3.3.4 "Libra" Hotfix Released

Post

written by Loke-PDX

Hi all,

We've now released a hotfix, 3.3.4, to address the performance issue that appeared for many of you with Tuesday's 3.3.3 patch.

Essentially we had to roll back a part of the Starbase modifier fix to let the game run smoothly again.

Please find more details below.

3.3.4 Patch Notes:
[expand type=details]
  • Fix to address performance impact on mid- to late-game saves.

Known issue

Under certain circumstances Starbase modifiers may not immediately update, such as after the death of a ruler or activating edicts like Fortify the Border. Saving and loading or queuing a starbase module will refresh and correct the modifiers.

Remember to keep your eyes peeled for today's Dev Diary at 18:00!

We are investigating reports that some users are experiencing stuttering and performance issues when running on 3.3.3. We have enabled the 3.3.2 rollback branch for those of you experiencing stuttering and performance issues after the latest patch.

To roll back: right-click Stellaris, go to Properties, Betas tab and choose "3.3.2 Libra Rollback" from the drop-down.

I haven't heard of anyone experiencing issues with playing a 3.3.3 save on 3.3.2.

Sorry to say it.

This video shows Stellaris running on the Steam deck. It does take some time to load, and no promises on how fast it will run as I haven't tried it out myself, but I'm excited to try! :D

Stellaris Dev Diary #245 - We have a Situation

Post

written by Caligula

Welcome to this week’s dev diary! Eladrin is busy with something exciting this week, so I’ve been roped into writing about the almost as exciting new Situations system we will be adding in the next patch.

The idea for implementing this system comes from the realisation that Stellaris provides excellent systems to tell stories about things that have happened - e.g. anomalies and archaeology sites - but lacks a good structure through which to tell stories about things which are happening right now. While we have a number of such stories, they are often either not as complex as we’d like them to be (e.g. we’d prefer to have more factors taken into account), or they are disproportionately complicated for us to implement (i.e. time-consuming and bug-prone). Either way, the player experience is often not a... Read more

Staying small ;-P

Wide is still more powerful than tall. Its simply that you need to build more researchers to get the same tech progress as previously, which is fine, because you're wide, and you have more space. :)

Stellaris Dev Diary #244 - A Time for Change

Post

written by grekulf

Hello everyone!

Today I’m here to deliver some big news, namely that my tenure as Game Director for Stellaris is ending, and Stephen Muray (aka Eladrin) will be taking over. I will still be staying with Paradox Development Studios, but I will be stepping down so that I can focus on an unannounced project that I am leading.

Stellaris will be in great hands, and Stephen and the team deserve all the credit for 3.3 ‘Libra’. My involvement was no more than setting the initial path towards the Unity rework.

I am extremely proud and happy with what we’ve accomplished, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what Stephen and the team can achieve together. The game is possibly in a better state than it has ever been, and with the Custodian Initiative going strong I feel like now is the best t... Read more

Suddenly I now crash when loading in a game or even a new one. (on Linux)

The game does not close, it stuck on the loading screen.

Originally posted by HEDD616: The game don't even start to me. Also linux.

3.3.x no longer runs on Ubuntu 16 or 18 due to needing newer GLIB versions. The minimum requirement to run Stellaris 3.3.x is now Ubuntu 20.04 or higher.

cant even launch the game on steam help

Originally posted by Creole7Supreme: i uninstalled and re downloaded this multiple times and i cant play it
It's likely a launcher issue. 9/10 times, failure to launch is caused by the display settings.

In the launcher, go to game settings and choose borderless fullscreen or windowed display mode. You can also try uninstalling Paradox Launcher v2 via Add/Remove Programs, then relaunch Stellaris, and it automatically redownload it.

If those two things don't work, go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket.

Hope this helps!

Is this a save you started before 3.3 launched?

Funny thing is that they didn't even bother gathering fleet to attack my vassal - it was very, very weak nation, one planet, fleet way below 1k.
The AI improvements in 3.3.* are to make the AI handle its economy better, it hasn't done anything to the way the AI moves and positions its fleets during wars.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thx for the answer - is there some temporary fix maybe? I mean - to rollback steam version to 3.3.1? (I don't saw that version in steam previous patches unfortunately)

The Microsoft store just updated. So no temporary fix necessary! :)
