Description
Achievements locked due to modified checksum despite having no mods

Game Version
v2.6.0 (6a97)

What version do you use?

Steam

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When I start an ironman game the game states I can't get achievements because my checksum is modified. However, I don't currently have any mod installed. I've uninstalled the game and deleted every single file, including workshop and saves and copied the game from an external hard drive, but it stil doesn't work.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

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

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "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.

Hi, sorry to hear about that. Let's see what we can try. I'm assuming you already tried verifying files as well, not just uninstalling and reinstalling? If you check your Stellaris folder in steamapps, how many files and folders does it have?

Yes, I've manually deleted all files from my computer, including saves, mods. Everything.

I've tried that. however, instead of downloading Stellaris again, I brought an old copy of Stellaris from an external hard drive, verified the data with Steam and downloaded only new content. That old version had no problems when I played it last November.

That might be part of the problem, steam is not that good at deleting files we no have removed from the game for example.

Then I'll try downloading it entirely again to see if the problem is still there and removing all previous files.

Achievements now work. Thanks!
