Description
Game doesn't load properly, screen flashes

Game Version
2.8.0

What version do you use?
Steam

What expansions do you have installed?
Utopia, Ancient Relics

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have a three display setup, my laptop screen plus two additional screens running through a USB port expander. Stellaris worked fine before the recent (11/2020) update.
When I start the same the splash screen appears and the music starts (and play to completion) however the two large monitor screen lock up and the laptop screen flashes, I can only get out by Ctl-Alt-Del and logging out. I have DX 10 installed do I need to install DX 11?

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Startup Stellaris from Steam. The desktop shortcut behaves the same.

Hi, thanks for the report. This might be better suited for Technical Support. However, can you attach your log files (both in \Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\logs\ and \Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\crashes, assuming you're on Windows)?
