Linking multiple steam accounts to one Paradox account?

[GlitchWolf]

I'm experiencing a rather major issue. I have two steam accounts, one of which owns Stellaris and all of the DLC for it
However, for privacy reasons which I will not get into here, I play all my games through a second steam account, through family sharing
My paradox account is linked to the account that owns the game (for rather obvious reasons)
Today when I tried to launch the game, the launcher started saying that it 'couldnt verify ownership' of my DLCs
It works just fine on the linked account, so the problem might be with family sharing deciding to just not give me the DLC (which would make no sense as its worked in the past)

But I'm not interested in where the exact problem is, I just need to know if I can link the steam account I actually use to my paradox account, or in some way verify the ownership of the DLC with the paradox account itself so that I can actually play the game that I've spent over $150 on.

Linking your paradox account would not help you with your problem, because the paradox account is not involved in verifying the ownership of your DLCs when you play the steam version of the game. The launcher checks with steam to verify the ownership. But maybe the problem is not with family sharing, but that the launcher can't talk to steam correctly. Have you actually tested if the DLCs work or not? Eu4 had the problem that the launcher could not verify two DLCs for a few months, but the game could still do it and they worked correctly. Or maybe it helps to restart steam or start the game directly from the steam library(and not from a desktop shortcut for example).

Alternatively you could use the standalone version of the launcher if you use Windows or Linux. You can download it from https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/our-games/launcher if it is not already installed. If you log in to that launcher with the paradox account which is synced with the steam account which owns stellairs, you can install the paradox-launcher version of stellaris. And that version should use your paradox account to verify the DLCs. But I think you won't have access to steam features with that game version(e.g. steam overlay, achievements, steam multiplayer).

If I have understood right this has been mostly discontinued and for eg. Stellaris newest supported version is 3.4.x something.

Launcher Not Aware of Updates Past 3.4.5

My Paradox Launcher is unable to see that there are updates for Stellaris past version 3.4.5. It thinks 3.4.5 is the latest version. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Stellaris, hoping it would install the true latest version, but no, it...

Thank you for the information. I didn't know that. Then this option won't help and it is back to fixing whatever steam problem there is.

Does the second Steam account you use own the Stellaris base game? If so, Steam Family Sharing will no longer work for you, they've changed it to only be able to share with accounts that do not own the base game at all.
