Are you running any mods?

Thank you for the info!

Who was hosting the game when you first played, and when you rehosted?

I can pass info along to our team, but I may have to ask that you file a full bug report. I'll get back to you!

Hiya! To help you troubleshoot this, can you let me know what version of the game you're playing?

This was a known issue a couple versions of the game ago, and would usually pop up when an empire was created in the multiplayer lobby using a humanoids or plantoids portrait, when the game host has the humanoids or plantoids DLC, but the player creating the empire does not.

But if you're running into it during the newest version or a different scenario, please let us know!

In that case, it's probably best to reach out to our Support team!

Give this a try!

In that case, please try disabling all of your mods before starting, and let us know if you still have the same issue.

Are you using any mods?

You might try Step 3 of our usual issue-checking process:

Manually delete /Stellaris/ and redownload: (in Steam) Right Click Stellaris, Local Files, and click Browse. Delete the contents of the /Stellaris/ folder that opens (do *not* delete the /Stellaris/ folder in /Documents/, as it contains your save files and custom empires).

Well, welcome to the chaotic fun of the Discussions. Word of advice from someone who moderates on non-Steam forums and such, don't let the power you've been given, go to your head. And also, don't overload yourself. Sometimes being proactive can be stressful, so locate a balance. Because Volunteer Moderating is stressful.

Thanks for the advi... Read more

I'm glad at least one of you pops in often enough. I was told awhile back that PDX rarely checks Steam. This was from Paradox Support from the official website.

Here's some background for you! TL;DR: Currencies fluctuate, markets evolve, and we want to keep a good balance between fair prices for all of our players and a sound pricing strategy for our business.

So! We checked in-game, and this is an issue for us as well -- would you be so kind as to submit a bug report so we can have the team look into it?

Thanks!

By disabling your mods and redownloading, it sounds like you've covered most of the troubleshooting bases. I'd head to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket. Customer Support will be able to help you with this issue!

This sounds like you might've had a corrupted download from Steam, or have extra files in your /Stellaris/ folder.

This is our standard "something is broken" fix; since you don't have any mods, skip to step 2. :)

After each of these steps, reload the game and see if the issue persists (you may need to start a new game for some issues):
1. Disable all your mods, and ensure you're using a mod playlist with no mods enabled.
2. Verify your game files: (in Steam) Right-click Stellaris, Properties, Local Files, Verify Game Files
3. Manually delete /Stellaris/ and redownload: (in Steam) Right Click Stellaris, Local Files, and click Browse. Delete the contents of the /Stellaris/ folder that opens (do *not* delete the /Stellaris/ folder in /Documents/, as it contains your save files and custom empires). Then repeat Step 1.

If none of these things work, then go to ... Read more
