Stellaris - no Globe icon

[René52]

Hi,
I'm a newby to Stellaris and on my first hour I noticed that I do not have the Globe icon on the right hand side.
How do I get this essential game function back.
Thx

Do you mean the Outliner? I'm not sure how or why it would have gone but it's triggered by the O key, does that work?

Ctrl-f9 hides the whole user interface, but it doesn't sound like what you are seeing.

Yes it is the Outliner. Tried the O key - didn't work.

Here is what I see. Any other suggestions ?

So it was there one day and gone the next, something like that? Or it disappeared while you were playing?


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.
- add stellaris.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- 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.
