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!

Major Bug regarding multiplayer

Comment
    PDX_ladydzra on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
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!

Stellaris Dev Diary #287 - The Art of MSI

Post

by Lloyd Drake-Brockman

Hi, I’m Lloyd Drake-Brockman, Concept artist on the Stellaris team. I worked extensively on the First Contact DLC and I'm excited to share some of the artistic journey that this pack took me and the art team on. Specifically we're going to be discussing the development of MSI, a new, non-player faction with a really interesting visual style. I was involved in designing most of their visual elements. I think we have ended up with a great set of designs that are quite unique in the world of Stellaris. I'm going to take you through some of my design journey working on various elements of this faction.

Stellaris Dev Diary #286 - Fear and Archaeotechs in First Contact

Post

by PDS_Iggy

Hello everyone! I am PDS_Iggy, and I’m here to tell you all about Fear of the Dark!

This new narrative origin for First Contact focuses on a people divided. After a planet in your solar system blew up, fear and xenophobia spread to such a degree that a large portion of your population decided to flee your homeworld. Their goal? To hide from the rest of the galaxy.

You mean, “The sane individuals of our species took the only prudent action possible when being attacked by an alien force capable of destroying planets!​"

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.

Stellaris Dev Diary #285 - Observation and Awareness

Post

written by Alfray Stryke

Hello!

Before I delve into the new systems for interactions with pre-FTL civilizations, I'm handing over to one of our newest Content Designers PDS_Bojj to discuss an example of the types of events that will feature in First Contact.

Pre-FTL Observation Events​ Hey, I’m PDS_Bojj! I’m a Content Designer on Stellaris. I’m jumping in to talk about the new observation events we have in First Contact!

The new Story Pack introduces a bunch of new events for those who build Observation Posts in orbit of pre-FTL worlds. These events give you the opportunity to gather research on pre-space-faring civilizations in various technological ages, and- if it takes your fancy- interfere with the development of their society.

Your chosen ethics will affect the types of events you c... Read more

What happened with prices?!

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?

Stellaris Dev Diary #284 - Broken Shackles

Post

written by CGInglis

Free at Last!
I’m incredibly excited to introduce ‘Broken Shackles’, one of the new origins featured in the upcoming First Contact DLC.

Watch the Video Dev Diary here:


From the very beginning of the project, Eladrin stressed the word ‘utopian’: First Contact celebrates the discovery of strange new worlds, and all the ways in which different cultures (and different species) interact with and support one another.

As I set out to design an origin for the DLC, this was the spirit and tone I was striving for. What’s more utopian than a rag-tag group of slaves who band together in a daring bid for freedom? Thrown together by the... Read more

[bug] Some DLC icons missing in empire selection screen

Comment
    PDX_ladydzra on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
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
