Run Time Error

[znuzzo]

When attempting to start Stellaris from Steam, I get a runtime error, with the following message
"This application has requested the Runtime to Terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information".

This has been happening for about a day, I have tried reloading the C++ libraries, verifying the game cache, and reinstalling.

So it used to run OK?

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

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local content" 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, please exit Steam entirely. Run stellaris.exe by itself - any new errors appear then?
