Hello! Every time I try to play Stellaris the launcher has issues. Usually the thing will take between 2-3 minutes to load up. Once it has it will take a further 30 seconds to load up any mods I have installed and will also sometimes not show the "Playsets" that I have set up.

Other times it will not launch the game when play is selected and a reset of the launcher is required before it can be played

Pretty much anytime I want to boot up Stellaris I have to battle with the launcher, including 1 or 2 resets of it before I can even get the game loaded up. I have tried reinstalling the launcher and it is up-to-date. I have also tried it with a fresh install of Stellaris with no mods and have the same issue.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!
 
What launcher version do you see? Current is 2021.9

How many mods are you subscribed to? It can struggle if there are a lot.
 
Hello! Thank you for the response!

I have the 2021.9 version. I did have 90 mods on. So I think it was just stressed with that. (didn't realise it was that many, mostly little ones but they soon add up!)

I have noticed when I took them off to play a default game with the new species pack (yay!) that I still had issues with the launcher loading up and just not progressing when I hit the play button. So I have to restart it. I've tried this a few times and had the same issue now.
 
Just to be clear - you've unsubscribed from some mods, disabled all the rest in th elauncher, but the launcher still won't start?

Please try the following:

- delete the folder Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod/
- delete the file Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mods_registry.json (if present)
- delete the file Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/launcher-v2.sqlite (if present)

Is that any better?
