Yes - If you buy games directly from us, you'll receive both PDX ownership (and with that the option to use the launcher to play) as well as a Steam key.
As much as we at PDX regret your ordeal, I'm afraid I can give you no solace on the matter - at present we don't have a solid "resume download" function in place. We are developing these capabilities, but it's slow going at the moment due to a host of other engagements. And no, your OS does not matter in this case.
Speaking of other engagements: We are in the process of switching CDN providers in order to increase download speeds, so hopefully that will improve your situation somewhat. I'll get back on that topic when we are ready for the migration - A lot of little fiddly bits need to fit before we get it working nicely though.
Odd - I just tried downloading the very same patch (Version 1.5.1-477R - Minus the STOMPYMECH, clearly) and it seems to work on my side. Of course that means little in the grand scheme of things, but at least it indicates that stuff is not broken for everyone. Does your cpatch.log file give a more detailed error message perhaps?
Automatically on download - We don't currently have a button to re-run the validation.
It is - But as mentioned before, the launcher has taken a bit of a back seat to other things in the production pipeline, so I can't give you a date on whe it'll be introduced.
Correct. Stop/Pause/resume are just some of the features on our long, long backlog of stuff we want to do but haven't managed to get around to.
Those ping times look rather odd, yes. Would it be possible to attempt the launcher installation from some alternative internet provider - Mobile perhaps? I wouldn't suggest installing games over mobile internet, but the launcher itself should be on the "not too big" end of the spectrum...
If your tablet will run the launcher (persumably a Windows tablet then?) you could certainly move the game from the tablet to your computer once downloaded. The game itself does not require the launcher to be present in order to run.
Stellaris does not require any online capabilities in order to run, though your news feeds might look a bit barren.
If you want to play multiplayer, you'll need a stable internet connection with relatively low latency. Taking what I know about your internet into account, I'd be surprised if you would be able to enjoy the multiplayer experience without regular "out of sync" problems, but it's worth a shot I guess
Our distribution client, a.k.a Launcher v1, that this thread concerns itself with has only rudimentary support for mods and is not going to see that support expanded. Our current efforts are centred around mod support in the "unified game splash screen", a.k.a Launcher v2.
I suspect, though, that your complaint concerns Launcher v2 - For what game in unclear from your post, the launcher is in use with eight games at the time of this writing. For the games that are intended to have mod tooling enabled, there are no open bugs and as far as the launcher team is aware mod support is largely working as intended. If you have problems you should contact our support - Most of these problems are eminently solvable.
As en end-note: Further discussion is better had in relevant Launcher v2 threads.
Please submit a bug report with as much information as you can through support.paradoxplaza.com for further investigation. It is possible it's a known issue of sorts, and maybe it's unknown. It's important to remember that Deuterium Oxide is working with the launcher exclusively, and does not possess any game specific insights. There are issues tied to specific games which may not by in the scope of what he's working on, or it is. The best way of getting to the bottom of it and finding the quickest resolution is to submit a ticket with the bug description.
Thank you!
That sure sounds like a bug - alas, it seems that modders have not contacted support about it, and hence we are unaware of the issue and also of how common it is. I do monitor the Stellaris modding subforum where I have seen no discourse concerning this.
If you wouldn't mind, could you send a report off to support detailing expected behaviour, actual behaviour and steps you need to take to work around the problem?
