Stupid question time

[Kallor]

Hey there,

I haven't played Stellaris for a while, and I went to check it out, see what's new etc yesterday. I have it on Steam. and I tried to play the game through them, and the shortcut I have on my desktop, and I'm brought to a screen where I need to log in, which I did. But now I do not see a play button anywhere. what stupid thing am I'm not seeing/doing?

Thanks for the help.

I suppose you're talking about the launcher? If you don't see a play button that's damned strange. This is how my launcher looks:

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

thanks, yep no play button

Hmm. Register your game and you'll probably get help here .

Can you at all take a screenshot of the issue @Kallor ?

FYI you don't need to log in to play.

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.
