Stellaris crash on game open

[TonyPlaysGames]

I bought Stellaris a few years ago, and recently did a clean install of windows, as I was unable to receive windows updates. After reinstalling windows, and re-verifying my Stellaris files (saved from my secondary drive I plugged back in), I booted it up but it now crashes on boot! I have completely removed and reinstalled my mods, to prevent a corrupted mod file, and I was able to make it to about 3 years into a game, when now it crashes. I can create other new games, if I am careful to take my time through each screen (it crashes if I click on stuff to quickly as well), but loading autosaves also cause it to crash. Does anybody else know how to solve this?


I have completely updated my GPU drivers, checked to make sure I wasn't overloading my PSU, disabled N*rton, yet nothing seems to work. The only thing I have gotten to work so far, is if I boot up the game in Windows safe mode.

When it crashes, the game hangs, buzzes, and then my PC restarts.

Specs- if helpful.
Motherboard; ASRock X570 Taichi
GPU; Radeon RX Vega 64
PSU; EVGA 850 GQ
Processor; AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM; 32.0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Also I have not noticed any overheating problems, I carefully monitored both the temperature of my GPU and CPU, yet neither fluctuated past the normal ranges.
The two mods used are 'dynamic political events' and 'no clustered starts'. I have also tried removing them and playing but the issue persists

This is while mods are enabled, is that right? Because we can't help with modded games here.


Does it start okay when ALL mods are disabled? If not 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 , exceptions.log

I tried all the above steps, and updated drivers. I could not get it to work, so here is the program files.

Any ideas?
