Steam, or something like that?  

Again:

That is not a Paradox game so we cannot help you here, sorry. Contact the developer or publisher of that game.

I've not come across Remote Mouse before - interesting tool! But I doubt that's contributing to your problem, unless maybe you are using it to play.

Disable the Discord overlay though, as a test.

If that doesn't help, the only other thing of concern in there is that there are numerous stuck In Progress or Failed Windows updates going back to 2020 when Windows was installed. It may be time to consider a Windows Reset or full wipe and reinstall!  

Any mods involved?

@grotaclas do you know if this is a design change of some sort, a bug, or perhaps a corrupt installation?  

Let's look at your setup then.

Well, we can't report it as a bug unless we think it is likely to be a game bug - QA would have to reproduce it locally to pass onto the developers, which I'm quite sure they would not be able to do (or everyone would get this!).

Make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that - does it still happen?

This issue is nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Please make your own new thread, with full problem history and system details, thanks.  ... Read more
