Cannot launch the game

[Velka]

Hi, when i try to launch the game it pop the "stellaris" screen then it close with the next error:
An error ocurred
Launching the game failed. Please verify the integrity of your game files. If you are using Windows, you may also need to intall Visual C++ redistributable and net framework.
The game launch if i play in 3.2.2 rollback but after 3.3 it will give me the error.
I try the next things:
- Reinstall visual c++ anbd net framework
- Reinstall nvidia drivers
- Execute from the stellaris.exe with steam and the stellaris.exe as admin
- Reinstall stellaris
- Execute with the opengl command
- Execute it on differents screens as borderless, full screen and windowed mode
- Disable discord, nvidia & steam overlay
- Try different resolutions & lenguages (dont ask about that last, i was desesperate xD)
- Launch cross-store multiplayer
- Delete paradox appdata local to reinstall it
- Beta Launcher

Here are some of the settings files from document/paradox interactive/stellaris (all the other log files are empty)

What happens if you run stellaris.exe directly from File Explorer? Any Windows error show then?

I have this exact same problem happening to me that just started today after the update. I didn't see this thread before I posted my own request for help for this issue.

Just a quick update I rolled the game back to 3.2 and was able to get it to launch. Trying on the later versions would get the same error as before.

I have the same issue as you do. But I wonder whether it is the launcher's issue cuz my HOI fail to start as well with the launcher(with the same warning) while I can still open stellaris directly from the file explorer

I have HOI4 and i didn't have that issue when I tried to start it. I did try to install a separate paradox launcher (apart from the steam version) and play the game, but it wouldn't get past a loading screen before it crashed. If I rolled the launcher back to 3.2 it would launch the game.

Seems to me like the problem isn't related to the launcher or Steam but the updates after 3.2 This is perplexing as I was playing the game just fine the previous night before the latest update, but now that version isn't playable. I'm about to try the game on my gaming laptop next.

I was able to get the game to run without issue on my Predator Gaming Laptop which has a RTX 2070 super GPU. Still not luck on my main PC with an RTX 3080. Hope this helps narrow the problem so we can get a solution.

Still have the problem

DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log

As i post u in previous images there is no excepcion.log and the error.log is empty so i cant send it but here are the other ones

In your Steam Library right-click on this game and choose Properties. Click on Set Launch Options, and paste this in there:
-opengl

Does the game then start from the Steam PLAY button?

- Beta Launcher

As the game does not run from stellaris.exe there is no point in attempting to do anything with the launcher, it cannot be the problem.

Has this game ever worked on this machine? Or never yet?

Do HOI4 and EU4 work okay on it?
