Upon starting a game, whenever the progress bar reaches around halfway to completion, the game crashes to the desktop with the crash reporter pop-up. This is a new laptop and my previous one has been reset to factory settings.

2. Select any empire, player-made or preset.

3. Game crashes halfway through generation

Rolling back to 3.12.5 didn't work

Am currently reinstalling.

Update: I purged my entire subscribed mods, re-installed, verified upon installation, and tried it with the paradox launcher, still crashes.

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 that doesn't help:
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.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log
