Stellaris DLC files corrupted

[ivalvo]

I haven't played stellaris since the nemesis DLC came out and back then everything worked fine. I just Irevisited the game to play a game with friends and found that the megacorp (and a few mor) dlc is not working

i have all stellaris dlcs legitimately on steam but

.Megacorp

.Symbols of domination

.Paradox account sing-up bonus

.Creatures of the void portait pack

have the same "DLC files corrupted" simbol.

I reinstall entire game, manually uninstall all dlcs separately, check file integration but Megacorp still doesn't work

i dont have any active mod or third party programs

Please if anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate the help.

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.

That should do it for you!
