My Game has stopped Working-Stellaris

[Chronos]

Hi I wouldn't bother any of you if I wasn't at my wits end. I no longer can start a new game. My error log has no problems. I'm completely Vanilla all mods deleted and unsubbed. But when I hit new game nothing happens it just freezes. No error log messages. No game versions work. I have verified steam files. Uninstalled and reinstalled countless times. I have reached a point where there are no errors found in the error log. I have been on reddit and I couldn’t figure out the problem. I wa slipping through the game files and noticed that most items were “Missing Localization” I don’t know what this means but it sounded like something was wrong.

Thanks in advance!

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/Stellaris folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- 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.


If that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/Stellaris/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

Ok I will send the log and update ASAP

Alright I tried the downloading bit, but still no progress there are the three files requested.

Ah, the dreaded Vega drivers. Sad to see that they are not fixed yet, although you might try the very latest one from here:
https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/frontier?os=Windows 10 - 64

If that doesn't help, the only one I've seen work is 17.9.3, so I'd suggest you try that:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Windows 10 - 64&rev=17.9.3

Alright that makes sense they have been a terrible problem for other games. Thanks for the help, great customer service.

Well well well!
