Hey guys, like I said in the title I am having issues with blank notifications. Every day I get maybe 10 or say blank anomaly failure boxes pop up. They are normally for even 4012 but that also varies. I only know what they are from the debug option, the actual box is 100% blank.

I ran the game one time (with some mods) and went to make a new species. It gave me a weird option to select my habitability in the traits section as a 0 cost selection with no limit (including tomb, ring etc.) so I think that is somewhat related. After that happened I have reinstalled twice, verified the files and removed all mods etc yet it won't go away. I tried clearing user cache too but that doesn't seem to fix the notifications or the weird traits thing. Has anyone experienced this or know any tips?

Since the above I have also tried deleting the mods folder and deleting all paradox stuff from steam. Help!

I've heard of this on a couple of mods I am subscribed too, but they have been mostly fixed now. I've not encountered it myself. It definitely sounds mod related, although you've said you've deleted them etc, so not sure what to tell you. Is this happening on a specific save game, or every game you try?

Every which is why I am confused. I don't know what changed and why I can't change it back. It was working this morning then just broke suddenly and won't revert even with the base game and a reinstall

I remember reading somebody fixing the issue by removing files from the Events folder (in Stellaris' folder) and verifying the files afterwards in Steam.
