I have been dealing with this issue for several days now. I do not know when this problem actually occurred but I am certain it was sometime after the new launcher update (since i had not played about two weeks after its launch).
10/23/19 I played a multiplayer match with a friend who hosted and there were no problems at all.
10/24/19 We attempted to continue the same multiplayer match and I was met with multiple error issues.
First issue was that the game simply didn't launch after hitting play from the new launcher.
Second issue was once I got the game to play by using administrator mode, steam say I was playing a different game than my friend.
once I resolved that (at least i think i have), the MAJOR issue that has popped up is that my DLC is missing from the game.
Both Steam and the Launcher tell me that I have 15/15 DLC and that they are all enabled. However, when I launch the game, I have access to none of it.
I have also confirmed that the DLC is indeed in their DLC folders.
I have done many things over the last three days to solve this problem and have met no success.
1. Verify game
2. Run administrator mode
3. add game to firewall
4. un-check and re-check DLC via steam to re install.
5 uninstall and re install game -> Verify game
6 uninstall and delete stellaris documents folder and then re install -> verify game
7. clear steam download cache
8. make a paradox account and link steam to it
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game about 3 times now with no success.
PLEASE HELP! I am at the end of my rope and I don't know what to do next! there are no threads with my specific issue and all others that i have attempted to follow have not resulted in resolving my problem!
