Hi everyone,

I would like to bring my contribution to devs there so i would like to explain how i reach the solution to the problem "Game not starting after pressing start on Launcher" (By the way, sorry for my poor english, i'm a french developer with some lacks in my english skills ^^)

So let's start with my setup :
i5 6500
Gigabyte H170M-HD3 DDR3
Corsair 8Go DDR3 (1600Mhz)
KFA GTX 970 Sniper Mode Edition
Windows 10 (64 Bits)
No particular firewall, the Microsoft one works well for me.
And some other stuff we don't care imo.

So i tried every solution found on this forum (reinstall / launch in admin Steam or Stellaris / Use compatibility Mode on Stellaris.exe) and the only solution, that make me go further on "How to solve the problem", which worked is "Windowed Mode", but the problem was still there :
The game is launching, i hear some music, if i minimize and re-open the game, i can see the game but every graphic assets are locked ! I can click somewhere, minimize, go back to game and i can see update, but nothing happens if the game is not minimized.
So i tried to continue my search and i also disabled every overlay (game works too if the Steam overlay is active), so Steam overlay but also my Graphic Cards overlay that give me FPS and my Nvidia Overlay :
YOU DID IT FAYNE !
Now the game is working like a charm, i hope this topic will be helpfull for thoses who are still stuck with this beautiful music and for devs who are looking for some fix to this awefull bug :(

See you !
Fayne.
