Launcher sees my DLC, game says I have none

[caimbuel]

Owned game for a few months, but bought all but aquatics as it was a long weekend and I was bored. All the DLC show up correct in the launcher, in the game it says I have none. I have 0 mods turned on atm. I have deleted Stellaris and reinstalled with 0 change. I have uninstalled steam, cleaned out appdata, Deleted all saved games, restarted and reinstalled to no avail.

Please do a full **clean** re-install of Steam and game:

- 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
- exit the Steam app entirely
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Stellaris AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris folders

- delete everything in the Steam folder EXCEPT steam.exe and the SteamApps folder
- run steam.exe to rebuild all that

- 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.
- start the game with no mods active and test


That really should do it!
