Some Active Mods Not Present on Disk?

[Kepheren]

So I am getting a message when I try to launch Stellaris that launching the game failed and please verigy the integrity of game files. There is also a red triangle off to the right of the play button that said some active mods not present on disk. I'm not running any mods so what could that be about? Is anyone else having this problem? Am pretty sure it's not just that I purchased Overlord over the weekend because it did let me play for awhile after that. Just seems all locked up this morning and I have no clue why.

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

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

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Stellaris or Documents Stellaris locations, before installing again.

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 .

Thank you for your reply. I followed the steps and when I finished it up the first time I was getting a message that there was a disk copy error but it would load the game. Doing a bit of research on line for Steam issues I found some fixes including a reboot and opening up the Steam program as an administrator. With that in mind I followed all the steps a second time and that seemed to get the job done. It took awhile to find all the files that needed deleted and then uninstall and reinstall twice (apparently my internet speed is slow) but I think that got it all fixed.

Thanks again.
