Hello everyone!

I hope you are all excited to get your hands on our next expansion ‘Overlord’ next week! Expanding on the Subject/Ruler dynamic has been something that we know a lot of you (and us, internally) have been wanting for a very long time, so it’s really amazing to finally see it come to fruition!

So to hold you over until Overlord release, here is the usual Dev Diary containing the changelog for you to read!

But first, we have a few Community events to talk about:

Today at 1700 CEST (UTC + 2), join us on the ... Read more

One thing to try, is go to add/remove programs, and uninstall Paradox Launcher v2. Then relaunch the game, wait for the launcher to update, and then restart it.

If that doesn't work, go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket. Customer support will be able to help you far better than I can! :)

Hope this helps!

Are you running mods? It sounds like one of your mods is crashing the game.

after this i the game started giving me a white screen durring loading. around my 2nd or 3rd start i got a steam pop up saying it couldnt popperly sync with the cloud.

i have sense fully started steam then tried to reinstall stellaris both had no change. i am using no mods

There's a hiccup with some of the forum functionality, right now, including Paradox Mods. Should be resolved by tomorrow.

And crippling everything.

also because of this - instantly getting like 100 fleets of building ships in the fleet-area. So - my full organization down. Why they even get marked as their own fleet? Man, i prefer when they drive into enemy territory and get destroyed insteaad of crippling my full organisation level.

how to deal with this? i cant control 400 of my own fleets to deal with this small-fleet spamming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

whats the reason of having fortress-stations when they are useless?
This should be addressed in 3.4. More details... Read more

If you look at this week's DD, the pop growth penalty with Lithoids does not stack with the pop growth penalty from Subterranean. :)

Hello everyone, it is me Offe, one of the Humans working on Stellaris. Today I will bring you an update from the Custodian AI initiative. Before we dive into today’s dev diary let’s do a quick recap of the AI work that went into the 3.3 patch.

If you have been following the AI dev diaries you probably know that our main objectives for the 3.3 Libra patch was to improve the economy management of the AI, especially with a mid and late game perspective in mind. The reason for this wa... Read more

The ship cannot be engaged. I can move my fleet away from the combat like it is not engaged. But my AI allies are not that smart. The invincible battleship below chewed through 2M worth alliance assets. The only way to get rid of this ship was to conquer all planets of the fallen empire.

This ship moves from one star system to the next but remains invincible.
Engaging it somewhere else doesn't improve the situation.

I haven't received a complete list of the free features coming in 3.4 "Cepheus" from the dev team, but these are the things I've been told are included (this list may be out of date and/or incomplete):

New Situations system will be free. (There will be paid Situations content as well however)
Some of the Vassalization Contracts stuff will be free, including the ability to build up to one holding.
Some holdings will be free, some will require other DLC (a good example is the asteroid colony ship test site, which requires Lithoids), and some will require Overlord.
Tributaries, Vassals, Protectorates and the Corporate subject type will remain free (and keep most of their effects from previous versions, from my understanding -- integration will be disabled by default now, however).
The new empire colors, empire icons and backgrounds will be free.
There are tons of Quality of Life improvements (ie. build gateways in vassal space, auto resettlement improve... Read more
