Game crashes as soon as it hits 100% loading

[Bigblueelf]

Hi. Just added The Machine Age DLC and now my game will open the launcher, the loading screen will come up and load and when it hit's 100%... game crashes. I have:

• Updated my graphic driver
• Tried borderless window
• Tried window
• Clean install
• Clean install and verified the file

and each time the game will crash at 100% loading where it worked a few days ago. After reading a post I'm adding the requested files (and making a new post due to the one I got the info from being 5 months old as of my post)

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 Interactive/Stellaris folders - 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.
- 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.

THEN unload all other apps (as you are short of available memory and your Windows Paging file is almost full), especially including Nvidia geForce Experience, if running.


THEN Right-click on stellaris.exe, properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullscreen optimizations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply, and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select the fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, refresh rate 60.


If still a problem, all those files again please plus error.log , exceptions.log

The patch seemed to fix it but I'll keep that info in mind if it happens again. Ty
