Problem with Leader

[Alicebis]

I have a problem since the 3.8 update. Evey ruler that isn't in his usual background, he is frozen or twitching (usualy it's the FE and the machine empire that get affected the most). I have seen very few people reporting this but the bug so I wonder if it's my computer. I'm playing in the 3.8.3 version of the game and don't use mods. I've seen something about using dx11 or eles. Well I tried everything from dx9 to dx12 and it didn't solve the issue.
(sorry for the mistake, english isn't my first langage).

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 .

Hi,
Thank you for trying to help me.
Well I followed the step but sadly it didn't work. Any ruler with a mismatched background are still imobile or twitching.
Here are the files. Thank; I hope you'll find something out of it.
Best regards

You say you don't use mods but there's a mod error in that log - are you 100% sure they are all disabled in the launcher?

I tried everything from dx9 to dx12 and it didn't solve the issue.

Those logs show DX9 in use. The game does not use DX12 (so I don't know how you could have tried that?), but we should try DX11.
In your Steam Library right-click on this game and choose Properties. In the Launch Options line, paste this in there:
-dx11

If that doesn't change anything, I can only guess this is a bug. Do you have access to any other computer to test this on?

I didn't activate any mod but I had some I don't use. Still I made a clear reinstallation of the game without mod or even custom empire.

When I said I tried all the dx I mean I ran test adding -dx9 -dx11 -dx12 none of them worked.

Even after cleaning the folder and all, I still have this issue. Sadly I don't have any other computer I could use for that.

Still here is the new logs with the clean reinstalation (I started a game (with -dx11), but the bug is still here, mismatching portrait and background froze the animation). But at least the error log is empty.

I see we are back in borderless windowed mode - I take it that settings does not affect the problem?

There is a slightly newer nVidia driver now, may as well try that

If those don't help, as I say I guess this is a bug. Make a new thread in Bug Reports, and attach there a short movie of what you are seeing happen in the game, and describe there for QA what game choices you need to make to trigger the problem.

Sorry about that!
