Space/background/skybox is all white

[FrickyTheTroll]

Hello

This is my first post here and I'm in need of some serious help. I have attached images of what my Stellaris currently looks like.


I have no real idea how this happened or what caused it. I'm assume it has to do with mods. I have installed skybox mods and things similar however I have disable or uninstalled them after this happened, in hopes to fix it.
However I have loaded the game with an unmodded playset and it still appears all white (The screenshots are from unmodded). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as deleting the steams common folder, and verifying game files. I'm out of ideas and looking for some help. I'm happy to give any information that is needed or that I have forgotten. Again this is my first post.

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 so much. I completely forgot about the Documents folders, after deleting it, its now fixed!

Thanks again!
