Stellaris doesn't work now

Comment
    MrFreake_PDX on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
If the game is crashing on startup, it's likely the launcher has forgotten your video settings. In the launcher, go to settings, graphics, and choose borderless fullscreen or windowed mode (the opposite from what it currently is) and see if that resolves it.

There also have been several reports of crashing issues that feature mods not deactivating correctly.

To resolve this:
Go to your Steam Profile, Workshop items, and click unsubscribe from all:

We also recommend clearing your downloaded Steam workshop items, you can find the default install locations here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\281990
and here:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod

Hope this helps!

Is Paradox stupid? Machines seem to die more often

Comment
    MrFreake_PDX on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
This sounds like a mod conflict.

Can you disable your mods and see if the issue persists? If it does, you will likely need to verify your game files:
Right click Stellaris, Properties, Local files and click Verify Game files. If that doesn't resolve your issue, opening a ticket at support.paradoxplaza.com is your best bet.

Hope this helps!

Creating and saving a (new) civic: game crash

Comment
    MrFreake_PDX on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
If you check your error.log in documents/paradox interactive/stellaris/logs/ and the last line says:
virtualfilesystem_physfs.cpp:1202]: Could not open file: settings.txt, error: permission denied

Then try this:
On the drive where Stellaris is installed (C:\ in this case), create a new folder called stellarisdata. The path to this file (in this example) should be c:\stellarisdata.

Then, on Steam, right click Stellaris, Properties and in the launch options box, add:
-userdir=C:/stellarisdata

and then load the game. After loading the game, you can move your user_empire_designs.txt and save games from documents/paradox interactive/stellaris into the new stellarisdata folder you've created

Crash after update

I can't even start a game, I just bought the Machine Age expansion (I have all of them now) and couldn't save even a bio empire without the game crashing. So even creating a new empire and trying to save it crashes everyone.

Such a great game just became 100% unplayable.
This issue has been added to our internal bug tracker, and will likely be addressed soon. In the meantime - if you don't want to wait for the fix - you can use my instructions above.

Alright, after talking with someone else who was experiencing this, and poking the tech lead we have identified the issue that is likely causing this, and a potential workaround:

This issue is caused by having non-US characters in the path to the user directory, and the game fails to save to the settings.txt file and then crashes.

The workaround:
On the drive that Stellaris is installed on, create a new folder called stellarisdata (I will be using C, but just substitute whatever drive you're using). the path to this folder in my example will be C:\stellarisdata.

Then, in Steam, right click Stellaris, go to Properties, and in the launch options, add this:
-userdir=C:/stellarisdata

Then run the game, and see if the issue persists.

Hope this helps!

Hello folks, we are seeing an increase in crashes in the crash reporter as well. Can someone who is experiencing this issue try running Steam as an admin, and see if the issue persists?

The Machine Age is Available Now!

Post
The Machine Age is a time of unbridled progress.

As cybernetic augmentation transcends the limits of the body, synthetic ascension beckons with the promise of eternal life. Structures of immense size and power appear between the stars with shocking regularity. Scientists race to unlock the secrets of creation even as individual machines compete for resources and prestige.

It is a period of technological marvels, rapid change, and unchecked ambition... But from the ashes of a Fallen Empire, a danger unlike any before encountered is about to emerge, a looming threat that will throw the very meaning of life into question.

Welcome to The Machine Age, a new Expansion for Stellaris developed by Paradox Development Studio!

Damn the Consequences bug?

Comment
    MrFreake_PDX on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
I've talked with the game designers about this extensively. I'm told that this is how it is supposed to work. If I recall correctly, we left off at making reference to the fact that it costs edict cap and monthly unity in the tooltip. I do not know when this will be included in a release, however.

I have turned notification off with shift+right click. Now I can not find where to undo this.

Comment

With the vanilla outliner, muted notifications will appear at the bottom of the outliner, as long as you have that turned on in the outliner options.

Outliner options are a little cog wheel towards the top right of the outliner UI. No idea where that appears with tiny outliner though.

I've been locked in the server room for three days after Rick caught sight of me coming out of a marketing meeting and chased me in here.

Every few minutes it tries to break down the door, I havent even slept. I'm scared. Everyone is back to work tomorrow, I hope the door holds out.
