I have 397.1 Steam hours playing Stellaris.
Stellaris is the only game I own that can't install itself for High Rez Monitors.
I have over 150 games, all but 1 install fine. I have new and old games. So I see a sale on Steam for Stellaris DLCs, and I have not played Stellaris for about 5 or 6 years. So I install on my newer Comp. With a 85" 4k TV as a monitor, a Nvidia RTX 4080 Super 16Gig Video Ram, 12 Core AMD CPU, 64Gig Ram, and Stellaris can't figure out my settings. Even though it tells me what my settings are, the game window goes outside the edge of the screen. So I choose full screen, then full screen border less, and the game resizes to both of them. But the User Interface does not scale correctly. I wanted to try making a new species with my newly purchased DLCs but the Create species box is covering the buttons with the DLCs that I want to try. Under the box is 2 columns of DLC choices that I can't click on. I have tried all the manual settings to get the game to work at 1/2 4K resolution, but Nope same problem.
I set it to 1080p, and still the UI is in the way. I have to mess with settings text files, and I finally set it to a very old resolution that used to be on CRT monitors, but it still did not fix the UI being in the way. And as a bonus I now have text blobs that hurt my eyes to try to read. In essence I bought these DLCs to play a game that I can't run. . . So I guess I don't get to play stellaris. I have spent a week trying to get this game to work. No more. I am done. I am not going to do the game companies job for them.
They keep pumping out DLCs and don't bother fixing the game engine resolution to Self install on any current resolution systems. I don't want to play Stellaris ever again now. Which is sad. I had fun while I had the right resolution for the game when it came out in 2016. But I don't any longer. I don't have time to devote to fixing this game. If they will not do it by working with Computer, Video card and Display companies then I guess it will always be on us to fix their game. I don't have to do this with Any other game. We should not have to as their customers. It is called a game for a reason. Not a part time job as a game tech. But a player of a game.
Sorry for this rant! I just hate paying for things that I can't use and enjoy which is the point of a game. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope the Developer with read it as well to keep from loosing more customers.
