Was going to start a new game today, but my game kept crashing at 53% exactly every time I tried to launch it, I've verified file integrity with steam, I've uninstalled and redownloaded, I've done a full clean reinstall, I've tried running straight from the .exe as well, and yet no matter what I try the game always crashed at 53%, can't seem to find answers here, on steam or on reddit, so I've just taken to writing my own post, hope someone can help me here, that would be great!
 
New NVIDIA App crashes the game. Delete it.

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
 
Is this 100% confirmed? Because I'm not seeing it.

It helped too. Now the game even loads faster.
