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. IF that doesn't help, Please do a full **clean** re-install: If so, in the launcher set Display mode to borderless. Sounds like you get past the launcher and the issue is starting the game itself, is that right? I even cleaned my registry from paradox entries to try a reinstall. A red panel says 'An error occured (dismiss)'.

When it goes to 'Downloading / Applying dependecies (3/7)'. I press 'install' and see a bunch of items. I then changed my mind, abandonned steam and wanted to install Stellaris from paradox Launcher instead. I changed the settings and tried stuff such as purging AppData and so on. 'An error has occured and the application quit unexpectedly. But when I try to launch it, I get 'Paradox Crash reporter' instantly.

Since Covid me and friends wanna play again and I try a fresh install on a new computer, but it failed miserably.įrom Steam, I can download Stellaris.
