Help, Something is wrong with my game

[Big Brain Boi]

Can someone help, My game is broken, for every -day- that goes by, six events pop up again and again over and over until it floods the top with events. Has anyone had this problem, it started around a week ago and after uninstalling/reinstalling, verifying the integrity. Im at a lost. If I turn off pause when an event occurs i can play somewhat properly but itll spam the pop up noise and flood the top with events leading to me not being able to see the actual events in game i.e. research and the such. something is wrong, can anyone help!

So far as I know this is a mod issue. If you start a new galaxy with no mods at all enabled, do you still see this happen?

I dont run any mods, i dont like using them. or even know how to put them on properly. I have every dlc except the new aquatics dlc that just came out.
Also i cant run a ironman game anymore becuase it says "checksum has been modified" does this help? something here broke im guessing file wise maybe?

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere, and user_empire_designs.txt from /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ if you have made any custom empires or races.
- "uninstall" in Steam-Stellaris
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Stellaris AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add stellaris.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Stellaris or Documents Stellaris locations, before installing again.
