Game just closes(crashes?) [Linux]

[Namal]

Was playing today fair amount of time about 3-4 hours but now game just closes without any notifications. I have the usual launcher problems because i am on Linux but this behavior is new.

The launcher crashed on Linux when it was version 2023.14 , but it ought to be okay now 2023.16 . What actual launcher problem are you having?

Are you running the Flatpack or other such installation of Steam? If so, you need to instead use the proper Steam one:

Steam, The Ultimate Online Game Platform

Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.

store.steampowered.com

"Install Steam Now"

Are you using the native Linux version of the game, or playing via Proton or Wine?


And finally, what happens if you run ./stellaris directly from a terminal command line? What output do you see when it crashes?

I have ubuntu 23.04, native steam. Yes, i have the 2023.14 version of the launcher, but I don't know how to update it since it just closes before it can be updated. I would just uninstall and reinstall the game, but I would lose all my saves because I don't save on the cloud.

Edit: I just try reinstalling the game. Maybe I get the new launcher....I reinstalled, but I did not get the new launcher
Edit2: ok, I now know how to fix the launcher thanks to this. But I also had to delete the launcher-v2.sqlite in the Stellaris folder.
